My next convention appearance will be in January for Anime Los Angeles!

I’ll be in Sydney, Australia for a lecture series and the opening of the Museum of New South Wales exhibit Phenomenal beings: spirits in Japanese art and culture.

I hope some Australian fans come out for this rare chance to meet!

A new book coming from the Museum of International Folk Art with contributions from the superstars of yokai studies, including… Zack Davisson! This is going to be an invaluable resource and a great book!

I’ve been announced as a guest for Anime NYC 2019. Excited to make my first appearance at this con!

I attended the American Writers and Writing Program (AWP) conference this weekend, where I did a panel on Asian Ghosts with M Thomas Gammarino, Leanne Dunic, and Khaty Xiong. It was a fascinating panel and I was honored to be a part of it.

Afterwards, one of the attendees showed me her sketchbook. She had been live sketching the panel, and did an amazing job!

My first book “Yurei: The Japanese Ghost” has been translated into Spanish and will be published by Satori Ediciones. Their design for the book looks great!! Very exciting!

The Polish translation of my book Yurei: The Japanese Ghost is officially available!!!

I will be a guest presenter at the 42nd annual Powell Street Festival in Vancouver, Canada this weekend. Looking forward to it!

Local newspaper The Stranger spotlighted my book Kaibyo: The Supernatural Cats of Japan, as well as my upcoming event at Meowtropolitan cat café.
