There’s been plenty going on in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I’d post a general update.
First of all, the fifth and final issue of The Damned: Three Days Dead was released today. It doesn’t matter how many times Eddie has cheated death; there’s always another triggerman trying to make the deal permanent. Will Eddie finally be able to piece together who’s trying to keep the families warring, or will he finally break his curse and sleep the deep sleep of the damned?
But don’t worry, I’ll have plenty to keep me busy even though the story arc is done. In fact, flip to the end of issue 5 (but watch out for spoilers!) to get an idea of what Brian and I are working on right now.
In other news, I’ve recently started work on the second book in the Crooked Hills series. Crooked Hills is a young adult horror novel that’s near and dear to my heart. I’m actively shopping it, and I’m confident it’ll be picked up sooner or later. In addition, I’ve started an unrelated young adult novel tenatively titled The Autumn Kingdom.
At the end of the month, I’ll be attending the World Horror Convention in Toronto. I was slated to judge the “official” gross-out contest. But when the official event was cancelled and an underground version rose up in its place, I was asked to enter the contest again. I’m not sure if I have another winning entry in me, but I’ll give it the old college (or is it grade school) try!
I know I haven’t posted a rapid-fire movie review in a while, but–believe me!–I’m still watching movies. I’ve got a few new reviews, as well as comic and book reviews, to post soon.
In the most important news of all, Cindy and I filed our finalized dossier to adopt a child. Our paperwork is on the way to China, and we’ve got a looooong time to wait yet, but I can’t even begin to explain the mish-mash of hope, nerves, and impatience I’m feeling. I’ll try to put it to words in the coming weeks. For now, I just want to thank all the people who’ve offered support and love over the past several months.
