A month? Has it seriously been a month since we last met? That is very remiss of me, and I don't even have an excuse. Well, not one you'd believe, anyway.
So what's been happening? We're close to finishing the design on both the Arbory School book and the first issue of the Vertigo anthology. There's another week or so of work to do, but we're close. I can almost smell the print.
There have been a few things happening behind the scenes these last few weeks - three cool snippets of news, in fact, but I'll just tell you the first for now. Always keep something in reserve, Quirky, that's what my old cross-country coach used to tell me. (And I did. It was a bag of cakes. And very nice they were too)
The first news is that author Chris Ewan has kindly agreed to pen a foreword for Vertigo. Chris is the creator of Charlie Howard, the cool novelist/thief/reluctant hero of The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam and its sequel, The Good Thief's Guide to Paris. If you've not experienced Charlie Howard yet, give them a shot - they're fast, entertaining capers, with some deliciously dark and violent moments.
With the first issue of Vertigo almost in the bag, attention is turning to the second issue, and we'll be opening the floodgates for submissions soon. Watch this space.
For now, it's on with the design. Stay tuned for cool news part two and three...
