Thank You!

May 05

Just wanted to give a shout-out to everybody who participated in our May Day AIRlift! I’m still tallying the receipts and order numbers you sent me, but my guesstimate is that we moved between 100-120 books. Whatever the number turns out to be, that’s the number of dollars I’ll give to the Koru Foundation.

Thanks again!

By the way, anybody who feels a burning need to follow the minute-by-minute account of my life can find me on Twitter @g_willow. That’s all for now.

Still Here, I Swear

January 28

The last few months have been so busy workwise that I can’t stand the sight of my computer by the end of the day. Hence, no blogging. But I’m still here. If any of you New Yorkers feel like braving the costumed crowds at the Javits Center next week, I’ll be lurking around the DC/Vertigo booth. Stop by and say hello. In the meantime, I hope to be back to blogging as soon as the spirit strikes me. You can always catch me Arguing On The Internet over at TalkIslam. They’ve set up a podcast feature at RedRoom, which is appealing when you’re burnt out on keyboards...stay tuned. 

The talented Moe Abbas has been updating various parts of the site, so look for new reading material under press, books etc. Happy trails. 

I’m Really Still Here, Honest

July 12

I’m pretty swamped with Butterfly Mosque edits, AIR and Another DCU Project, so by the end of the day I cannot bear to look at my keyboard anymore. If I owe you an email, this is why you haven’t gotten it. It’s also why I’ve been updating the blog so infrequently. But I am still here, and I hope--I keep saying this--that things will calm down soon.

Quick updates: I’ll be at the San Diego ComicCon starting the afternoon of July 24. I have signings at the Vertigo booth every day, so if you’re coming to the Con and you’d like to say hi, stop on by. Bring your copy of CAIRO, OUTSIDERS, COMIC BOOK TATTOO or whatever else you’d like me to sign. I’ll probably be at the Image booth for the COMIC BOOK TATTOO group signing as well.

Though I’m not blogging a lot, I am still very much On The Internet, so if you’re looking for casual intellectual chit-chat, go to TalkIslam. I participate in the discussions there most every day.

Speaking of COMIC BOOK TATTOO, COMIC BOOK TATTOO! Order your copy now! It’ll also be in big music stores and comic shops. I like my story less now than I did when I wrote it, but it’s a fantastic book, Neil Gaiman writes the intro, and if you like Tori Amos, you’ll never have another chance to experience her music this way. I got my first Tori album at thirteen (fyi, this is too young to be listening to Tori Amos), so I was really excited to participate in this anthology.

That’s about it. More soon. Promise.
