Review

"Johnny Graphic and the Etheric Bomb is a novel drawing from the classic pulpy style of the 1930s, following Johnny Graphic, aspiring photographer, as he discovers ghosts covering every level of his desired career path. Finding ghosts friendly and hostile, he rushes to protect his sister from the latter, a task more difficult than he knows. Johnny Graphic and the Etheric Bomb is a strong pick for young adult readers, highly recommended." --Children's Bookwatch, a publication of the Midwest Book Review

Picked as one of six Favorite Self-Pub and Small Press Books 2012 by Reads4Tweens: "A pulp-inspired romp with a unique take on ghosts and zombies.
