Hi everyone!

Long time no write! I hope you're all keeping well and enjoying life.

Take my free stuff!

So, as the title of this email suggests, I'm in a bit of an odd situation - I'm leaving the country in less than six weeks but I have lots of lovely Mittens and Little Goth Girl T-shirts and bags. I don't want to ship them across three borders with me, so I'm giving them away for one penny each! All you have to do is cover the shipping and they're yours.

There's got to be a good excuse to buy them - birthdays, early Christmas planning, something like that, and literally everything must go! For a penny and some postage you can't go too far wrong and it would help me out a lot. I really want them to go to a good home rather than landfill!

You'll need PayPal (sorry, no credit cards or cheques/checks these days), but other than that it's a doddle:

While you're there, you could always download a couple of the free audio book short stories I released last year. Just pop them in your cart and you'll get a download link after checkout.

New stuff?

You may have been wondering why it's been so quiet on my site for the last few years in regard to animations and games, well, there may be a change in that over the next year. Part of my new job is going to be teaching people to animate and code in Flash, so I'll be given time to make new animations and toys to play with - meaning you'll be getting some more fun things on my site! Yay!

Hopefully I'll add some more thing from the characters you love and maybe make some new ones... Who knows? It's a very exciting time for me and I'm really looking forward to making something new for you all.

Tell you what - if you all can clear my shop out in the next five weeks, I'll make sure there's a new Halloween animation this year, I promise.

Comic!

I hope you've not forgotten that I make a webcomic twice a week. Every Monday and Friday I post a new strip and now there are over 300 in the archive too!

The latest can always be seen here:

The very first can be seen here:

(They did get better.)

Come by and visit! It's always nice to see comments from you all on there too - it makes me feel less like I'm shouting into an empty cave. 3,000 people read the strips at the moment and there are about five people who comment, so a little word or two now and again is lovely for me to see. :)

=========

That's it for the moment - there will be more in the next couple of months.

Remember - I need to clear my shop in the next five weeks. If you can give a good home to bags and T-shirts for the cost of the postage then I would really appreciate it!

Thanks! Keep on dancing 'til next time,
