It is NOT cancer! That was the final diagnosis made by the vascular surgeon earlier this week, after comparing my latest CATscan with that taken back in March. The two anomalies on my lungs are static and have not grown. Meaning, no cancer. And a new lease on life for yours truly. As I’d mentioned previously, now we enter monitoring mode, wherein I’ll be going back every so often to
have scans done and to keep a watchful eye on those mysterious spots. But my gut tells me we are out of the woods, folks. Thank you, every single one of you, for all your prayers on my behalf. From your lips to God’s ears. I owe you all.

Likewise, was talking with son Scott, my web-designer, and he was telling me the site is
getting an average of 25 visitors a day. That is really wonderful news, and even more importantly, the average stay is 10 minutes!
Awesome. So I want to take this opportunity to
thank all of you who stop by on a regular basis
and actually read through our pages. Really nice to know you are there, and obviously enjoying what we have here. And there will be more in the near future. We are going to have an art gallery page where I’ll be posting both pin-ups and actual pages from the various comic book projects I’m currently working on. Lots of really great visuals for you to enjoy. Give us a few weeks, we want to keep you coming back on a regular basis.

This next section should be called BEER AND COMICS. Ha. Those of you who live in the New England area, pay close attention. There will be a one day comic book blow-out at the Red Hook
Brewery Convention Center at the nearby Pease
Tradeport Center in Newington, a little town
connected to Portsmouth, this Sunday, 22nd May. Peter Laird and his Mirage Studio Crew will be on hand to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles debut at a Portsmouth one day show all those many years ago. 25 seems to be this week’s lucky number. Scot Eaton from Marvel will be on hand, including the JOHNNY RAYGUN team, writer Christopher Golden and of course, yours truly. I’m told it’s going to be a rainy day, so why not drive on down and join the fun.
Looks to be a really fun show.

Finally, believe it or not, I haven’t seen
STAR WARS III – REVENGE OF THE SITH …yet!
Something I hope to correct this very afternoon, ha. From what I’m hearing on the web-vine, from bonafide SW nerds, this one is really good. Or
as cartoonist Scott Kurtz put it, “It does not
suck!” Ha.

My latest pulp THE HOUNDS OF HELL, is selling
extremely well. Look for a link in our AIR FARE column within the next few days. For those of you who’ve already ordered a copy, thanks.
Please drop me a line a line and let me know what you thought of my pulp cross-over pastiche.
It was much fun to write. I pray it is as much fun to read. And lots more of that on the way.
What with the good medical news, I’m totally
charged up with new ideas and eager to get busy.

Have a great week, over and out, Ron.
