4 months ago – Fri, Jul 19, 2024 at 02:19:54 PM

Hi all, 

Quick reminder that our graphic novel TUNIS TO SYDNEY is available for preorder. It will be published this month by Fairsquare Graphics. 

My wife Meriam & I wrote the story, with Sam Rapley drawing the wonderful art and cover. Big thank you also to James B Emmett for the early editing support and Cardinal Rae for her lettering work.

Retailers holding a Diamond Comics account can order through PREVIEWSworld with code APR241509. Other retailers can order the book with ISBN 978-1-960171-13-9.

Everyone else can preorder the book online wherever books are sold, or call your local bookstore or comic shop and ask them to preorder a copy for you. And just because a shop may be selling them online, it doesn't mean they will have physical copies in their shop. So make sure you preorder if you'd like a copy!  

You can buy the book directly from our publisher, Fairsquare Graphics in the U.S, and they have already been listed on global sites such as Amazon, or in the U.S at  Kinokuniya, Target, Barnes & Noble, McNally Jacksons, Shakespeare and Co or comic shops like Midtown Comics, Golden Apple, Third Eye Comics. 

In Australia you can preorder at places like Dymocks, while in the U.K they can be ordered at shops such as Forbidden Planet and Waterstones. Or in France at Shakespeares & Co, or at Galignani. 

Finally, in The Netherlands, where Meriam and I spent well over a decade, you can preorder at The American Book Center, Waterstones, and De Vries Van Stokum. 

Finally, we can also finally share some of Sam's wonderful sequential art. 

And we do genuinely want to thank all our friends  who have supported us while we developed the book. We are so happy with how it turned out and absolutely cannot wait to get it into the world!

Check out Erica Schultz's 'The Deadliest Bouquet' Kickstarter!

Hi guys, 

Quick message just to give you a heads up that my editor and friend Erica Schultz is running a Kickstarter campaign for her series "The Deadliest Bouquet."

I've read the first issue and it's an absolute beauty. Well worth your hard earned cash. 

Check it out here: 

THE DEADLIEST BOUQUET  

"THE DEADLIEST BOUQUET is a new 120 page full-color original graphic novel written by Ringo Award nominated writer Erica Schultz (Daredevil), interior artist Carola Borelli (Destiny, NY), colorist Gab Contreras (TRVE KVLT), and editor James Emmett (I Am Hexed) with a fabulous cover by Kevin Wada (Scarlet Witch).

In 1998, three estranged sisters trained by their Nazi-hunting mother come together to solve their mom's murder…and try not to kill each other in the process. Rose, Poppy, and Violet Hawthorn had an unusual upbringing. Their mother, Jasmine, was the daughter of Nazi hunters and indoctrinated into La Résistance after WW2. After moving to the United States, Jasmine settled down and had three daughters, but her hard-lived past caught up with her.

The Deadliest Bouquet explores the relationships these sisters have with each other and their complicated bond with their mother. Can Rose, Poppy, and Violet put their resentment aside to find Jasmine's killer? This is a family of secrets…and they're all about to be laid bare."

All rewards have been shipped!

Quick update to let you guys know that the books have arrived and have already been shipped!  They are bloody beautiful and I can't wait to get them into your hands!

The comics have been packed in cardboard mailers, but although they are well protected, I'm always nervous about what may happen in the post...  Please contact me asap if any of them are damaged in the post. I'm assuming shipping will take longer than usual during the pandemic as well. 

Although our deadline expected shipping date was March, everything went incredibly smoothly so we're way ahead of schedule.

Backerkit has already distributed the digital rewards, but please let me know if you haven't received the Backerkit email with your digital rewards. 

Thanks again for supporting us!!!!!
