Hi

Excerpt from new project:



Some nice things out there about Lone Pine:

Stumptown Trade Review wrote a thoughtful review: "I am pleased to say that Lone Pine overcame my initial hesitation with a story that was both mysterious and haunting...Jed McGowan is trying something new. Lone Pine is different than any other book I read this past year."

Paul Gravett calls me “another talent to watch” in his Best Of 2010, which is a very nice thing to say.

And this Amazon.com customer review makes me smile: "Despite the undercurrent of fear and danger the book is still like the woods...After I reread it I'm going to hide this book in a tree trunk the next time I go camping, so someone can find it there, because I think that would be the best way to start." :)

Comments:
I forgot to tell you - at least 20 of my students mentioned Lone Pine in their end of semester reflections as one of the graphic novels they studied and liked. They're all English language learners - I think the sparseness of the text and the fact that it was so image-driven made them feel like they could access the story.
 
That's awesome!
