POSTCARDS in USA TODAY; COFFIN nearly complete!

Bulletin:

Hey all - i'm around... just been spending hours every day revising COFFIN, my first novel, and researching the next novel. Working hard so the online patter suffers - you all know how it is.

USA Today reviewed Postcards; True Stories That Never Happened in print and online today. Haven't seen the print edition yet but boom:

novels_N.htm?csp=34

Jason Rodriguez is a promotion genius, by the way. A an evil genius machine. As he recently said: "Daily Candy featured the book, shooting us up to #5 on Amazon’s top-100 Comics & Graphic Novels (spent about a day there). Today’s (August 9th’s) USA Today had a strong review of POSTCARDS. The book has received press in the Washington Post Express, Washington City Paper, LA Times, Publisher’s Weekly, Ain’t It Cool News, Pittsburgh Tribune, DCist, Kirkus Reviews, Comic Book Resources, Newsarama, and many other newspapers, magazines, and websites." God bless, Jason. Script 2 is on the way.

The comics work has really taken a back burner since i vowed to finish COFFIN, my first novel. Jake is plugging on DEAD RONIN but the script is holding at page 120 (of 200). We have a new artist on THE FIFTIES and his character sketches are amazing - we'll be cobbling together a new pitch this fall. Nico Cinquenari is working on THE BIG KAHN for NBM and I have GOT to start drawing more MIGDAL DAVID but the IDW series starts soon and then STARSTRUCK (more on that soon - colorists, email me!) and then more work for CRYPT and pitches for a major license and getting back in touch with editors who are musing projects now that SDCC is over and WWC is nearly in the books and and and...

Is it bad that I still want more projects?

Have I mentioned I've been getting to sleep at 2 and waking at 7?

Weeeeeeekend.
