About a month ago, Geoffrey Gatza from BlazeVOX Books contacted me to let me know that he had accepted my book The Complete Collection of people, places & things for publication. I was very excited, but I waited a while to post this until the process was well underway. Now, the innards are all laid out, the art work is rescanned and cleaned up, and I’m currently drawing a cover. It’s an image-text novel, several sections of which have been previously published (some on the internet).  It should be available this summer.

There are so many BlazeVOX books and writers that I admire, so I’m really honored to be a part of what they’re doing. Geoffrey really seems to get what independent publishing and what literature should be about.  He creates books that respect the authors’ intentions and that are easily available to readers (and will remain so as long as he can make that happen – and perhaps beyond).

I’ve got some plans for the book, included some handmade gifts for those who pre-order.  But more on that later.

I’ll let The Crash Helmet do the talking for now:
