New mini-comic posted on my Tumblr!

It's a short story called, Daughter. It's about a high school girl in Calais, Maine who gets killed in cold blood. Her reputation was far from squeaky clean but she was still a person who deserved much more.

Morgan Beem did the excellent art and Shin-Wey Lu did the lettering.

Paranormal Romance story

I have a short story in Grayhaven's anthology series, The Gathering: Paranormal Romance.
"State of Mind" is about two angels who can never be together (kinda like Wings Of Desire). Simona Binni illustrated it and Marcello Iozzoli did the gray tones.

Years ago, I had a Myspace (didn't we all?) And I put together collages of things that interested me like photography and movies. I pasted together these images of subways...and the black & white photo of an angel talking to a man in a trench coat caught my eye. It appears they are standing at a stairway to heaven, talking about their complicated relationship. At least that's what it looks like to me.

So that small inspiration stayed with me for a long time (approx seven years).

When I finally got a chance to write it, I sent Simona other photo references to get the setting just right. The final result was right on the money.

 You can see a preview of it on my personal tumblr page, GiulieTruly.

1 Night on Earth Anthology - Printed

I finally received the micro-anthology in the mail and it looks amazing! The cover artist, Giovanna Terrone did an excellent job. Kudos to Christopher Kosek for designing it too!

A shout out to RA Comics Direct for printing a quality comic with super fast turnaround.

This will be available to purchase at the upcoming conventions, Comikaze and LBCC. Soon I'll update our online store where you can buy it directly from us (shipped within the US only).

One Night On Earth - on Tumblr

I'm in the process of putting together a micro anthology of sorts. I've written five short stories; each of them taking place in a different city (Sydney, Miami, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and San Salvador). What I've been trying to do is recruit women artists to collaborate on these shorts. Now, before you say it's a gimmick, these artists are amazing. I wanted to work with them. And I'm lucky that they said 'yes'. It's no easy feat either; juggling all the deadlines, keeping track on who's working on what and having an ultra tight budget--what was I thinking?!? But so far it's been a positive learning experience for me. I'm building a network of comrades =)

I don't know how Ranae de Liz & Company did it with Womanthology. That's one massive book. And what's great about it, it's still going. It's taking on new themes; profiling new & emerging talent.  Not to mention, recently Gail Simone recruited a slew of female artists and writers for the new Red Sonja series. Bravo I say!

Am I able to pull this little project off? We shall see. For now I have a tumblr going (free and open to the masses) but hopefully later in the year I'll do a small print run and sell them cheap at conventions. I won't be making money off of it (with printing, travel & convention costs). But the point of all this is to put work out there, show what I can do and what these kick-ass ladies have done.
