Remember… I can still recall every detail of the day when I saw the life I wanted sitting in a window. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd bought that vase and made a home for it. — Claire Fraser, S01E01 Sassenach

I've been cleaning and reorganizing my office (including all my own comp copies of all my books and merch) and realized I hadn't included any details on my (limited) involvement with the ZOMBIES!!! tabletop game from 2014 over in the "Bibliography" section of www.DirkManning.com (my personal website). I got to "write" two cards for the series, both gorgeously illustrated by my pal @daveaikins: "Nightmares Are Real!" goes as far as to feature me in the art itself, and the second card ("Bite Me!") was the art for the whole box! This was a fun experience as I love the game, and it's also another reminder of how fortunate I've been to work -- and have the support of -- such amazing people during these first 20 years of my career! Y'all rock! For more details on this -- and a full trip down memory lane -- check out the newly updated "Bibliography" section of my webpage! There's lots of cool history and stories there! #dirkmanning #daveaikins #zombies13 #20YearsOfTerror https://www.instagram.com/p/CnqPZf8Mr11/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got an amazing sketch done of @emmadumont as Polaris by the awesome @daveaikins !! Seriously he's a must if you see him at a con or for a commission hit him up! Cover was signed as a blank at Fan Fest by Emma! #werefanstoo #polaris #emmadumont #daveaikins #thegifted #xmen
