Fuse #8 TV: Victoria Jamieson!
I didn’t really plan it this way, but this week is basically just wall to wall videos of me yammering till the cows come home. Fortunately, in the case of the latest episode of Fuse #8 TV I’m at least joined by the lovely and infinitely talented graphic novelist Victoria Jamieson.
In this, the latest of my video series, I decide to take you guys on a tour of a castle. A castle chock FULL of children’s literature. Don’t believe me? Then prepare to be amazed.

After that I sit down with Ms. Jamieson and we discuss Roller Girl, an all new graphic novel that combines the fun and personal relationships you might find in a Raina Telgemeier comic with the fury and glory of a roller derby match.
Many thanks to the good people at Penguin Young Readers for letting me speak with Ms. Jamieson. You can find her book Roller Girl on your shelves March 10th. And you can find full episodes of Fuse #8 TV here.
