~King of the Dragonfish: Chapter 18~

Obi-Wan wakes himself up with a powerful sneeze. He groans, long and low. The sudden jerk of it sends a flash headache searing through his skull like a forest fire. As the pain fades, he realizes that everything aches, and his respiratory system feels scratchy from the back of his throat down into his chest.

Oh bother. He's caught a bug, one potent enough to overcome a jedi's natural immunity to illness. Or, equally likely, he's just that worn down.

The only good part of waking, relatively speaking, is that he's alone and somehow… on a mattress..?

Obi-Wan rolls his head to look at the situation. His vision lags behind the turn of his eyes, making him nauseous, and moving makes his scalp flare in warning. He closes his eyes and breathes for a moment, drawing the force to him in the same way a weaver might run their fingers through freshly sheared wool. It flows through him, and begins bolstering his body against the sickness.

Tracy’s Back in Dangerous Experiments!

At last, the second installment of the epic, sex-positive, sci-fi  graphic novel Tracy Queen is here! Launching today in both trade paperback and digital formats, Tracy Queen, V2: Dangerous Experiments brings back indie comics’ favorite mob-enforcer-turned-camgirl-turned-porn-star-turned-warlord. Now, Tracy’s making new friends and worse enemies! Plus learning deeper backstories! And winning more fabulous fights! Even filming even sexier sex scenes!

About Tracy Queen:

Tracy Queen, Volume 2: Dangerous Experiments brings back everyone’s favorite killer camgirl, Tracy Queen! This ongoing graphic novel began last year with Tracy Queen, Volume 1, where Tracy—a brilliant but sheltered Brooklynite with a penchant for hookah and a talent for swordplay—broke free of her grandfather’s crime syndicate to pursue a life of pleasure as an adult webcam model. But her journey to self-discovery and empowerment won’t come easily…

About Dangerous Experiments

Tracy Queen, Volume 2: Dangerous Experiments opens with Tracy having left the employ of her grandfather’s crime syndicate. She’s struck out on her own as an empowered, independent woman. And, with a raccoon for a best friend and a budding career as an adult webcam model, she’s ready to take on the world!

But several months into her new life…she’s so freaking bored! Then she discovers that her grandfather’s gang is trafficking a new kind of merchandise. Tracy’s ennui turns to bloody vengeance, and soon she’s rescued four young women from a horrible fate.

Now, Tracy has a new mission. She’ll destroy harmful ideas about women’s sexuality…by creating hot, consensual adult entertainment that puts Tracy in charge! But first, she must help the women she’s rescued get home, transform her warehouse into a film studio, and learn to vet on-screen partners. Meanwhile, she’s sidestepping her grandfather’s surveillance. And also avoiding Dickie Doublefinger, the L.A. smut producer determined to squash Tracy’s freedom. Along the way, Tracy will face a stunning betrayal that culminates in a massive battle she never foresaw…

Who’s Involved?

Award-winning sex-positive writer Lynsey G reprises her role as a graphic novelist in Volume 2 of this 8-part serial graphic novel. Veteran illustrator Jayel Draco creates the gorgeous art. Comics-industry stalwart Cardinal Rae handles lettering. And whimsical-slash-eerie illustrator Tangmo Cecchini turns in a stunning cover. Guest art from James Johnson, Dylan J Fox, Sophia Murphy, and Shaydens Doodle also appears in the book!

There aren’t too many of these gorgeous books available. So grab it now in trade paperback or digital format, exclusively from the Oneshi Press store!

Never miss a book launch when you sign up for the Oneshi Press mailing list!

The book you funded!

I’m SO excited for all of you to read the second volume of my journey. The writing by Lynsey G is badass—and it totally tells my story COMPLETELY ACCURATELY. Okay?

The illustrations by Jayel Draco are stunning. Plus, you’ll finally learn Nikola’s origin story! And how I met Natasha Blue! And who the heck is this Dickie Doublefinger guy you’ve heard so much about? Oh, and you’ll get your first glimpse of my sweet Howie. I miss Howie.

The art!

Anyway, now that the book is funded, backers are getting lots of art, too. Art prints galore! Jayel Draco has been busy making awesome art prints of yours truly for delivery to backers.

Oh! And Jayel Draco is far from the only artist attached to the project. There are now SIX other artists involved in Dangerous Experiments! First of all, the cover art was made by the amazing Tangmo Cecchini. Check this gorgeousness out!

Then, inside the pages of the issue, there are four chapter covers created by Shaydens Doodle, Jason Johnson, Dylan Jay Fox, and Sophia Murphy!

And that’s not all. On top of art prints and hand-drawn doodles and sketches by Jayel Draco, backers are getting hand-drawn character sketches by the fantastically talented Pink Pitcher! (By the way, her comic, Root & Branch, is AMAZING and you’ll love it.)

The other rewards!

OMG, there’s also digital and print copies of PACK #1 and #2, starring my imaginary boyfriend Patience! And comics anthologies like woah! Plus stickers! And postcards! And mothafucking TOTE BAGS.

Oh! And, because of the stretch goals, every single backer is getting the first eight pages of Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter before anybody else! Not too shabby.

Clearly, I’m really excited about all this.

Now that it’s funded, the book will be available digitally VERY soon, with the print version close on its heals! Stay tuned for more announcements about those!

And in the meantime…thank you so much for your support. You’re all the damn best.

Trust me, I know. I can’t shut up about this Kickstarter! But this is really amazing news, folks. Bear with me.

The Kickstarter to fund Tracy Queen, V2: Dangerous Experiments has been struggling all along due to shadow banning, as you know. But over the past week, in light of the COVID-19 crisis, it’s been struggling even more. Which I…

We’re Upping the Stakes! Get More from Your Pledge!

With just a few days left to fund Tracy Queen, V2: Dangerous Experiments, we’re pulling out all the stops! That means we’re upping the stakes for our Kickstarter backers. And that means that we’re giving out new rewards! Here’s what we’re offering now…

BACKERS WHO UP THEIR PLEDGES GET #SOCKSPOSITIVITY STICKERS!

You know how we feel about #sockspositivity, and how important the #sockspositive…

A cheap shot? Maybe.

But, hey. In the midst of all this COVID-19 madness, I’m…uh…still trying to fund this book I wrote. I’ve got a few days left before the Kickstarter to fund Tracy Queen, V2: Dangerous Experiments ends on Friday, March 20. And, well, that’s looking just about as bleak as the outside world right about now. I’ve worked very hard on the book itself, and on the Kickstarter campaign to fund it. And yet, there’s more than 50% left to raise in just over three days.

Yeah. I’m scared.

Not just because I have a compromised immune system due to medication I take for my autoimmune condition. (Although I am scared as heck about that, not gonna lie.) But also about my future as a writer. I rely on Kickstarter as a means to market, print, and distribute the comics I write, as well as books by other creators that I publish. So far, I’ve never had one fail. But with COVID-19 on the loose, interest in funding my work seems to have taken a precipitous dive. I’m not mad, because everyone is terrified. And it would be selfish and silly to be mad that folks are a little preoccuppied.

But I am scared.

Because, you know all those people who are losing income and afraid about whether they can make rent in the midst of all this fear and uncertainty? They’re me. And the future of my business as a comics writer and independent publisher may rely on this Kickstarter. If this campaign doesn’t get fully funded, we don’t get ANY of the money people have pledged. And then we may have to give up on, or at least severely alter, the future of my company—Oneshi Press. The proceeds from this campaign were meant to fund printing of this book and also help us stay afloat for the next few months, pay some of the artists who are creating work for our projects, and pay some bills. If we don’t make it, well…

I’m an indie creator, and my business helps support other indie creators.

So, hey. If you’re looking for ways to support folks whose livelihoods are on the line right now? Folks who work for themselves, have no paid time off, no sick leave, and usually really crappy health insurance? Look no further.

Hey. I know things are massively uncertain right now. I know people are losing income left and right, the stock market is taking a nosedive, and not every government is exactly stepping up to help people get through. *cough cough USA* I know shit’s scary.

But I’m literally trying to sell some comics. For cheap. For you to read while you’re in quarantine.

Folks. For $10, we’ll give you FOUR full-length digital comic books absolutely stuffed with art. That art took multiple artists thousands of hours and lots of money to produce.

For $25, we’ll give you all that and a printed comic book, too. The pot sweetens with every increase in pledge level after that. We’ve added new rewards of hand-drawn, gorgeous art, awesome stickers, and so much more. No matter what level you back at, I promise you: You’ll get more than your money’s worth, and you’ll likely get most of it while you’re still in quarantine.

Because those comics? They’re ready to go.

We’ll have digital rewards out within two weeks of the Kickstarter, if we get fully funded. That means, just when quarantine cabin fever is beginning to truly set in…BAM! Digital comics! And a few weeks after that (assuming our printer is operational) BLAMMO! Printed comics and art!

So, even if you’re not into supporting artists. If you’re just looking for something to do to keep yourself busy while you’re at home, bored and/or scared and/or desperate to stay entertained? Look no further. Our books will entertain you and get your brain going and let you immerse yourself in a world that’s not our messed-up situation in this world.

Help me give people comics!

If you’ve got a few bucks to spare and you want some comics, please pledge. If you don’t have anything to spare but you want to help, you can share the link.
