Updates and Press Releases
Last week, I spent most of my time fighting off a wretched flu and migraine like bug; being online, where things blink pretty colors and the light shifts on the screen was not high on my priority list of things to do. Despite that, I've been working on an assortment of small projects as I get started on novel number three (which now has a new title: Regaining Home). Departure is out with my editor, and we'll be doing a quick turn around on the edited version so that the book can publish the day after Thanksgiving. The speed of the print on demand process astonishes me.
In the mean time, I've finally had some time to work on Baeg Tobar, Living Kalamar, and assorted other projects. Baeg Tobar has launched a new Web comic over the past few weeks and launches another this coming Monday. It's a really exciting time for the site, so if you haven't checked it out, please pop over to Baeg Tobar and see what we're up to. It's a fantasy world with developing technology, magic that flows like a current through the world, and an empire just about ready to tumble. The stories are well worth reading.
And to that end, here's our latest press release!

BAEG TOBAR TO LAUNCH “THE BROKEN MANTLE” WEB COMIC
October 2, 2006 (Blue Springs, MO) - Baeg Tobar (www.baegtobar.com), a premiere online, shared world community of creators of fiction and art, is pleased to announce the launch of their newest Web comic. Unlike most Web comics, “The Broken Mantle” features not only regularly updated panels, but sections of prose accompanied by a splash page of art. This hybrid of prose and comic is a new format for the Baeg Tobar site. The story, developed by writer Daniel Tyler Gooden, tells of a mechanical man’s search for an ancient city and a veteran explorer’s hope to find his way home from the lost continent on which he finds himself trapped. Illustrator Rick Hershey, founder of Empty Room Studios and creator of Steampunk Musha RPG, and colorist Ramiro Diaz Legaspe provide the illustrations. “The Broken Mantle” updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, beginning on October 9th, 2006.
“My favorite storyline has always been of the fallen empire,” said Gooden. “This type of story has too many incredible possibilities not to get excited about writing it. I'm glad to be given the chance by Baeg Tobar.”
Hershey also expressed his enthusiasm for working on the project. “After reading Daniel's script and having the chance to get Ramiro to color my lines, I was hooked. So far, I’m enjoying every minute of it.”
“The Broken Mantle” joins Web comics “The Fall of Pileaus” and “Stoneteller” on the Baeg Tobar Web site. These are the newest projects for the Baeg Tobar site, which currently hosts six serial novels that are updated with new chapters once a month.
