I’ve had a change of heart. After stressing over the situation, and trying to write additional scenes (not easy when you’ve decided to stop writing in this genre) and having a complete panic attack which was so embarrassing (I was tempted to remove the post, but I decided against it ), but we decided– 1 volume, the script remains the same, and the book will get drawn the way it was supposed to. 
We’re still going to put off releasing in the summer due to the artist having computer issues, but either way, Games With Me is on track– releasing April 1, and I can still breath a sigh of relief.
In other news– I got my first batch of returns from my distributor, since allowing returns in the last quarter of 2011. It consisted of only two book. Wow. I expected it to be so much worse.

This weekend has been very eventful, so many entries…which is unusual for me, on this blog.
After discussions with the Italian publisher, I’ve been asked to alter the release date for the combined volumes of Roulette on the KINDLE, so that they can release the first Volume of the print edition, in Europe first. Since they plan to take Roulette to the Angoulême International Comics Festival as part of their new Italian-bara style line, next year, and they wish to release one Volume at a time, they’ve asked me to hold up on releasing Roulette in its entirety.
My books are now sold on Amazon.it, Amazon.fr, and Amazon.de, for foreign KINDLE’s, in their original English language. If I were to release Roulette in English to all of these, it would be competing with each print edition the publishers paid us to produce, and would reveal the ending of the book, before Teke Eket had a chance to release Volume 2.
I’ve decided to honor their request, and alter the release of Roulette, until after Angoulême, in 2013. I’m so sorry to all who’ve been waiting for this series to release since discovering it in Dramaqueen’s RUSH – and putting up with the delays and issues we’ve had over the years since the series began in 2007. Many false starts and lots of false hope–but the series is finally on track financially, and is being completed for a publisher that can actually produce it.
I wont interfere with that, even if it means I have to wait another year for it to see print.
Thanks,
Tina Anderson.
