SOLD OUT!!!!!

Something I keep neglecting to mention and I better do it right now, is that my two GNs: "Pleasant Life: What we leave behind" and "Anna Pocalypse #1" are SOLD OUT. So if you go to the BUY STUFF link to the right here and order, it will take longer than 2-3 weeks to deliver them. In fact, probably a couple months. So please bare that in mind. I sold the last two copies I had a couple weeks ago and forgot to mention it.

What I want to do now is reprint them but first of all with a new cover. And also I think the root file of the Pleasant Life book has a page doubled and missing in there. So I want to fix that as well. I was never happy with the cover to the Pleasant Life book. My first choice was a parody of the STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE poster. But as I was going to press, I realized that someone had already beat me to the punch on that particular cover idea. That being Kris Straub and his book: Starslip Crisis. He even stopped by and made a comment about it. Read about it all in this old blog post right HERE. I much preferred that cover. And even though he sorta gave me the "okay" on it, I decided to slap together a new one. But I was never happy with it. So I am gonna draw a new one and make it the new cover.

Now, ANNA's cover is fine. But for some reason, I grew to dislike it. The main reason is because the gun she is holding points down and Milo the cat seems to be right under it. And people have commented that it looks like she is going to shoot him! And its always bothered me after the fact. So I decided to change it. So: After the current card set is complete, I will work on new covers and re-producing the books into re-printing! So you can still order if you want, but please bare with me as I make some changes and assemble the best product possible. I will include bonus items for your waiting trouble and faith in me while waiting. Thanks!

Believe me, this is a great problem to have! I had ordered a nice amount of back stock on both books and now they are both sold out. It feels really great to know that all those books are in the hands of people out there who read them and enjoy them. Its way less copies than a direct market book would be, but I still feel like Stephen King!

And there's MORE books coming from me very soon! First of all, you got the sequel to ANNA POCALYPSE. Then in early 2013 you got the EXPENDABLES tradebook. Then I plan on collecting the old old OLD stories of Pleasant Life, (long since sold out and old college artwork I will indeed hate to look at again, but is part of the story so necessary to see) and releasing that as a large omnibus for all to see. Then the new Pleasant Life sequel. Then, I am going to print my advice book "In the Trenches: How to Survive as a Small Press Comic Book Publisher" into a book format. And I got my "adult store tell-all" book. Then a collection of webstrips from the upcoming webcomic, with expanded artwork and sex scenes! Then perhaps a full written novel with all original characters and a story I never got to tell in the comics, but prefer to tell it in novel form, the long teased and awaited, OUTCAST!

So yeah, your bookshelves will be full in the next few years of my work. And thats just what I am telling you about! Heh. So bare with me and I promise you will see product and results. Have I ever let you down before? ;)

Cheers, T
