Disaster Averted! For now…

 

I hate to use a cliché’ like saying it’s a Christmas miracle, but that’s what my friends, colleagues, fellow fans, and even strangers have helped pull off.

 

Just over a week ago I was left missing a large part of my income when Finlay Publishing, the publishing company I had been doing most of my writing for, issued a statement that it decided that it wasn’t likely going to pay its writer the outstanding money owed for work that had been published.

 

I was left with a pile of bills stacking up and an eviction notice dated December 25th. Merry Christmas to me.

WRITER IN DIRE NEED!

Dear Friends in the comics, arts and writing industries, 

It is with a heavy heart and more than an ounce of desperation that I write these words.

As some of you may know, the world of writing and publishing is fragile, and things beyond your control can tumble down around you in unfortunate ways.

Such an incident is why I write this.

I and some of my fellow Finlay Publishing writers are experiencing one of the worst possible surprises for Christmas.
