Hello, everyone!

In a dramatic change from last newsletter, I have nothing but good news to report this time around.

THING ONE: THE BOOKS ARE DONE.

They’re done, they’re done, they’re done. Thanks to the wonderful folks down at Malloy, Inc in Ann Arbor, I finally have books. Unfortunately, since Diamond had to re-cut the PO due to the prior delay, the books should ship to comics stores around the end of September. But they’re done, and they look good, and if you’ve ordered one through your Local Comics Store, your order *will* be fulfilled. YAY!

THING TWO: LET THE PARTY BEGIN.

Or, rather, parties. At the moment I have four signings lined up. If you’re in the area, please come on down and visit — I’d love to see you guys. Your kind words have kept me going through the last few years, and now it’s time to celebrate! Here’s the schedule:

THING THREE: I GOTS THE KEYS!

I have key necklaces. Most of them sold before I could get them home (seriously — they were that popular), but I might have one or two left by the first signing. If you really really REALLY want one of the first batch, email me ASAP; first come, first served. I’ll hold the rest of the names in the order I received them. Don’t send money until I can confirm that I have an actual key to sell you.

That’s all the news for the moment; the hardcovers are being bound, and with a little luck I may have a few of each title with me on some of the speaking engagements. Get ’em while they’re hot!
