So I ask again, are you in?

It was so nice to see some of you last weekend at the Canadian Comic Expo!

Here's the latest: Julie and I got back to Toronto from our holiday in France and Switzerland a day before a magicians' convention and two days before Canadian Expo. No rest for the wicked. With a bit of jet lag and lots of enthusiasm we dived in...

We sold 9 books this year at the comic book Expo this past weekend in Toronto. Not bad since we sold 11 last year. It was a better show somehow this year and we managed to connect with some more artists willing to participate in this project.

By the way: I'm still waiting to hear back from some of you. Please let me know either way so that we can sort out how many more pages are available before we close our request for submissions. So far 44 artists are confirmed participants. Of the 44 participants, 5 artists have delivered 12 pages. [The latest thank you goes to Andy Lee who presented me with two lovely pages on Sunday.] So the latest page count I have is: 86 pages confirmed while 8 participating artists have not given me potential page counts yet.

Possible sponsorship: At the show I made a connection with a possible sponsor. We will be delving further into this in the coming days. I'm most hopeful about this opportunity. Please keep your fingers crossed.

All in all, a terrific way to see out August. I hope you are well and I wish to thank you for your support and contributions to the project and to my life.

Cheers,
Suley
