Dear All,

Just call me the Cory Doctorow of comics.

Cathedral Child, as I’ve been promising since January, is finally
online. The whole thing, absolutely free to read and share, under a
Creative Commons license. The big ideas being to a) give something
back in thanks for all the help you (and about 1,950 people) gave my
family after our fire last year and b) well, sell books!
I hope you’ll link to CATHEDRAL CHILD at your various websites, blogs,
and news magazines.

It can be found here:

There’s a swell link image here:

There’s also an article about my twelve-year love affair with
webcomics and web promotion to drive print sales at:

Thanks so much!
