As most of you know I was running a Kickstarter for my book The Taming Of April. However, my Kickstarter failed.
For the past few weeks, I’m been a little depressed and feeling down. I felt like a failure. As of today, I’m done feeling that way. It’s time to move forward.
My first comic con of 2023 is Fan Expo Cleveland in March of 2023 so as of right now, my new publishing date for The Taming Of April is March of 2023.
Finally, the Taming Of April will have over 60 chapters. If you want to read the first 3 chapters click –HERE.
After school, on a cool crisp fall day, Tercona is needed to save people from a house fire that just happens to be the home of Britney’s uncle. She must act fast to save everyone trapped inside because the structure is falling apart. Tercona finds Britney’s 10-year-old cousin Teodora and brings her to safety but when she returns to the burning building to save Teodora’s father, the unthinkable happens. The house explodes! Tercona learns that even superheroes can’t save everyone.
There are still a few minor changes to be made to this comic (making sure everything is spelled right for one. lol) Along with some minor color changes and a few more things too but…I wanted to let you guys know that Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone will be ready by 2023!
My Kickstarter for The Taming Of April has FAILED!
Ok…truth be told, with only 6 days left I canceled it. I canceled it because I only had $350 (which is only about a 1/4 of the way to my goal.) and I knew that I would never in a million years be able to get the rest of the funding ($650) in only 6 days!
For the record, the book was going to be published in June of this year but I listened to everyone’s advice and put the book on the Kickstarter instead to make the backers feel special that they go it first. But now that the Kickstarter has failed, I’m kicking myself for not having copies of the book to sell at comic cons this year.
My plan now is to publish this book in March of 2023 and make it available for the first time at my first comic con in 2023, Fan Expo Cleveland.
Thank you to everyone who funded the Kickstarter and helped me out. Even though it failed, I really appreciate what you did. Thanks!
My last comic con in 2022 was The Cincinnati Comic Expo this past weekend!
I went to this comic con in 2021 and it was fantastic. I couldn’t wait to go back and it did NOT disappoint!
The crowd was so busy on Saturday that I hardly got a chance to talk to anyone because they just kept walking by. It was kind of like the “herd” mentality.
Even though I did sell a lot of comics I didn’t make a profit because my hotel cost was high. I assume the more books I have on my table the more people will have to choose from and the better chances I’ll have at making MORE money by selling more books.
Nonetheless, this is one my my favorite comic cons of the year because I always do well. I can’t wait to go back next year to The Cincinnati Comic Expo.
Join me at the Monroe Pop Fest Fri. & Sat. Sept. 16 & 17. I’ll have all 6 comics with me and the first 3 original books as well. Plus I’ll be part of the panel – Indapended Comic Creators Circle at 4:15 on Saturday. It all starts on Friday at 5 pm!
And the very next weekend I’ll be at The Cincinnati Comic Expo.
I’ll be at the Cincinnati Comic Expo on Friday, Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 23, 24 & 25. Come by my booth and let’s talk about superheroes, comics, cartoons, and of course…Tercona.
It’s going to be a busy few weeks. I hope to see you soon!
