I haven’t updated this blog with a new post in a while. I appreciate everyone who reads this stuff and actually look forward to my ramblings.

Late 2013 and early 2014 have been keeping me VERY busy. Since writing is now my day job, I have multiple WFH (Work For Hire) projects I have to stay on top of every month. Next to that are my personal comic projects that are in various stages of being written, edited, drawn, and lettered. The biggest thing in that area is that we have started production of the Chaos Campus Act 2 issues (#21-40 plus EC #6-10). I’m a much different (hopefully better) writer than I was when I started the Chaos Campus experiment, so hopefully this section of the saga will improve the series (and make up for mistakes and missteps of the first Act).

As you may or may not have noticed from my Events & Signings page, I’m doing a lot of shows this year to promote and sell my current library of titles. That has been a fun, but draining experience (be sure to read the Bleeding Cool articles for more details).

The biggest thing throwing my usual schedule off is that I have started writing novel manuscripts. Writing prose takes a much different set of writing muscles than writing scripts, so it takes much longer and more out of me. I am determined to get at least 4 books written and published within the next five years, so wish me luck on that front! The first will be Corporeal (which you can find out more about with this link). Following that will be The Children of Mercury Heights series of books. More about those later.

Well, that will do it for this blog update. Please keep coming by to see me at the shows… I love talking to you guys in person!

Just a quick post as a memorial to the great shows of 2013. Looking forward to the 2014 convention season. Hope to see you all at one or more of them!

For everyone attending the Long Beach Comic-Con next week, stop by to see me at Booth #1304b!  I’ll be promoting a special limited edition LBCC only printing of Hass #1 (only 100 copies printed, so get yours before they’re all gone).  There will also be copies of Chaos Campus along with a few random surprises.

See you there!

I’ve been super busy since the wonderful chaos that was SDCC, but I’ll do a blog post about that experience within the next week or so.  Until then I wanted to give a few updates concerning my latest two projects, Hass & Southern Hospitality:

There were 50 limited First Look copies of Hass #1 printed for SDCC.  Here’s the first review for the issue!  Hass is a four issue mini series and we hope to have more news for the series within the next few months.

The next project I plan to push heavily around the Long Beach Comic-Con is the Southern Hospitality graphic novel.  Artist Kevin Richardson made a cool blog post that gives a little background insight on the book as long as a sneak peek of the interior art!

For everyone attending the San Diego Comic Con next week, I’m going to be at the Arcana booth (booth 2415) promoting and signing copies of Blood, Shells, & Roses, Amour GN vol. 1 & 2, and Lethal Instinct TPB vol 1!  Stop on by!  I’m scheduled to sign on the following schedule:

Saturday – July 20th
12:30PM – 1:15 PM

Sunday – July 21st
11:30AM – 12:30 PM

If all goes as planned I will have Evil Inside tee shirts for sale, too!

I will also be stopping in at the Lion Forge/Geekscape booth (#3919) when I can to help preach the word about The Chosen and Catalyst Prime!

So there you have it!  Hope to see everyone there! 🙂

P.S. Six full issues of Chaos Campus are up on www.ChaosCampus.com.  Extra Credit #2 is almost over and #7 of the regular series will begin soon!  Updates continue every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Yesterday I drove the 13 hours to and from Oakland for the Image Expo.  I’ve never driven that much in one day in my life.  Right now it seems the only ill effect is that my right ass cheek is numb… TMI?  lol

I am surprised Faith/Kelly (the Mustang) was able to make the trip without any problems.  I’ll reward her with a wash and wax sometime this week.

I really should be writing right now, but my brain is still scattered all over the place.  I hate getting into these modes.  🙁

One of the books I’m doing through Arcana Comics finally has a tentative release date!  Blood, Shells, & Roses will be released on or around Oct 18, 2011 according to the Amazon pre-release page.

For those attending the San Diego Comic Con next week, I’m going to be at the Arcana booth (booth 2415) promoting and signing copies of Blood, Shells, & Roses.  Stop on by!  I’m scheduled to sign on the following schedule:

Saturday – July 23rd

Sunday – July 24th

03:00 PM – 03:45 PM

P.S. The full first and second issues are up on www.ChaosCampus.com.  Issue #3 has begun!  Updates continue every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

UPDATE: I was just informed that advance copies of Amour GN vol. 1 & 2 will also be available!  Add this on top of the possible advance copies of Lethal Instinct TPB vol 1 and that will make four new books for your reading pleasure!  You’ll have to see it to believe it, haha!

I will be attending, mostly floating around and attending meetings.  I’m not on the official Arcana schedule, but since I’m assured at least the first issue of my new mini series “Blood, Shells, & Roses” will be there I’ll probably be there sometime or another.  Keep checking in and asking my whereabouts!

If you’re attending, let me know if you’ll be walking around or at a booth (and the location and times).

============================================================================================

There was a previous Chaos Campus series to test the waters with the concept.  Those issues were collected within the Chaos Campus: Orientation TPB.  You can snag a copy of that physical 162 page book right here.
