We're back!

Well, I'm back. That is to say, the blog is now off hiatus. What have I been up to? Big surprise...I've been setting up the new household. We did the Big Move last Monday, and have been getting things slowly set up.

Details on the move? You know... I'm going to wait another week before I start writing about that. It seems that's all I've been writing about for the past month, and while it's been fascinating for me and a few folks--I think the vast majority of y'all are getting a little sick of the subject.

So... if you want news on the new house, I may start writing about the experience more next week.



Without going into the details why, I've been super busy the past couple of weeks, but have been getting quite a bit done just the same. The Sondra Lee book, SFWA Bulletin, and 70s Cinema book are all out on proof. The medical journal is at the printer. In process are books about the Dead End Kids (silent move era) and a book on Russia filmmaker Gregorii Aleksandrov.

The San Diego ComicCon is gearing up. Messrs Reilly and Ahlquist are heading out west for the big show, and with them will be the finished copies of Rogue Satellite Comics and The Complete Annotated Oz Sqad. I'd say I wish I could be with them, but to be honest, SDCC seems kind of daunting to me. I can't think of a bigger event with more people. Or a convention that could be more expensive. I know a lot of people who are attending this year, and I don't know how they do it. Well, some are probably financed by their studios and/or publishers--but those going on their own dime are probably going to feel the pinch rather hard. Then there are those poor saps who are doing a circuit. One con after another. Yeesh.

But back to the graphic novels--it's past time to gear up some press releases and proposals for next projects. I'll be tackling a lot of that this week as well as updating the TumbleTap webpage.



Have I mentioned I'm on Twitter now? Yep. With the iPhone came the ability to join the Twitterverse. It's not bad. I'm following a lot of folk that I also follow on facebook, but with more updating. It's almost like I'm stalking them. I also get newsfeeds from the local newspaper and CNN.

Look for me as jdteehan and if you have any suggestions as to who I should be following, please let me know.

I'd be twittering now, but there's work to be done. Time to get back to it!
