Recovery time and long over-due thank you

Well. That certainly was an AMAZING convention. There's nothing quite like the San Diego Comic Convention. It's the greatest show on earth.

For now, though, it's time to recover, and to think about what it all means. It's impossible to capture in a journal all in one go - there's simply too much to process! So I'll get back to you once I've wrapped my head around it all.

Meanwhile - there's somebody I'd like you to know about that doesn't get the acknowledgement she deserves.

She's one of the best - if not THE best - collaborators I've ever worked with.

She has read everything I've written as a script or book back to me, helping me hear the mistakes, the problems, the places where I was hitting my stride, and other places where I was not.

She has co-created many stories with me, often coming up with the heart of the concept out of which I could extrapolate whole worlds. 

She has researched for me, so that I know I have accurate information, dates and details.

She co-created Captain Stone.

With John Bamber and I she started a publishing company called Mam Tor, for which she oversaw all the production - the schedules, the payments, the advertising, the paper stock, the distribution, the pagination, the bar codes, the delivery, the printing.

She has been my biggest supporter, the voice of reason, the one that got me through all my darkest days.

Without her there would be no Madefire.

Thank you, Christina McCormack. You mean everything to me.
