The two Wizard World shows were fine.\u00a0 The people running them were very hospitable.\u00a0 More on that some other time.\u00a0 Right now though, because I spent two weekends in a row at comic-cons, I have some plugging to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new collection of Arsenic Lullaby is finally in the Previews Catalogue.\u00a0 That is a phone book sized catalogue that all the comic book stores order from.\u00a0 That means right NOW is when you should be telling your store you want it.\u00a0 Do not assume they will order it on their own…like I said it is in a catalogue with pretty much every other comic book there is, under those conditions even Arsenic Lullaby can get missed.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

What you normally get from the Distributor as far as promotion is a postage stamp sized picture of the cover and a paragraph summary in the catalogue.\u00a0 That makes you a needle in a stack of needles, but you can’t really blame them, they are dealing with 300-600 different comic books a month.\u00a0 Arsenic Lullaby gets a bit more help than that because…frankly it’s earned a little more help.\u00a0 Award Nominations, appearances in Mad Magazine, and on Comedy Central, as well as a solid track record, and most importantly…longevity.\u00a0 The Distributor does spotlight a handful of books each month and Arsenic Lullaby is a solid choice to highlight.\u00a0 That all helps, THEORETICALLY.\u00a0 If I have learned one thing though in publishing a comic book, you should leave nothing to chance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why all my normal social media outlets, that usually contain me complaining, in my own charming, insightful and hilarious way…have been superseded by constant plugs for the new book.\u00a0 And why this weeks blog is more of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Publishing independently is a constant fight for survival against publishers with literally millions of dollars to spend on promotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

So , if you like the book, the blogs, the rants, and all the other things we do under the umbrella of the Arsenic Lullaby Brand…you’ll want to MAKE SURE, that your local comic book store orders the new issue.\u00a0 To be sure, you have to go in and tell them to order it, or at the very least send them an email.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot stress that enough.\u00a0 If you have never seen the catalogue stores order from, it is literally two inches thick…even stores that love the book and have many readers who are fans of A.L. come through their doors, can easily miss it if they don’t get a heads up about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

ARSENIC LULLABY “The Devil’s Only Friend”<\/span>
\nPublisher:\u00a0ARSENIC LULLABY PUBLISHING<\/strong><\/div>\n
(W\/A\/CA) Douglas Paszkiewicz<\/strong><\/div>\n
Direct from its second appearance on Comedy Central, the dark humor cult-favorite returns with a brand-new edition of despicable stories you’ll be ashamed you laughed at. A witch Doctor living in the suburbs and his zombie fetus army attempts to train his replacement in the ways of revenge; Cthulhu oversleeps and misses the Apocalypse; a demon attempts to use an Ouija board to find a better life “upstairs” only to discover earth is full of crackpots. All these, plus many more funny, and awful stories! <\/strong><\/div>\n

HERE IS ONE OF THE\u00a0 PAGES OF THE WELL GAURDED VOODOO JOE STORY (no words or color in this sample,but you get the idea.\u00a0 He is just as you remember him)<\/p>\n
