The Keeper’s Warrior Cover

The Keeper’s Warrior Cover

Keeper and Warrior discuss the practicalities of a wooden amulet they have made. It maybe small, but where Warrior is going, it might mean the difference between wining and loosing.

Woot – and now the cover’s done for “the Keeper’s Warrior”. Just need to do a last bit of proofing, and get the cover and interior layout finalized and off to the presses it goes.

Prints: Available on DA COMING SOON ~ Available on Zazzle

Second issue should be available in two months, if all goes well.

The Keeper’s Warrior getting close to final

I just put the finishing touches on illo #8 of 9. Woot! One more to go, then the cover. After that a final proofing and off to the printer it goes. So close… so close….

Still looking for ideas for grass roots marketing/advertizing for the book. If you have any ideas, drop them in the comments. ^.^

ePubs and Bank Accounts

So this week business wise, we’ve gotten a lot accomplished. We now officially have our business back account. And I’ve started our new accounting books. Last thing we need in the resale license from the BoE. That’s my job today.

Tuesday however, was a complete right-off. Spent all day trying to figure out how to get ePub written to display images (i.e. comics) correctly only to wind up in utter fail. When it comes to images, my opinion of the ePub format is still that it is a bag of dolphins. I still think the best solution is to pay someone like Grahpicly to format and distribute them. But it will be a long time before we can afford such things.

Bah – enough with fiddling with ePubs. Time to get to work on other things … like the next illo for ‘The Keeper’s Warrior”.
