BOOK STORES ARE GEARING UP!

So this past weekend I attended Saint AuGHOSTine 2009. It was an interesting event...definitely not what I expected, but I met some interesting people like Murray Silver and Stacy the Ghost Cop. :-P We checked out the Saint Francis Inn, the Lighthouse and had a few seminars and guest speakings.

However, needless to say, it was more important that I went about and promoted my book at some of the local Saint George Street book shops. I had my eyes set specifically on three: Ghost Augustine, the Tavern shop, and Ghostly Experience, all of which are evenly seperated across the length of the walk.

Well, Ghostly Experience was hooked from the get go, and Ghost Augustine and the Tavern shop seemed eager to carry it as well for the upcoming soft opening. I managed to get a few others interested and I'm hoping that Barnes and Noble will carry a couple copies.

I of course will be pitching my book to some mainstream publishers, but I thought in the spirit of Halloween I'd give the tourists a taste of "Flagler's Few". I have a neat guerrilla advertising idea for the book as well...but need to discuss that with Saint Augustine's city affairs department.

The book will hopefully be available via Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com as well. Wish me luck!

Panama Monster!

I just caught this online. Evidentially some kids in Panama were being attacked by this thing, but after throwing rocks at it and reportedly "throwing" it into the water...it appeared to have died. Officials claim it to be a fetus, but my opinion is that the arms on this thing are far too developed to be something like that. Check it out!

Rome Tribune Ghost Documentary

Check out the documentary Rome News-Tribune put together about the ghosts of Rome. I showed you the photos earlier this month, but the videos that they put together are so much better!

I want to thank the Rome Tribune for bringing me on board this project, it was amazing fun leading the investigations into the Chieftain Museum, the Desoto Theatre and the Catacombs of Shorter College.

So I hope you enjoy!

PRINCIPAL ARTWORK FINISHED!!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, Flagler's Few: The Reaper of Saint George Street (Part 1) is FINISHED!

After a year of working on the artwork, I've just completed the artwork. Now comes the much more relaxing task of work bubbling and box placements. It'll be frustrating, but I'll be able to finish it in a fraction of a time!

Still leaning heavily to a October 31st release date!

I'll be posting some word bubbled pages up soon!

Also, if any paranormal investigators are interested, I'll be in St. Augustine attending Saint AuGHOSTine 2009! I'd love to see some friendly faces at what is sure to be a fantastic time! Hurry though, they're already at 80% capacity!

Progress!

For your viewing pleasure, here are some more pages I had the chance to scan and upload. I'm penciling and inking the final 8 pages of the book, and should be ready to start word bubbling these pages by the first week of September. So we'll finally get some dialogue in these empty pages!

If all goes as planned, it looks like I won't have to apologize for postponing the book any further. October is still my planned soft-release date.

Until then, enjoy!

No new updates yet...

Sorry folks! I'm working on the wire to get this book out before Halloween 2009! I originally wanted it done before the ghost conference in Saint Augustine, "Saint Aughostine", but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Though I may have some promotional material available at the conference to promote the book.

Please stay tuned, I should have something new for you to look at soon.

Flagler's Few in Halloween Special!!!

Hey gang! Some great news! Shriek Freak Quarterly's Deaditor-in-Chief, Eric Downton, just contacted me and let me know that the pages I submitted for their First Halloween Special will be included. So while Flagler's Few will be released the same month, you'll be able to purchase the Shriek Freak Magazine to get a sneak peak at what's coming!

Please, everyone check out the Shriek Freak website and purchase a copy of the Halloween Special, not only to show your support for the graphic novel, but also for Shriek Freak Quarterly, who are hard at work to bring you the very best in horror-fiction provided by the fans themselves!

Not only that...but imagine what a collector's item you'll have when Flagler's Few becomes more popular then that little four-eyed british wizard kid! :-P
