The Enemy's Son - Bristol and Beyond

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 2:58 PM
Hello fellow deviants,

Just to let you know my first novel, The Enemy's Son is out now in paperback. If any of you are interested in a copy priced £6.99 let me know. The site will be updated soon with a paypal link but if you can't wait an wish to send a cheque I will email you further details.

The Enemy's Son was launched this weekend in Bristol and sold more than a fair few copies. I haven't really had chance to take it al in yet - the book was delivered hot from the printers 10.45am on friday and my publisher had to leave at 12. I have never suffered from so much anxiety and apprehension in my life. Erth is my baby, I've watched this world and it's characters grow for what seems like an eternity - but it's all been worth it.

I can assure you the final result looks as professional as anything you'd see on the shelf. Oh, and yes - now I've finally found the time to do so - it even smells like a real book!

The Bristol Comicon Expo overall was an incredible experience. In terms of networking as a professional I cannot recommend it enough. I had the opportunity of meeting and chatting over dinner with both people I have admired or at the very least familiar with their work. You are treated as an equal and everyone seems to have a genuine interest in what you do. I have a fair few tales - but to be honest, despite some of the high profile artists I met, I was genuinely more pleased to meet fellow Erth Walkers and Deviants for the first time. One of which, Charlie [link] I had the opportunity of introducing to the Top Cow Editor, who was equally impressed with her exceptional talent. Watch this space.

Here's to next year or at least the next event.

Ah, God! what trances of torments does that man endure who is consumed with one unachieved revengeful desire. He sleeps with clenched hands; and wakes with his own bloody nails in his palms.

For some of your talent, you sure have some low page views and comments. I know because I'm the same way, but I started back in 2002! - But then again I wasn't active for a years and I rarely visit forums or chats. :)

Keep up the great work mate, I will watch you because I dig your stuff.

Hey there... I got a response to my work from you some months ago at my former page and was unable to respond at the time. I'm still trying to rebuild my destroyed portfolio since hurricane Katrina so I apologize for letting the time pass. I've moved all across the US since then for more work and have finally become stable. I would love more information about your project as I am very interested. Please tell me how I can help!

Peace!!

~Noxious1:iconNoxious1: Dec 17, 2007, 4:22:07 PM
I would absolutely love to!
Prior to that message I took a look at the website for Erth Chronicles and I love it!
You've got some talented people working with you.
I have been quite busy as of late because I just signed onto my first comic book! (huzzah for me!).
I would certainly love to contribute to this world you've created. If you sent me the package I could work on it whenever I had time but I cannot promise my full devotion.
~Noxious1:iconNoxious1: Dec 17, 2007, 6:03:44 AM
I love your artwork!
And to be in ImagineFX?!
Incredible!
