Yippee Ki Yea

I’m heading out to a book fair in–of all places–Deadwood, South Dakota (now I wish I watched the program). I’ll be out there with editor Andy Schmidt, pushing the notion of comic books as being something other than the province of children and forty-year-old virgins, although we will be doing a panel on comic books aimed at kids. .

I’ll be back Sunday afternoon.

Checking in with projects…

Pilot episode to a proposed animated series: Turned in. Producers working on making it happen. Will keep everyone informed.

Manuscript for “Fall of Knight”: Done. Some line-editing needed, but hopefully minor. WIll be turned in Monday morning. On schedule to be published in summer of 2006.

Script for X-Factor #4: Turned in.

Script for Soulsearchers #74: Turned in.

Fourth “Apropos” book: Here’s the thing, guys. Pocket Books is no longer acquiring original fantasy novels. And it’s difficult to move a series to another publisher since they can’t have the first three books. So I’m basically stuck at Pocket until I can get the rights reverted…which won’t be happening anytime soon since they keep going back to press with the first book, and are just coming out with the paperback of the third one. I’ll probably be working on doing short stories of the character in my copious spare time.

Sleep: BWAAAHAHAHA
