News and rumours

There are a number of rumours floating around now that Insomnia Publications, who were going to be publishing The Empyre, has ceased trading. I know of at least six other books in production, one or two all done and dusted, ready to be published and were due at Bristol and nothing happened. There was a big no show from the top brass at Bristol and it was put down to bad timing and other pressing matters, but it didn't look good and what followed after was several people leaving Insomnia in a rush. All of this is still unconfirmed but the mounting amount of rumours and stories, sudden exits and other goings on points at something rotten.

So, where does that leave The Empyre? Well, if Insomnia does go under, I should be able to get the contract cancelled or whatever, thereby releasing me from the publisher. At that point me and Adam Bolton, the artist, will have a chat and most likely continuing working on the book together and then look for a new home elsewhere. That's the plan at the moment. I was about to start the hunt for a new artist on a new project, but sorting out the future of The Empyre is likely to be a priority.

Will update this blog as regularly as I can with any news about The Empyre and its future.
