The Trees Whisper Our Sins

Hi there! I’m back. If you signed up for this newsletter it’s because you enjoy writing and are interested in comic anthologies, open submissions, and reading my stories.

Why did this newsletter go missing? It is simple. It was because of stress. For the month of August, I took a break from writing. To be honest, I thought I achieved my dream of being a comic book writer. Since 2019, I’ve been involved in several comic anthologies and built my own library of books with my comic shorts. However, I needed to tell one more story. I teamed up with Artist Don Cardenas and Letterer Clay Adams and we published, “The Trees Whisper Our Sins.” After reading the finished product, I realized I miss creating characters.

This particular story has a special place in my heart. In the spring of 2021, I took my son for a walk and this happened:

At the time, I was stressed about my work/life balance. I was constantly yelling at my son because he kept interrupting me while I worked. I wrote all my fears about failing as a father into this story. I do hope you enjoy it!
