Graphic novelist extraordinaire Colleen Doran was nice enough to call me a "blog buddy" in her latest post. http://adistantsoil.com/2009/11/18/comics-links-2/#more-4694
Be a blog buddy to Colleen. Go to her blog, read the web comic version of her series "A Distant Soil," and buy her stuff. If you've been to our house, you know that we've bought a lot of her stuff -- it's all over our walls.

The Blog Rondelet
In her blog, Colleen Doran writes about turning Portugese comics creators on to Harlan Ellison's work by discussing the book HARLAN ELLISON'S WATCHING.
In his blog, novelist and comics writer Duane Swierczynski writes about opening a new edition of HARLAN ELLISON'S WATCHING, and finding a reference to my cousin Lee Goldberg.
In his blog, Lee Goldberg writes that he is disappointed with Duane Swierczynski's latest novel, and hopes that DS's next novel meets his expectations of the writer. This triggers a storm of comments about how and when writers (particularly those who do not yet have a reputation) are willing to give negative reviews to other writers -- one in which Swierczynski joins.
All we need is for Colleen to write about Duane, and (to paraphrase Darth Vader) the circle will be complete.

A Class Act
Graphic novelist Colleen Doran is, beyond doubt, a classy purveyor of panelology. After purchasing the first three compilations of her signature series, A DISTANT SOIL, in signed-and-numbered hardbound editions, I was having trouble getting the fourth. Amazon.com was selling it; but I tried ordering it twice from the mouth of that mighty river, and got dammed both times -- they sent me library editions instead of the signed/numbered ones. I whined about my plight to Colleen; and she dug into her limited stash of s/n editions, invited me to send my library edition to her, and exchanged it for one that had the signature, the numbering, the art print, and the certificate of authenticity. That is truly going above and beyond the duties of an author. (Plus, on her blog she has photos of herself carrying a chainsaw.) Please buy all the books by her that you can.
