It’s possible that the clown car status of Twitter made me wonder what to do if that went away (or turned into a ghost ship). I have a number of accounts and manage not to use any of them very much. In this case, the potential of fewer choices actually spurred me to come here and write this.
Updates: Issue #1 of LOST IN THE WOODS is very nearly complete. Will G and I are releasing it the same way we did LOST IN THE WASH—three issues and the collection instead of a fourth issue. It’ll be worth it. A little time has passed in Isco, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I just finished 5RAGMENTA, an expanded collection of the first five FRAGMENTA books. Some changes at our printer knocked a couple of them out of print, so I decided to take the first five out and replace them with this. It’s 316 (!) pages, hardcover. It’ll go for $50. The first five FRAGMENTA, while different from each other, represent a specific phase of that project. It started as a dare to the rest of Candle Light Press to make art books. Once that door was opened, though, a lot of other stuff came out.
Coming very soon is THE WORLD WEST, an anthology by me, with art by Will Beard, Jeremy Smith, and Will Grant. It’s four loosely connected stories about why there are no vampires in Texas. Price TBD, but it’ll be 8.5x11.
And, yes, I am writing a new (third) TIRE. I’m done pretending there’s an end to this. Making it delights me in every way, so prepare your souls and soul-carriers. There’s seeking to be done!
As to actually appearing in public, I’ll be at the Quad Con Cedar Rapids on Feb 5, 2023. You can come see all the stuff I’ve been making from quarantine onwards. I did man a table with Will G and Carter at the Van Meter Visitor Fest in September, and it was fun. I am so rusty with my table banter, though. Y’all gotta come in Feb and help me practice!
