July 21-22, 2017, The Woodlands, TX - Programs at the Home School Book Fair: http://www.thsc.org/events/texas-home-school-conventions/woodlands-registration/

Maverick Books will be selling books, and John Erickson will be available to sign them. The author will also be performing "Hank in Concert" as a keynote speaker.

John Erickson will also be hosting a workshop: "Toward an Animated Hank"

Author John Erickson talks about HTC Productions’ efforts to translate the Hank the Cowdog series of books into animated programs for commercial television. He will take the audience through the process of creating preproduction materials: an illustrated book called a “pitch pack” and an animated 11 minute pilot episode. The steps include: raising money, writing scripts, character designs, initial sketches, animatic, voice talent, and finished animation. With the pilot and a pitch pack, HTC will move to the next step, seeking partners for full production and distribution.
