I'm running a crowdfunding campaign at the moment for a comic called Shadow's Daughter, on the back of a novel of the same name.

It's an interesting process, translating a novel into a comic book series and watching characters come to life in visial form.

It's also fun seeing readers engage with the story and characters in different ways. Comic readers tend to be drawn by the visuals initially ("the first bite is with the eye" as they say), and then dig into the story from there.

It's a half step between novels and television/film in some sense, allowing me to explore different angles and modes of storytelling.



The crowdfunding aspect of this enterprise is something akin to setting up a stall at comicon. You get to flout your wares, meet prospective readers and really put your best foot forward.

I'm loving the interaction with readers and fans and the pagentry of the whole thing.

Shadow's Daughter the novel will be coming out some time this year, but in the meantime, I'm excited to keep exploring the comic side of the story.
