Well we finished out with a blast. Beyond 2 advances arrived. Beyond 1 is bolder & even more beautiful in my collection, and Elements: Fire looks great sandwiched between them both. To see the Beyond Press logo now on two books is its own special treat.

So what next... We're 3 days into 2018 and my calendar is already filling up. Emerald City Comic Con, moving, new job, new projects, ELEMENTS: Earth, and a few announcements.

For me 2017 wasn't a bad year. I fought more than usual for my rights to breathe, but I didn't get hung up, and I continued onward. Now it's time to continue upward. I laid a lot of seeds last years and I would like to see them sprout.

My first scheduled appearance is Emerald City Comic Con at table P-14 with the fabulous Ria Martinez. I've been contacted about a few shows in between, but I'm unsure if they will fit in, but I promise to keep you all posted!

I hope you survived the holidays and you're ready to tackle what comes next!

My comics advice for 2018 is just this:

Create.

You'll get accepted. You'll get rejected. You'll make friends. You'll make frenemies. Pros will keep giving protips. You'll grow and make your own tips. No one has all the right answers, but you have the right idea, so create it.
