Please
don’t kill me. I’ve been working on it, honest.
Well,
no, actually, I haven’t been working
on “Ghost Dance.” I’ve been working on Volume 2, which is more important but
less urgent for reasons I’ll explain.
Good
news first—“Ghost Dance” will hit the web by Saturday, July 14, during Comic-Con. (I’m going on Sunday this
year.) You guys will finally get to meet the Black Mask and Eagle Eye and thrill to one of their
stranger adventures just after the end of World War II. Can I get an excited
squee, please?
Less-good
news—Volume 2 is running behind schedule, and will be delayed until September.
Sorry, guys. It’s turning out a bit more complex than I expected, and life is
interfering. More bloggage on that later.
Good
news again—I have bookmarks! Two kinds! Here is the artwork for both of
them—one featuring Rae and one featuring Trevor. And heeeeeeeere is the text
that goes on the back of them, to whet your appetite for Volume 2:
On
the Rae bookmark:
There are capes—heroes with
powers. There are masks—wannabes with a few tricks. Everyone knows who
the real heroes are.
Until now.
Rae Masterson, a.k.a. Merlin, doesn’t let
her lack of powers stop her from fighting the good fight. At 17, she’s already
saved her city, built a superhero team, and fallen in love with her
crimefighting partner, Peregrine. But everyone knows masks live fast, die
young, and leave anonymous corpses. Rae’s time is running out.
When Peregrine’s bloody past comes back
to haunt him and a long-dead hero suddenly returns to life, Rae must choose
between love and survival. To save the world, she must confront her own death.
To save Peregrine, she must make a deal with the devil. Can she do it?
And if she does, who will save her?
On
the Trevor bookmark:
There are capes—heroes with
powers. There are masks—wannabes with a few tricks. Everyone knows who
the real heroes are.
Until now.
Trevor Gray, a.k.a. Peregrine, was born
to be a hero. Raised as a sidekick, he took up the colors of his missing mentor
and now fights on in his name. At 17, he’s built a team of young heroes and
fallen in love with his masked partner, Merlin. But death is never far from any
mask, and now it’s paid Trevor a visit.
When a last message from his teacher
upends his life and a long-lost hero returns from the dead, Trevor must choose
between duty and love. To save the world, he must confront his demons. To save
Merlin, he must break her heart. Can he do it?
And if he does, who will save him?
Are
you excited? I am!
Further
good news—I have the most adorable Pocket Coyote buttons known to man. Here’s a
photo:
And
finally, less-good news—I am not totally sure there’s going to be a blog entry
next Monday, because my schedule for next week is absolutely psychotic. I will probably
be spending a lot of time on the road for work-related stuff—teaching classes
in another city, having meetings, etc. If I can blog from God-knows-where, I
will. If I can’t, I won’t. It might not be on Monday, either, because I expect
to be completely exhausted from Comic-Con. I will try to get con photos up on
this blog and on Pocket Coyote sometime next week for everyone to enjoy, but I
won’t be seeing much of my house and you may hear zombie-like groans coming
from the depths of the internet. Bear with me, guys.
And
while you’re at it, be sure to keep submitting names for our contest to name the coyote!
