Happy New Year folks!

First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of blog posts in the last portion of 2011. It was an insane year filled with lots of travelling for Sidekicks and working late nights on an old laptop computer in hotel rooms. I fell behind on many things. Heck, some emails still haven't even been replied to yet. (I gotta get on that)

Hopefully, things will be different for 2012 and I can slow down a little.

Notice I didn't say "Thankfully". (I'm still on a tight schedule until about March and then it's clear skies)

Secondly, I want to thank everyone for their support last year in helping to spread the word about Sidekicks. Thanks to you, Sidekicks has gotten plenty of exposure, and made several year end lists which included Graphic Novel Reporters Top Ten of 2011, School Library Journals Best of 2011, and a Cybil Award nomination.

So besides the graphic novel, what kept me so busy you might ask? Well, I have compiled images and put this video sneak peek together to show you. I, admittedly, may not have time to make book trailers for all of these books, but I do want to at least share with you why I was so absent last year. I must admit, after putting this video together I didn't realize how much work it all was until now. It makes me stressed and tired all over again.

Enjoy! And may you also have a fun and productive 2012.
