Manga / Comics Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

Hello loyal readers. I had a great time last weekend at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, also known as C2E2. I met a lot of great creators and had many books signed. I cosplayed with a friend as Heroes for Hire. It was a great experience. Of course, it would not be a true convention for me if I didn't buy a ton of books, which I did. I purchased around 117 comics, with most of them coming from the quarter and dollar bins. Here are the two most recent articles, I hope you all enjoy.

Collected Editions and Graphic Novels Introduction
Physical copies of comic book styled stories go beyond individual issues. This serves as a brief introduction.
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art65011.asp

Convention Tips for First Timers
Here are tips for first time convention attendees to handle that first weekend with less stress.

Horror Literature Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

The Horror Literature topic area is currently seeking a new editor! If you love Horror Literature, and want to learn how to write for the web, please visit the BellaOnline application area -

http://www.bellaonline.com/misc/joinus/

BellaOnline is an online educational site which focuses on helping new writers learn the skills necessary to thrive on the web. We look forward to hearing from you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celebrate the Spring Equinox

Spring is a season of contrasts. The bleak edges of winter are gentling into a softer welcome. The crisp monochromatic spirals of a staircase become mirrored by the peach petals of a flower. A resting duck is reflected in the still waters of its pond. Life begins anew.

Poems echo the swift, darting nature of a hummingbird and catch vainly at fading memories scattering like crickets. Red geraniums and purple fragrance encourage us to drink deeply.

Fiction walks with a jilted bride constructing a new start and a widow releasing the relics of the past. A young woman contemplates being responsible for another woman's children.

Non-Fiction illuminates. A nicotine addict reveals her painful struggles. A visitor to Ghana discovers just how much there is to share with others. A young girl realizes the insidious power of a lie.

Dyan deNapoli shares the heartache and redemption of saving 40,000 penguins from a devastating oil spill. Learn what you can do to make a difference.

Where can I download books from the Web?

You may not be able to get John Grisham ebooks yet, but book lovers can get their hands on both classics and new authors' works via the Internet. In addition, most downloadable books are much cheaper than printed editions. The following are a few of the larger downloadable book sites:
Download pdf books - Download Books -Offers nearly 90,000 books that are downloadable.
Recommended books - Quality PDF Downloadable ebooks available for download instantly.
Most modern works that haven't entered the public domain require payment, whether in print form or downloadable as electronic texts. Numerous sites offer online shopping for electronic texts, usually offering a small collection of free public domain works too.

Hi everyone,

Damage by John Lescroart takes a look at what happens when money buys the freedom of a vicious killer. Also, how that money damaged the lives of those who sent him to prison in the first place. Very powerful and fast-paced read.

I hope you enjoy the review. Here's the latest article from the Mystery Books site at BellaOnline.com.

Damage Review
Ten years after his conviction for murder, Ro Curtlee is out on bail pending a retrial due to a technicality. Within twenty-four hours, the star witness for the prosecution is murdered. Coincidence?

Manga / Comics Newsletter from BellaOnline.com

Hello loyal readers. The comic's world is still mourning the passing of the extremely talented Dwayne McDuffie last week. In two weeks, I will be in Chicago for the 2nd Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, otherwise known as C2E2. I really enjoyed the debut show last year and it appears I will enjoy this years as well. I still have some things to get done in preparation, typical convention planning stuff including pulling books to get signed and planning clothes for the weekend. I will also be doing my first cosplay as well. I will be going as Luke Cage. This should be very interesting.

Comics for Kids
Despite the attention more mature comic titles receive, there are still healthy selections of titles available for kids.

Remembering Dwayne McDuffie
Dwayne McDuffie accomplished quite a bit in his work in comics and animation. He will be missed.
