Well, Digital Webbing Presents #6 made it onto the comic store shelves this week…at least it made it out to some of them. Looks like the shipping got messed up on them, so a lot of places won’t get the book until next Thursday. But if you did manage to get a copy of it this week, there’s a 6 page story written by me and illustrated by Scott Story called Arazel & Xarenia. I’m also involved with a few other stories that have been accepted for the anthology (including a second Arazel & Xarenia story in June with artwork by Deon Nuckols), so keep an eye out for them. Also keep an eye on Digital Webbing Press as they prepare to release a bunch of creator-owned titles under their imprint next year. Yay small press!

Well, time for an update. I managed to get up to Mid-Ohio Con last weekend, and that turned out to be a lot of fun. I met lots of great people (indy/small press creators, professional creators, and fans), helped out at the Digital Webbing table and even got my “Breaking Out!” newsletter into the hands of a few aspiring creators (a newsletter on submitting to companies and getting your name out there…it also has a list of 32 small press/indy publishers that accept submissions from creators). The Laughing Ogre pre-con party was great…food, drinks, live music, and lots of great company and it led perfectly into a weekend that was exciting and (aside from some hangovers) charged with enthusiasm and energy. Even though it’s not quite as big as the other cons, it was well worth the experience.

As for the site, I had planned on finishing up the coding for my new comic script pages while I was up there, but I wound up not having internet access…but I did get it finished today (so check it out). As I get more features coded into it, you’ll see more stuff added (like the characters, synopsis, and all the extra sections), but for now, it’s functional and you can read some of my sample scripts (more of which will be added soon).
