Red Letter Day

Today the first ever Cooking Comically cookbook is officially out in stores. It’s the first thing I’ve ever published. To me it’s extra special because not only did I manage to create an entire book… I managed to create an entire book that I’m really proud of. The timeline to put it all together was about 6 months. Over that period of time, working on something so hard and so closely I found that it became impossible to judge whether anything in it was really going to work. I worried about it constantly throughout the revision process. But, a few weeks ago when I had the finished book in my hands and had a chance to read through a physical copy… I was really satisfied with how it turned out. It looked better than I expected and read the way I’d hoped it would. Whether I succeeded or not isn’t really for me to decide, though. That’s up to you and everyone else that picks it up and reads it.

And I really hope you guys enjoy it. If you do, do me a favor and tell people about it. I‘d love to make another book and this one needs to do well for that to happen. Put the word out, if you’d be so kind.

In other news The Raffle of Win ended today with 540 entrants. Holy crap, you guys. I can’t believe so many of you went through the trouble to send me proofs of purchase. That’s a good bit more than I expected and a lot of emails to reply to. Said reply emails with the whereabouts of the pre-order poster (which turned out awesome, if I do say so myself) are going out now and I should have them all delivered in the next few days.  I’ll announce the winners of the raffle from NY during Comic Con weekend (Oct 10-13).

Speaking of which if you look to your right, you’ll see my NY Comic Con info.  If you’re headed there, drop by and say hello.  I’ll have new t-shirts you can’t get anywhere else yet, aprons, books, free stickers etc. Looking forward to meeting some of you!

This year has had it’s ups and downs, but it has truly been one of the best of my life. Thank you all for making that possible.
