Limited Edition Books and Minicomics!
| #books #threads #webcomics
Now you can own your own copy of my very limited edition collection of my webcomic formerly titled “Absolutely True Tales of Lesbian Drama”. The book is limited edition for two reasons. The first is because of the name change. Back in September 2012, I changed the title of my webcomic to “Threads of the Blue Rock Tapestry”.
