I have a request to make of my followers/readers. Please follow the link for the details! Thankies!

I made a name change to my Facebook Page to cover both the publishing aspects of my novels as well as my comics...

Still serves the same purpose but has a more.... professional sounding name. Say hello to Darwin Publishing.

Been a while since I talked about physical book inventory with my readers! So here's the skinny, I have the following books available in print for anyone who has been thinking about buying a copy but want one that's signed:

Gemutations:
M&A 2nd Ed 4 copies at $12 each
Plague 4 copies at $12 each

The Only Half Saga:
Before the Fall 9 copies at $12 each
Redemption 5 copies at $12 each
Tales (vol 1) 8 copies at $10 each

The Brothers Martin
Forgotten Ties 6 copies at $15 each

All books are rated for readers 16+ due to the adult nature of some content (more language and violent situations than what else "adult" raises in the mind.) If you're not sure what to expect I would recommend you peruse my comics at http://darwincomics.spiderforest.com to get a good idea of what you're getting into!

These prices are before shipping and handling. I will entertain bulk discounts (three or more books purchased at one time for reduced prices).

If you are interested please contact me privately so we can make arrangements for payment and such.

Speaking of books... heh...

I have in my plans for this year to publish not one but TWO more books.

The first I am hoping will be around August. That will be the prequel to Forgotten Ties, "In the Beginning." As the title suggests, the story goes into detail how Tom and Steve Martin ended up in cybernetics in the first place and all they suffered through up to the beginning of Forgotten Ties (there is even a tad bit of overlap there)

The other book will be the third in The Only Half Saga original trilogy, "Endgame". If it sounds familiar it's because Endgame is where the comic originated. The first chapter of TOHS was "Sins of the Father" one of the original chapters from the original version of the Only Half Saga. The book will cover much more ground, including how he and Garrett came to be enemies, how he first met Miranda and lots lots more.

With my schedule lately, I have worried about whether my lofty goals for publishing this year will come to be, but I'm certainly going to give it a go!!

In the Beginning is now edited, polished and awaiting final review by both Createspace and KDP! Kindle preorders are available! $3.99 gets you the entire 484 page book!

The book goes live August First!

To help promote the book "Forgotten Ties" will be available for Kindle download for a measly $0.99 (0.99 pounds for UK ) from July 25th to August 1st!

That's two for the the price of one practically!

Reserve/download your copies!

Vacation has been a bit to vacationy....

LOL... what I mean by that is I've been having so much fun I
A) first forgot there are 31 days in July.... and
B) JUST approved the file for In the Beginnings print version. SOOOOO... print version will be out a bit later than expected on other channels.
However, it is available on Createspace NOW if you want your print order shipped ASAP. https://www.createspace.com/5580140

Kindle version went live last night and those who preordered it will be able to download it at any time. If you didn't preorder it, you can still find it on Amazon for $3.99

ENJOY!

"Holy Huge Spike, Batman!"

I occasionally take a look at my analytics to see what kind of changes, if any have occurred to my comics... imagine my surprise when I opened up my program this morning to find TOHS get a huge jolt of readership Thursday and Friday!



These hits originated from Dream*Scar because Chano's awesome and included Miranda and Cabal in her comeback page! THANK YOU CHANO!!

My order of print copies (In the Beginning) arrived yesterday! Anyone who wants an autographed copy of the story please comment here or let me know via private message!

The books will be $12 plus shipping and handling to your location. (Full disclosure: Handling is cost of shipping envelopes)

Heh... always in October it seems! LOL!

So here's the skinny... been busy keeping up with my classroom. That means I'm focusing on my students work, emails and the like during the week. Weekends, while MEANT for me to get my comic pages done, have been taken up with family time - can't fault me right?

Between the two, my buffer has gone bye bye, and I'm truthfully tired of rushing pages to meet my own deadlines. Sooo... I am going to purposely take a few weeks off from updating.

This will allow me to:

-Focus on my TOHS: Endgame book and get it knocked out and published. (including a cover I have to paint for it still X( )
-Allow me to rebuild a small buffer of pages for both comics
-Give me a slight sanity check. LOL!

SOOO

I am going to go on Hiatus for the month of October. I will resume updates on my comic pages on November 9th with Plague and TOHS resuming on their respective days.

I will be posting Fan Art and concept pieces to fill in the days and give you all something lovely to look at.

I do apologize, but I am starting to feel a bit too stretched thin.

SITE REDESIGN!

Yup... Plague got a facelift, inspired by the new logo Tiana of Stargazer's Gate created for me! The logo looked awesome, but didn't go with the color scheme of the old site. So I spent about half an hour working small cosmetic changes to make that new logo POP!

Check it out! Gemutations: Plague

I'm so totally late to the party! But after a month and a half of debating it, I decided it was worth a try to try monetizing my efforts with the comics.

So I am jumping on the Patreon Bus! If you like my comics and would like to help me support both my hosting, and making a good reason for the nearly 12 hours I spend a week creating two sets of comic pages, please consider becoming a Patron!

I WAS going to hold off until January first, but I couldn't stand to wait two more days!

Thank you for taking a look!

Did you guys know that Darwin Comics has been ongoing since 2006? April 5th this year will mark the 10th year of Gemutations: Plague and June will mark The Only Half Saga's 10th!

I have some plans in mind for contests to help celebrate by making you all winners for being my loyal readers! I will announce those as we get closer to the events!

For now... you can help me celebrate in a couple of ways a bit early! If you like what you see on either of Darwin Comic's long running titles, you can honor me with some fan arts! They can be for either Plague or TOHS, they can be crossover art if you like both!

The other way you can help me make this a memorable 10th anniversary of the comics is to spread the word to people you know!

Thanks so much for all the support these past ten years, from my roots in Drunk Duck to my current honor of being a member of Spider Forest Comic Collective I couldn't have done it without my fans!

Here's to many more years of webcomicky goodness!

Good evening my fellow Forest Dwellers!

Tonight I come with a special request... This coming October, I am planning on a month long hiatus from webcomicking. From October 1st through the 30th I will be taking a breather.

From experience, I've found that that month in particular is extremely stressful in my job (first quarter grades etc). ADD to that - my weekends are going to be non-existent during that month because of recreational activities that will be happening every weekend, unless a miracle occurs and I am able to accomplish my goal on the first weekend. And weekends is when I usually set aside time for arting.

This is where I ask the favor. I would dearly love it if people would be willing to step up and provide some art for me to fill the four weeks each for TOHS and for Plague!

Fanart - Absolutely!
Fan Comics - I'd love you to death!
Halloween crossovers? You betcha!

My hope is to resume Plague on October 31st and TOHS on November 3rd.

All contributions will be displayed on the day of the update (in the order received) with full credits for the work and a link back to your comic/DA page/ETC.

Help a sista out! The past two years have proved to me that October is Hell Week times four, and this would really allow me to focus on a buffer as well as getting what needs to get done done during that time-frame!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

So I finalized the PDFs and have made Before the Fall live!

This collection of story arcs includes "A Fickle, Fickle World," "Shattered," and "Epiphany." In addition I have included a number of sketches and full color art from the Before the Fall period, both from the comic and from the novel!

Enjoy!

Bumping this thread. I still need some help so I don't recycle art!
