New Podcast Installment: Active Voice: Apple Pie, Trump America and Me
When I went to the local Social Security office to get a replacement card but also had my citizenship questioned (and shouldn’t have been.)
Needless to say, with the election news of the past week, I felt it was more important to tell this story but the bullying tale will be done next!
Life got in the way and now I’m back to taking charge! (Hear me roar!)
But seriously: I’ve just launched a new podcast that will let me record anecdotes, reviews/analysis and interviews without getting bogged down in the writing and editing of it all. (So I can save those braincells for my true writing projects.
Here’s the link to my first podcast episode, which is an interview with a long time friend of mine Joseph Amster, who operates Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine (Emperor Norton San Francisco Tours)
Hope you enjoy it as we talk about what it takes to create a history tour, and the affect COVID-19 had on it: Podcast Interview Joseph Amster and Emperor Norton Tours
Hello!
So 2018 has been a little challenging for me in terms of productivity. Things have finally settled that I feel comfortable making the following release dates for my current projects:
This Lesbian’s Guide To Anime And Manga (Volume 1)
Late Sept/Early Oct.
I finally have all of the materials that I want to analyze for this first collection, including some out of print stuff that might hopefully come back in print. Now it’s just a matter of watching/reading stuff and writing the book.
Web Of Lives Collection 2
October 2018
Graphic novel collection containing the next chapters in the “Berserker” and “The Good Child” story arcs! Lots of action and angst ahead!
Berserker: Junior High
January 2019
Prose version of the comic story contained in the “Web Of Lives” series. Same characters but some significant differences in the storyline.
Active Voice The Comic Collection 2
Summer 2019
I’m gathering material and doing support research for stories for the next collection.
(And there are more projects that I don’t yet feel comfortable announcing but definitely more to come!)
Based on my original website, this book will contain reviews and queer analysis from an Asian-American, Lesbian Feminist perspective, now to include thoughts on gender identity and quality of representation. For this book series, I will be commenting on several current and classic works, with updated thoughts. More info and excerpts to come!
At Geek Girl Con, I will be speaking on the panel “Comics As Resistance!” which will be Saturday 9/30 at 7:30p. I plan to talk about Active Voice The Comic Collection, Web Of Lives/Berserker, and make a special announcement of a new project! Looking forward to it!
Posted the latest chapter on Tapas!
Note: Because I had challenges with posting and updating the comic pages on my website, for the time being, new “Berserker” chapters will only be posted on Tapas.
You can order it on Amazon or on my store page.
It should also be available on Amazon EU shortly so search the site and see if it comes up.
I will be submitting the content for issue 2 to Comixology as well as the graphic novel version (as there are some edits to issue 1 pages) and will announce more on that shortly!
Decided to try this webcomic site: Tapas (formerly known as Tapastic.)
Yep, trying to get back on track production-wise: A few months have passed since the end of Part 1 (Chapter 9) as we catch up with everyone. A new character is introduced that will cause some friction, to say the least.
Wow, I didn’t realize it’s been almost a year since the last chapter. Guess that’s what happens when I tried to squeeze in a huge “side” project. But there shouldn’t be another huge delay as I have the art pages for chapters 10 and 11 on my laptop, and chapter 12 is in the works.
In meantime, chapter 9 features a little more about trans girl Celia’s background and planting the seeds for a storyline featuring an asexual character.
Enjoy: Berkserker Chapter 9/
