So I am very much the target audience for his followup works. i took the time to start re-reading Chiaroscuro, and it's as good as I remember - I'm looking to order Angora Napkin now, but it will probably be Amazon, as i don't have a local shop and my mailorder companies don't make it easy to order backstock. as a follow-up, I found my copy of Chiaroscuro on one of my bookshelves – I actually have a signed and numbered copy from the self-published version that Troy used to find a publisher, along with a very nice note thanking me for taking a chance by ordering the book from him.

I bought the first book and really, really liked it. In fact, I think I remember pre-ordering the book or purchasing something from him when he was producing it as a form of encouragement for self-publishing. I would definitely be interested in his followup work, but I missed it in Previews. I do check the IDW section, and usually look at the non-licensed books (as you reference, there's some really nice stuff hidden in there at times). But I didn't catch that this was by Troy. I didn't remember his name well enough, quite frankly. I've got it ordered now, but only because a good retailer made me aware of its very existence.

I hope this post will encourage self-published authors to continue with their writing, no matter what the challenges are. It's very overwhelming that the animated film was inspired by self-publishing. I'll bookmark this. Wow, this is truly encouraging!
