Well, so far so good! I seem to be on track this year! I have a chapbook already up on Amazon! There are more stories to tell and I can’t wait to share them!

JP Wagner

The Crystal Crown, which was released as a free ebook back in December is now available on Amazon and eventually will be available at other retailers later on in March.

Another manuscript has been edited and is planned to be released in the Spring (see the JP Wagner website for more details as they happen)

Tedieval

As I work on my daily morning pages, I am getting character models down and so I also get back in the swing of working with the characters. I may be able to work on comics along with revising novels if I keep this up!

Beth’s Art Website

I’m not only sketching every weekday, but I am getting back that need to work on comics again!

Isaac & Lee

I’m doing the occasional morning page with the characters. Again, like with Tedieval, I think I may be able to sneak in pages here and there along with novel revisions.

Grotto of Poppies

The hiatus continues, but if I get one of the other comics done then I may find time to work on this one.

The past year was one of getting processes in place. I think I may finally have a workable plan in place, now to get practised with it!

JP Wagner

I will be working on trying to get out four novels this year. As I work on them I’ll be updating on the JP Wagner site, so check it out!

Tedieval

I will be working on pencils for issue #2 as I have a full plate this year, I won’t be able to start working on this for sure until the later part of the year so I am expecting very slow progress.

Beth’s Art Website

My son bought me a Rocketpad so I will try to do a morning warm up sketch every week day in order to maintain my drawing muscles! The catch with these will be one chance, no erasing and no redrawing. Whatever I sketch gets posted. This is to put pressure on myself and to fight the inner critic.

Isaac & Lee

As with Tedieval I will be working on this comic later on in the year.

Grotto of Poppies

This story will be on hiatus until further notice as I focus on other projects.

Hey everyone! Sorry I didn’t update you about my attendance to Rose City Comicon last weekend! It was very last minute. But I had a blast and met some wonderful people (like yourself perhaps!).

My next appearance will be in Calgary at The Panel One Comic Creator Festival, Saturday, October 1, 2022, 11 am – 6 pm at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association – 1320 5 Ave NW, Calgary, AB T2N 0S2.

So if you are in the neighbourhood, feel free to stop by!

I’ll be sharing a table at FanExpo next week, so if you are in the area, feel free to stop by!
I’ll be in the North Building and I’ll post my table assignment on Wednesday!

Krinneth lay dying in a field medical tent after a fierce battle. Even so, he was granted a holding and the king’s youngest daughter. Not willing to let go of her husband to be so easily, magical help was sought. A bargain was struck. And now Krinneth must spend nine years in Faerie, a strange land where Elves, Goblins and even stranger creatures dwell.

Avantir is on its last legs. The Hygerians are about to take the barony. Rorick’s father entrusts him with the Sword which must not be named. It is a sword of immense power, which is awaiting its new master. Rorick flees the castle and begins to search for Prince Conel who was hidden in the hills during the unrest. Together they will join forces to save the kingdom!

JP Wagner Novels

I have just finished the first round of edits for the Stonecaller novel which means now it’s going to rest for a bit while I focus on other projects.

Comics

I’m getting back into the swing of working on comics. I’m currently inking Tedieval and while it’s slow going, I’m really happy with how it’s turning out. It’s just going to take a little longer than usual.

General News

I am still reading stories on Twitch and YouTube on Wednesday so if you are interested in hearing some very rough draft of stories, feel free to tune in!

In May I’ll be part of Canzine as it joins TCAF for an online festival!

If you follow Moongate Studios for comics, then from May 8-15 go to the TCAF site to find my booth and get a chance to experience many other comic creators and zinesters!

Isaac & Lee

This won’t be ready until after Tedieval goes live. I will announce it here on this website.

A Grotto of Poppies

This comic will be on hiatus until further notice.

Once again, I am sorry.

Wow. What a year! But I don’t have to tell you that. Whatever you were expecting, this year was not at all what you thought it would be. I was still able to be fairly productive and I got things done. Of course it’s never as much as I would like, but this past year has taught me a bit of patience.

JP Wagner

As of January 1st I will be performing my own version of a Novel writing month that I am calling Janowrimo. During this month I will be working on the first draft of the story Carla and the Elves. I was pretty sure that there was already a story titled this which my father had written, but I haven’t found it yet so I am writing this story for now.
I will also be editing the sequel to Talisman of the Winds called Stonecaller. For those of you who follow my YouTube Channel, you would have heard me read this story earlier in 2020. I will let you know more as I continue the editing process.
Anything beyond that? Well, I’ll let you know later on in 2021.

Tedieval

So the first issue of Tedieval is available in ebook and paperback wherever books are sold.
As for the webcomic, it will resume it’s monthly updating later on in January.

Beth’s Art Website

My goal for 2021 is to resume weekly sketches on my art website, they will likely be on the spot so keep checking the website for new artwork/sketches.

Isaac & Lee

After a very long hiatus, this year there will be new Isaac & Lee comics starting in March, look for new weekly updates!

Grotto of Poppies

The next story arch in the Grotto of Poppies series will begin in June of this year. So join Dr. Watterson and Dr. Rhodes as the mystery deepens!
