New plan

As always plans change and evolve.

I've been wanting to do a more cohesive version of the comicbook. Expand on a few of the pages, redo a few pages and do more direct adaptations of some of the one of skits into comic form. Instead of constantly re-ordering the 1st 2 versions of the book (book 2 is a re-print with a few new pages and mistakes from book 1 fixed) I want to just do 1 master version, with new pages, the old pages in a more linear order and more credits and official press inside. I really want to release a more professional looking comic book in the end, something worthy of having the Boss Lady's name attached to.

I hope to get this done and in print in time for the Fan Expo Boston show in August. I will not do pre-orders, that was stressful. Although I managed to get all those orders out rather smoothly, I was doing it by myself and I was so anxious about getting orders out correctly, also the amount of emails from people wanting their books and thinking I was scamming them, when they didn't look to see I had the books listed as a pre-order and the estimated date on when the books would be going out.

I like to have the product in hand and ready to go, so I don't keep people waiting.

So I will be hammering at new pages for this version, for a nice, thick, juicy comic book lol. Since I am ahead on designs for rewards for this month and next month, it'll give me some time to do this and I appreciate you all for that. Exactly why I have patreon, so I can focus on my various projects.

I hope to have copies for Fan Expo Boston and copies for the shop quickly. So copies I have of book 1.2 will be it. Once they are gone, they will be considered collector's items, same with version 1.0. I know I had said I was going to order re-prints of both, but it doesn't make sense to have 3 versions of the same item (more or less with some differences). I just want 1 master version, available to the public. I hope this makes sense.

So here is the new cover. I do hope you all like it. I am still working on the coloring book idea too, but when I am able to order that will depend on funds after the convention. My trip alone to the show, I will need to make about $2k to break even alone (hotel, gas, travel, food, booth rental ect..) I will be dipping into my top surgery funds for the book (since that is yet again on hold due to some extra tests needing to be run). I haven't talked about it publicly but I have to go through testing for some fun extra lumps, all over again. Been through this before and they always come back cancer free, but I gotta do it again before I can start the process all over again for my surgery, but now I gotta go back to square one on finding a surgeon, since the one I chose this time will no longer be practicing in my area at the start of next year. I wanted to be transparent with you all on that. I will keep everyone updated on the surgery situation, because if/when I can get my surgery, it will effect how much work I can do for at least a month.

So that is the update. I am trying to keep my head up, stay busy, and multitask so I don't have time to stop and think too hard on things lol. I do hope that all of you are doing well, and we all go through it from time to time, and if there is ever any way I can help, like share a gofundme or anything like that, I'll do what I can to help. I appreciate you all and thank you a ton for being here.
