My Latest Exciting Update

Been working on Issue Three a lot lately. Now I know you're thinking to yourself: "What? Wait? Hah?" Well, now let me explain. Jesus, calm down.

Currently, you can purchase BROKEN LINES BOOK ONE from this site. That is a small run promotional book which will soon cease to be available. That "book" is comprised of the first two "issues" of the Broken Line series. So in 2008, I will be releasing individual, slightly modified versions of these two issues. So, see, I'm working on the next issue, which won't come out til forever, but I am so slow at making progress on this thing, I'm trying to get a head start.
