No pub date. My agent, Deborah Warren, is working on the contract. I need a year and-a-half to complete it. oxb

I took 11 long years to sell this book. I wrote Sandy to say it should have been her sale, but I couldn't figure out a way to change the ms. so that she and her readers would find it saleable. I left the agency so that I could find a way to give this book a new life. Little did I know it would require an entire change in medium. In a way it was fortuitious it took me over a decade to do this book because the graphic novel medium has matured even more and there is a larger audience.

Taryn--You've got to read the graphic novel, "Epileptic"! The art is fabulous and the story personal and deeply engaging.

Actually, I just ordered "Fun Home" yesterday. Are you working on your own stories, books?

Hi, Taryn--How funny to find you here. Yes, I'm doing a graphic novel and seems to be the best format for my words and pictures! I hope you're stil doing lots of climbing. oxx, B
