I hope to see YOu at The Cincinnati Comic Expo!

My Kickstarter is officially done!

For those of you who backed my Kickstarter back in April/May – the packages have been shipped! You should receive them in about a week or less. The digital PDF copies have been sent out too. Thank you once again for supporting my Kickstarter.

This was my first successful Kickstarter. It was a lot of work getting people to follow it, going on different podcasts to get the word out, making memes, and making sure everyone was in the loop with up-to-date information once it was over.

Once I have the script written and my artist Ujval draws comic #8 I’ll do it again in 2024.

If you missed out on the Kickstarter you can come see me at The Gem City Comic Con July 22 & 23 and get comics #1 – #7! Don’t forget you can also get my romantic comedy novel The Taming Of April too.

Signed or NOT signed?

Look what I go in the mail the other day!

So as you can see, I have all the printed comics in my house and I’m in the process of getting them ready to mail out soon. 

I’m spending most of my 4th of July holiday getting packages ready to mail out.

I sent out messages to the backers who bought a physical copy and asked them if they wanted their comics signed or not sighed. Most people like to have a comic signed, but I have had a few people in the past NOT want it signed because they believe it brings the value down.  Some of these backers have gotten back to me while others have not…yet. Now, I’m just waiting to hear back from the rest of them.

This is one of the biggest reasons I made the delivery date of my comics (for the Kickstarter) as far ahead as October! Small delays can pop up. My Kickstarter ended in May but I gave myself 5 months to make sure I had everything. 

With any luck, I’ll have all the packages sent out sometime in August or sooner.

I’m working on getting the comics ready!

I wanted to give you guys an update…

Now that Kickstarter is done with their part the rest is up to me.

Most of my backers from my Kickstarter have gotten back to me with emails and addresses but not all of them. I’m currently working hard on getting the comics ready.

First, the digital ones should be easy. After that, I’ll place the order for the physical copies and when I receive them I’ll send them out.

I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you!

Here it is Monday morning and I am overjoyed.  

I woke up to see my Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone – was OVER 100% funded and it was a success. This means I now have my FIRST successful Kickstarter! 

Today I celebrate that I have my FIRST successful Kickstarter.

You heard me right, my first successful Kickstarter. Some of you might not know this but I tried Kickstarter with 2 other books in 2020 and in 2022 and they failed. With this campaign being a success it has given me hope for the future. 

This Kickstarter looked better, it had a smaller goal and I’m sure backing a few Kickstarters and helping other people on Kickstarter made a big difference too. 

Now since this is my FIRST successful Kickstarter I have to do a few things next. 

But before I get to all that other stuff I wanted to say…thank you!

Expect to hear from me again soon about the comic.  Again…I can’t thank you enough.

100 % fully funded!

My Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone is 100 % fully funded!

On one end, I’m very grateful that it’s finally fully funded but on the other end, I’m not going to get too overly excited just yet….here’s why!

I only have a few days left. My funding goal is $500. Right now I have just a little bit over that. ($533)

My worse fear is that someone pulls their funding at the last minute, right before it ends on May 14th, Mother’s Day, and BOOM…I’m no longer fully funded. 

So right now I’m putting all my efforts into hitting the first stretch goal at $1000. I know I only have a few days left but I’ve come this far and if I can get it 100% fully funded in the last few days it’s possible to hit the first stretch goal before it ends.

The Kickstarter is ending soon. (less than 5 days left!)

My Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 has less than 5 days left!

Less than 5 days to go and it’s still not fully funded yet. If you want to fund my Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 click on the picture.

I have to admit, I’m a little worried I won’t reach my funding goal of $500 but I’m not going to give up yet. I’m going to take this all the way until it’s over. My Kickstarter ends on Mother’s Day May 14th.

Happy Birthday Maya & a Kickstarter update!

Happy Birthday to Maya Rose in the Tercona comics. Her birthday is May 1st. She’s the hippie, vegetarian girl who loves to meditate. See what powers she has in comics #4 & #6.

There are only 2 weeks left in the Kickstarter for comic #7.

In the past 2 weeks, my Kickstarter has NOT been a “Projects We Love” but I’m hoping it reaches this before it ends.

My Kickstarter – After 2 weeks!

Here is an update on my Kickstarter after 2 weeks.

I got my first 10 backers! As of today, I have 11 backers now however I still haven’t reached the 1/2 way point to my funding target. My goal is $500, so far I only have around $200.

If you want to back my Kickstarter click on the picture.

After two weeks into my Kickstarter, I was hoping to be fully funded by now but I’m not and that’s okay. I know it’s a lot more challenging to get an all-ages comic fully funded on Kickstarter so I want to take a moment and say, thanks.

Thank you for supporting my Kickstarter so far!
