Kismet     Currently between storylines; new comic starting in '09?
A series of interwoven comics and short stories -- science fiction, action, humor -- telling the story of the 27th-century mining colony Kismet and its rotating cast of characters. Hunter's Moon, a complete 340-page graphic novel, is the recommended starting point for the Kismetverse. Another graphic novel is currently in the scripting stage. Go to Kismetcity.com for an overview and list of stories, or read Hunter's Moon.

Freebird     Hiatus
Alaskan slice-of-life/humor strip comic. Karen Bird drove north until she couldn't go any farther. She ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska ... and there her adventure began. This strip appeared in the Fairbanks entertainment paper "square" until its demise, at which point the strip went into retirement in the middle of a storyline. I plan to finish it someday.

Raven's Children     One story arc complete; on semi-permanent hiatus
Dark fantasy; currently two graphic novels available (parts of them online). This was my first published project (started in 2000) and the art/storytelling is very shaky -- fair warning! I do plan to pick it up again someday, but it's a low-priority project right now. Go to the website.

Midnight Sun     On hiatus pending major revisions
My "Alaska superhero" comic. There are about 20 pages right now, but I'm tinkering with the storyline and it's on indefinite hiatus. Go to the website.

Other Comics     Rarely updated
Old comics, one-shots, anthology submissions, projects currently in development or on hold. Go take a look.
