Winters in Kindling are brutal, and families throughout the San Luis Valley endure them in isolation. The weeks following the first thaw are often filled with bitter news, as people learn of the deaths of neighbors and distant loved ones. This mourning period concludes with the coming of the Spring Market.

The Spring Market Dance is sort of a collective sigh of relief breathed by the valley’s inhabitants. People eat and drink to excess and generally revel in being alive.

It’s a pretty good time.

Launching Kindling has given me a crash course on all the social media platforms that I had previously been content to gawk at from the sidelines. You can now like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Dea will also be posting updates to her Tumblr and DA page. Please keep the comments and suggestions coming.

In other news, Kindling will have a one page comic in DC Conspiracy’s Magic Bullet #5 “End of the World,” debuting in September 2012. This is a free paper that will be at most comic book stores in the metro DC area and available at Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD. You can learn more about it here.

The Long-Awaited Spring

I’m happy to report that I finished the first draft of Chapter One last night. We should be on track for a spring release. Which is apt, as the title of the first chapter is The Long-Awaited Spring. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Dechanique is currently working on concept drawings for Kindling‘s main characters. When she completes them, I will put a couple up on the website. That way you can get acquainted with our intrepid heroes before the series officially begins.

Thanks to everyone who has commented, tweeted, and emailed their support for Kindling over the past few weeks. You are all officially “into Kindling before it was cool.” And it will be cool my trend-setting friends, trust and believe.

Welcome to Kindling!

In the world of Kindling, civilization as we know it perished in a global cataclysm that buried humanity beneath the snows of a generations-long winter. Spring has finally come. Set in the American Southwest, Kindling chronicles a group of survivors as they contend with the dangers of the new world and endeavor to rebuild.

Kindling is written by Jason Nerad (Me) and illustrated by dechanique (D), artist of the webcomic La Macchina Bellica.

D and I hope to begin production in January of 2012. Soon after, it will be published as a weekly webcomic. Until then, please check out the prologue for an introduction to the world of Kindling.
