Change of Tides

The artwork is indeed finished, and let me tell you - it's pretty dang cool.  Andrew has done an amazing job of bringing Land and Sea to life, and I have done an amazing job of . . . well, staying out of his way, I guess.  :-)

So, remember how in the first post I said that we were not going to "to a large faceless publishing company and wait an unspecified amount of time for any response," and instead go straight into self-publishing?  Well, it turns out that's no longer the case.  Yesterday, after several days worth of research, self-doubt and eventual epiphany, I sent out submission packets to two major publishing companies.  Since Andrew and I are both working on projects other than Land & Sea, we thought it would be prudent to see if we could pawn off the heavy lifting of the publishing game to someone else (like, people whose job it is to do the heavy lifting of publishing - madness, I know!).  Both publishers have a three-month turn-around, and so if at the end of that period of otherwise productive writing and arting, it turns out that neither publisher is interested, Andrew and I will revisit Land & Sea with an eye to getting it off of our hard drives and into your hands, Dear Readers.

But fear not!  In either case, our journey is far from ended.  I will continue to update as new information and happenings . . . happen.  Thank you again for your continued support - our victories will be your victories as well.

Good News, Everyone!

I just received word that Andrew has finished the art for the book!  Here's an exclusive sneak peek:
