Haven  Distro - which used to be cold cuts distribution is working with Enemi Entertainment. Enemi (with an i, folks) is providing an excellent print catalog for all retailers world wide - if they want it - and orders can be made on line, too.

I'm in excellent company with Donna Barr and Mark Evanier, having my comic book series, Heroes In Birmingham, distributed. This has been in the works since September of 2007, when the Enemi guys told me about their idea of batch print-on-demand for retailers, and I said - I'm in!  (I have learned that you don't need to have them print you to be carried, but I'm not sure how that works.... but you can ask them.)

Issue 1 and 2 are available for pre-order as late as the extended date of December 15 2008 for a January 15th 2009 Shipping date.

Please note that I will be an attending professional creator guest at the New York Comic-Con in February of 2009

... and I have been nomiated for two CAG (Comicbook Artists Guild) awards - which will be awarded on the Friday of this convention (February 6, 2009) at a panel/seminar time to be announced soon!

I was very enthusiastic... lots of info about CAG and a bit about me.

I will be at the Friends Of Lulu table at I-Con on Saturday from 12pm to 2pm and on a panel in the SAC building at 5pm called "the women of comics."

The CAG panel at NY-Comic Con is Friday at 3pm. I’ll be in the audience. I’m sharing the CAG table in the small-press area and the hours that I’ll be at the table will be posted. You can also see me and get my comic books at the CAG table at the Indy After Party on Saturday at the Twin’s Pub.

I’m still working on either getting a co-producer with good contacts or a financier on board for my film project, "The Last Bar," but  some talent has given me letters of interest, directors have been contacted (or have contacted me), and some "A-minus" female actresses have the script and are waiting for the budget to come in to see if the project fits in their schedule (the male characters have bigger roles in this one).
