Preparing for KickStarter Fulfillment and Genghis Con

For the next week and a half, I am preparing for KickStarter fulfillment AND Genghis Con Cleveland.

KICKSTARTER FULFILLMENT

Backer surveys didn’t go out on Monday because I took some time off (and started a new job yesterday).

Instead, they are sending out before the end of today. So keep an eye on your inboxes.

In other updates:

  • the files for the book have been sent off to the printer. I’m waiting on the proof to come back.
  • I will tally up the orders by the end of today to determine how many zines, mini-prints etc need printed.
  • the webcomic site for The Legend of Jamie Roberts is going dormant for a couple of weeks. Regular updates will resume Dec 3 – when we start posting the Basho and Norsa short comic we unlocked!

Full disclosure: I will open up for commissions for the holiday season. But KickStarter backers get top priority/billing since you claimed the spots first.

I should have new updates for you within the next week. Stay tuned! (And if you need more comics in your inbox, sign up for my email newsletter if you’re not on there already.)

GENGHIS CON CLEVELAND

November 30, find me at Genghis Con Cleveland!

Just like last year, this year’s event is at the Pivot Center for the Arts. The show runs from 11 am to 5 pm, featuring tons of indie comics (not just my own). Plus there are a handful of panels happening!

small press/independent comic con Genghis Con, with zines! Comics! Art! And it's FREE to attend! Thus declare crows wearing party hats with their wings on fire. Genghis Con is Sunday, November 30th 2025, 11 am to 5 pm, at the Pivot Center for Art, Dance, and Expression

This year I want to be sure I bring extra copies of my books, because last year I sold out of some titles before the end of the day. It’s a good problem to have! But I want to be sure I have plenty for the new readers to get their hands on.

Full disclosure: The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3 will NOT be ready in time for Genghis Con Cleveland. Sorry, Cleveland peeps. But if you’re interested in getting a copy, let me know.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you for reading.

You. Are. Awesome.

LAST DAY to Support The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 3 on KickStarter!

A young genderqueer person with blonde hair and glasses sits on the edge of a mesa. Two young men stand behind them, one with dark brown hair and the other with light blonde hair. All three wear a light green cape and are gazing out over the horizon. In the distance is a long, winding path leading to a mesa and a castle town sitting on top of it.

Today is the LAST DAY you can back The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3 on KickStarter! This swashbuckling genderqueer adventure is about to sail over the digital horizon, so this is your last chance.

A lot has happened since we launched this campaign a month ago.

  • We’ve raised over $1400 for volume 3!
  • We’ve unlocked the first stretch goal, and are very close to unlocking the next one.
  • Volume 1 is under threat of being banned! (More on that in this post.)
Three comic panels sit wide, showing off desert landscapes as the characters traverse. Panel 1 shows early morning, panel 2 shows afternoon, and panel 3 shows evening. In panel 2, two young men sing, “I’ve been a while rover for many the year, and I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer…” Two other voice speak over the panel. “Basho?” “Hm?” Panel 3 shows the characters at camp, a young genderqueer person with glasses holding a sword and gazing up at the stars. Voiceover narration asks, “There are other spirits besides Mocktaw, right? Because…You remember Pim?”

We’re closing in on the finish line now.

If you have not backed this campaign yet, this is your last chance to do so. You have until 11:59 pm EDT tonight.

While there is a 24-hour grace period for pledges, all the prices go up in the grace window. So today’s the last day to claim rewards at a discounted price.

“But wait,” you might be thinking, “this is for volume 3, right? I haven’t read the comic yet!”

Well good news – volumes 1 and 2 are also available as rewards (in both digital and physical copies)! That’s not to mention the other rewards available, like commissions and even original art.

So, once again, if you haven’t backed this campaign yet, this is your last call to do so.

If you backed this campaign already – thank you so much for your support! (And feel free to forward this email to folks you know who like comics about pirates and dragons and magic treasure! Word of mouth has been my only method of spreading the word about this campaign, so every share helps more than you know).

Thank you for your patience during this month while this campaign ran. We’re just about done.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.
