Answers come in all shapes and sizes.

Thank you for the encouragement, the advice and the hope. So what are my answers....well some of them were private others are a little more public and some, well you will have to wait for.

Right now though I am at peace. Even though the novels are on permanent hold, the story is not. The audience was small enough to make a change and I find that my direction as gone full circle, with this project.

Years ago, the bean started as a web comic- it was how it was intended to be. Then it merged to a comic book and finally adapted to a written form. Yet it seems that projects and direction are destined to change. I decided the dream cannot die, because i will not let it die. I am pushing ever forward, but I am returning to my roots.

The choice I have made is to return it to a comic. It will take some reworking, but it will be an adaptation of my novels. It needs to be. There are more opportunities here than what the novels offer and I find that that is the direction I need to go in. All my connections are in comics, as well as distribution opportunities. If I ever needed an answer or direction, it has been staring me in the face for the last year and a half.

I am debating at bringing it back as a webcomic as well, I am still in talks with a few close individuals that are well known in the fantasy industry. All I do know is it is adapting and changing and I am at peace with the change. I still want the novels to come out - because i think they add to the comic and hit their own audience, and I have enjoyed working with aimee on the novels- I am just going to run limited runs on them. It is just the novels are not economical now and will have to wait til the future, while comics are a lot more feasible and a lot more sound, I can produce them rather quick.

I am taking it very seriously and we will see where this goes. I will keep more posted later.
