Join local author Toril Orlesky, the author of Hotblood!, to discuss centaurs and robber barons in the 1870s Wild West
About this Event

Centaurs. Robber barons. Beautiful scenic vistas … The wild west has never looked so promising.

The year is 1871 and the centaur Evander Rook finds himself at rock bottom, working for would-be robber baron Asa Langley–a human! As the unlikely pair get closer, romance and conspiracy run wild and Rook finds himself caught up in Asa’s ambitions as they are both forced to face the ghosts of their interwoven pasts.

Hotblood! was serialized online as a biweekly webcomic on Tumblr from 2013 through 2015. The first edition was printed with the help of 1,626 Kickstarter backers in 2016. This new version has been fully redrawn and rescripted as a reimagining of the story.

The event is free. You don't need to register to attend. If you would like to order a copy of the book for purchase at the event, please click on the "Get tickets" button (we know; it doesn't make sense to us either but Eventbrite has confounded our attempts to change the button text). Please note that the book does not release until Sept. 9, 2025.

Toril Orlesky graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2013. She lives in California.
