Here’s what happened in June and Happening in July

June ended up being so busy I forgot to put out a newsletter. Duh. So here’s June/July.

Office remodel is mostly done

I still have dozens of shelves and file cabinets of stuff to sort through, but the functional part is done and working. Alexa controls the lights and radio (the little circle dead center). Lots of geeky stuff in there, but that’s nothing compared to when the rest is unpacked.

It may look like it’s only paint that changed, but everything is rewired, battery backed up, cables organized. Ask your IT guy. This stuff matters.

BEFORE:

Geek & Co. booth at GenCon

CoH Expansion Plans

Now that CoH is up an running smoothly (http://collectiveofheroes.net) I’ve started some ambitious plans. One effort is that I’m creating a CoH reading app for android. All of our comics at your fingertips, updated weekly. Full back catalogs of current and older comics. Easy to navigate. Should be ready this fall.

The second effort came about because I got unexpected shared booth space at GenCon in August. I’m making the first expansion to our Heroes United trading card game – the CoH edition. Since this group is voluntary, we’ll see if it all comes together in time and whether it’s an expansion or a new core deck.

Project in the works

We’re polishing up the book. Looking at releasing pre read copies for reviewers in August. I’ll also be opening up a pre release order in September for you, my best fans.

Projects on hold-ish

That’s Odin on the left (the Corgi of Corgi Press). On the right is Thor, his younger brother. Both are shocked at my lack of progress.

  • My graphic novel of horror short stories about a monster for hire. Haven’t touched it.
  • Publishing the last Our Super Mom trade. Same state as before. I’ve decided to make the review rounds with both Fox and OSM instead of staggering them.
  • My fantasy novel/series hasn’t had any movement. The only new thing I’ve written in the last 60 days is the final draft of Delta Dawn Issue 2. That was so late the artists caught up to where the writing ended.
  • Delta Dawn issue 3 needs to get started along with a cover commission.

My Top Ten Live Action Super Hero TV Shows footnote:

Cloak & Dagger and Luke Cage 2 came out since the last list. They both deserve to be in the top ten.
