Rambling blog posts about True Crime in Kenmore, NY led to “fan fiction” which led to a successful Kickstarter campaign which resulted in the original “Return to Snakeland” graphic novel in 2017! The graphic novel is long sold out but was cited in a Master’s Thesis and was used as a required text in a “Graphic Novel as Literature” class at a local college, and this led to the Homegrown Authors reading at the Central Library in Buffalo, NY and the idea for the podcast of the same name in 2021.

The RETURN TO SNAKELAND Project consists of the Graphic Novel, Podcast, Historic Materials and Webcomic of the same name. It has been more than 15 years in the making, involving painstaking research, multiple interviews, creating comics and, of course, living through the events as teenagers in the 1980s and early 90s.
