A few nice people have noticed the rather pronounced absence of any kind of activity on the blog for the past week or so. I just wanted to fire a quick post to let you all know what’s going on.

I have mentioned in the past that I dabble in novel-writing a fair bit. Well, that dabbling is about to bear fruit soon, with the publication of my first novel, LAZARUS, on Amazon Kindle (and other formats, depending on demand).

LAZARUS is a sci-fi psychological thriller that I wrote during the sleepless nights of my PhD. If you want to learn a bit more about it, you can read this summary.

What all this means is that I’ve been burning my free time on editing LAZARUS, so that readers’ eyes don’t bleed when it comes out. And between that, some travelling, and work, comics have taken a back seat. Me only has two hands.

So, that’s the reason why The Upturned Microscope has fallen quiet. I’m hoping that LAZARUS will be out in June, and I hope even more that it will be read by more than 0 people.

Until then, I leave you with the totally awesome cover that the totally awesome Gareth Axford designed:

It’s coming…
