Another story I had involved legend characters from the tall tales setting, or something close. It’d be one of the few times I’d include a modern setting, as nothing bores me more than every day locations with every day humans. But! It would begin and center around the daughter of a dairy farmer who’d practice witchcraft in private. At some point she’d learn how to summon certain spirits, or she’d stumbled upon a relic relating to western folklore, and call up Johnny Appleseed himself. Well, I haven’t decided if it would be actually him, or some embodiment of his ideals. In any case, usually only druids would summon him to help regrow a recently charred forest, but the witch has other plans.
Johnny would be a kinda’ aw-shucks/Fixit Felix character, and politely try to unsummon himself, but this witch’s relic keeps him around, and allows her to switch on a chaotic state in which he cannot deny her commands. The two of them wreak havoc in some manner, likely in the name of justice, and then we’d introduce the protagonist(s), which I’m not sure of yet. I wanted to bring in some representation of Annie Oakley and/or Pecos Bill, and respective witches and warlocks that summon them willingly.
I have a vague image of Johnny’s witch in my head, and I’ll scribble her up at some point.

Author of READ BETWEEN THE LINES Rachel Lacey‘s STARS COLLIDE, a sapphic rockstar romance featuring a grumpy sunshine pairing of two female pop stars, one the reigning Queen of Pop who is exhausted and lonely after years of performing, and a new to the scene rising star—after the two are paired together for a one-off performance, it sparks something much much more, again…
Hello lovelies! Surprise, I’m still alive! I know I have literally been the actual worst with posting and shit, and I feel like I’ve said this so many times that y’all are probably sick of hearing it. Truth be told, I may have gotten a teeny tiny bit lazy and just haven’t been writing for the blog as much as I need to. It’s more of just personal writing right now but the good news is, is that I have almost completed Part 2 of Best Friends!!! I’m going to really really REALLY try to have it up BY FRIDAY!!! Saturday at the latest.
Thank you to all of the supporters who have been so so so patient with my pathetic lazy ass. I truly appreciate it! <3
On another note, after I finish with P2 of Best Friends, I literally have NO IDEA what to write next. If any of y’all want to send in concepts, requests, anything, PLEASE do! I would be very thankful for the help!
I was also thinking about expanding on who I write for. What do you guys think?? I have some people who I have been particularly loving lately but tell me what y’all think. (It wouldn’t be in the DC or Marvel universe)
So yeah, I think that that’s about all for now! Again, sorry for being so inactive and lame. I’m really going to try to get my shit together! Oh and OMG I can’t believe that I’m about to hit 300 followers!! I can’t believe that I have so many people who read my work and want to stick around. A big thanks to all of you for the amazing support❤️! I appreciate all of you guys so much!!
Ok I’m done now! Love you guys! <3

Update on Frontier 2017!
As readers have noticed, we haven’t yet launched a Frontier 2017 subscription. The series will continue next year… but we are taking a short hiatus for exciting “life reasons.”
Jane and I are expecting our first child! :-0 She will be arriving in January, and we’re both lucky enough to be able to take parental leave from our day jobs. So we can focus all our energy on her, Frontier will be taking a quarter off. I’m planning for three issues in 2017 instead of our usual four (Frontier #15-17). We are already talking to artists that will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!
In practical terms, we’re planning to announce & launch a subscription offer in March, and planning to have issues debut in May, Sept, and Dec.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN 2017!! Having a child on the way is a great lesson in humility (and the hubris of having a PLAN) so I am keeping it loose. At its core, we are a small indie press run by a couple, and day to day, everything you see is the work of me, Jane, and our amazing friends. We truly appreciate your continuing support of our artists and their amazing books!
PS: Just to be clear, the press & store will continue to run and ship out orders! We’re just taking a break on publishing new books for a few months ♥

The Comics Alternative podcast (aka “2 Guys With PhDs”) spent time in their latest episode discussing Frontier as a series, as well as an in-depth analysis of Frontier #12: Kelly Kwang. In this discussion, they did one of the most spot-on dissections of the things I find so amazing and exciting about Kelly’s issue.
Afterward, the 2 Guys also discuss Frontier #6: Emily Carroll and the effectiveness of her gothic folktale. Discussion of Frontier begins around the 1hr 5min mark!
