I was interviewed about MEAT AND BONE by Deborah Brown on Taking A Leap! This was a really fun interview. Deborah had great questions and was so charming I felt absolutely at ease taking with her. Give it a listen!
This is to promote my visit to MIAMI!! I’m a first of the Miami Book Fair.

I’ve been talking a LOT about Meat and Bone! Here’s the most recent interviews. There’s a lot of overlap in questions, but each interviewer took their own angle with Meat and Bone and qhat they wanted to explore in it. I’d love to do more deep-dives into the plot and the characters of my new book. Hopefully more to come!

Also I’m still really hoping someone does  acriticism piece on the book, that would be amazing to learn from a serious perspective.

A queer slice-of-life drama about dating and eating.

Anne thinks that getting a new place with her two best friends will be a fresh start — then she meets Marshall, the girl downstairs. Their friendship will trigger body image issues she thought she had left behind. Meanwhile, Gwen tries out polyamorous dating and Jane practically moves into the gym, where she quietly works through her problems and those of her friends. In Meat and Bone, Kat Verhoeven winds these threads into an unflinching, beautifully illustrated exploration of how three Toronto women define themselves.

COMING OUT NEXT WEEK!!

Gorgeous fat galley proofs! It feels amazing to even hold this mockup of “Meat and Bone” in my hands and really feel the presence of so much work and time. It’s a big book! And the neon ink looks so damn good. Can’t wait to see the proper books with all the spot gloss and glue binding. Guys, it’s real! And it’s coming out in exactly three months, wow wow wow.

Hello dear friends! There are two weeks left before the Meat&Bone archive comes down on January 1st. Read now while you still can!

While the book will be a perfect nugget of correct and coloured pages, the webcomic now has more flaws than ever. Sadly because of Tumblr’s recent, ridiculous and descriminatory changes against adult content, various pages have been flagged for removal, either because of the adult content in the serious topics within Meat and Bone, or erroneosly. As a result, the archive is now a discombobulated mess. But hey. You can still read it if you want! I am sorry the experience has been ruined.

The book will be out in a few months, and I hope that if you’ve enjoyed Meat and Bone, you;ll buy a copy! I did my best to make it beautiful while keeping it affordable.

This is the working cover for the my graphic novel “Meat and Bone”, a story about three roomates and their relationships with their bodies, food, each other…and the mysterious neighbor girl downstairs.

This is an ensemble cast story exploring friendship, longing, eating disorders, writing, polyamory, jealousy, FEELINGS!! It’s all about the relationships.

Full colour, beautiful art, neon spot and approx. 350 pages, coming out from Conundrum Press in May 2019! I’ll keep everyone updated with more details and a few surprises along the way. Stay tuned!

You can now PRE-ORDER the Meat and Bone book! 340+ pages on comics with an intro by Kevin Czap.
