Good news, everyone!

 I got this email from my printer yesterday!

I know she says "semi-good news", but I'm just thrilled that Impure Blood Vol.3 is at long last on dry land! And that fulfillment may happen within the next few weeks! Now, obviously I can't promise that everyone will get their books in time for the holidays... but I'm really hoping that's how it shakes out. Believe me, nobody wants to get this campaign fulfilled and out into the world more than I do.

I'll continue to keep you posted on progress. I do want to thank everyone for their patience, for backing the campaign, for making this series possible, and really for not even complaining about anything! Seriously, I haven't heard a discouraging word from any one. Just goes to show that I have amazing backers. Thank you so much. Kickstarter has been a marvelous experience for me, and I can't wait to show you what I have coming up next!

More soon!

Till then, be good!

But not too good 😉

Impure Blood, Vol.4 is half over!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 04:29:12 PM

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that the Impure Blood, Vol.4 Kickstarter is half over! Or half done, depending on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist.

We're doing great, we've cleared the first stretch goal, and we've got about 55 hardcopies of Impure Blood going to ComicBooks For Kids!

The only thing that could possibly make it better is you. You have been an integral part of Impure Blood since I launched the campaign for Volume 1 waaaaayyy back in February of 2020. I could not have gotten this far without you, so I want to make sure that you have every opportunity to help bring it home.

CLICK HERE to be a part of the exciting conclusion.

My eternal gratitude.

More soon.

Till then, be good!

But not too good 😉

That's right!

 IMPURE BLOOD VOL.4 HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!!! 

Just CLICK HERE, do the thing, then kick back and enjoy the ride!

And don't forget, If we can make our funding goal by noon tomorrow (October 17th), I will shave my beard into mutton chops and keep it that way for the entirety of the campaign.

So if you want to pick up some awesome comics, and see me sport a couple of stylish cheek-sweaters for the next 30 days, I cannot offer you a better opportunity than this.

And since launching a Kickstarter this weekend wasn't enough, I'm also going to be at MetaCon in Minneapolis this weekend.

Stop by, say hi! And, I have a little something special for you if you back the Kickstarter in front of me at the convention. What is it? Gonna have to come find me to find out!

We're off to the races and I can't wait to see what happens! I have a feeling this is going to be a good one!

More soon!

Till then, be good!

But not too good 😉

OMG, you guys!

So I a poll about whether I should launch the Impure Blood Vol.4 Kickstarter, inspite of all the shipping delays, and the results were decisive to say the least!

So without further ado, I am pleased to announce that we are launching this weekend! Saturday is the official launch day! CLICK HERE to get notified as soon as we launch!

But that's not all! I wanted to come up with something fun and silly to celebrate the fourth and final Impure Blood, Kickstarter, and I think I got it.

That's right...!

If Impure Blood, Vol.4 funds within the first 24 hours, I will shave my beard into mutton chops and keep them that way for the rest of the Kickstarter campaign!

The things I do for my backers...

Plus, with all the videos I do and pictures I take while campaigning, the chops will definitely be preserved for posterity.

But we have to fund by noon on the 17th, so click that link to get notified if you want to make sure that happens!

Saturday's the day! See you on the other side!

Till then, be good!

But not too good 😉

Good News/Bad News
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 05, 2021 at 04:25:34 PM

First, the good news:

The Impure Blood, Volume 4 Kickstarter page is up and ready to launch!

CLICK HERE to have a gander!

As always, I'd love to know what you think. Do the rewards look good? Do the tiers make sense? See any typos? As always I value your opinion.

And don't forget to hit that "Notify Me" button so you don't miss out on launch day!

Whiiiiccchh brings me to the bad news...

I checked in with the printer this week, and unfortunately there's been no movement on the container that has the shipment of Impure Blood, Vol.3 books.

Like, none.

In the last month.

I'd been hearing that Covid delays have been backing up distribution networks across the world, but this is something else. I've been looking to see if there's anything I can do.

I even looked into what it would take to fly to the west coast, rent a UHaul, and drive home.

(It would be a 30 hour drive home to Minnesota, plus the books still need to go through customs, plus I think they're still on the boat. And, while I am a pretty good swimmer, I'm not sure I could schlep a literal ton of books on my back across the harbor.)

So unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that waiting is the only option. And because my mama always taught me to finish what I'm working on before starting something new, it's looking like Impure Blood, Vol.4 will probably get pushed back to early next year.

So yeah. I'm kinda bummed about that, and there's not much else to say about it. I feel like I'm letting down the people who were looking forward to the final chapter of Impure Blood and I was kinda counting on the revenue from the Volume 4 to keep things rolling into the new year.

Now don't get me wrong, things are going to be OK. This isn't going to sink me and I've weathered worse. It's just not the way I was hoping to close out 2021.

Here's hoping you're having a lovely Autumn, and may 2022 yield bigger and better things. CLICK that link so you'll get notified when Impure Blood, Vol.4 does finally launch.

I'll get back to you with more soon. But right now I gotta go curl up with a bowl of pumpkin spice Cheerios.

Till next time, be good!

But not too good 😉
