Greetings! I announced recently my signing with Sweatshoppe Publications . I'm pleased to announce that the book is available now for pre sale and that there will be a book launch in the St. John's neighborhood of Portland on Feb 2nd. Purchase the book now or at the event and I'll sign the book for you. If you plan on purchasing your copy at the event, please let me know so I can make sure I have enough copies on hand. I'm honored to have many of my friends and family sharing their talents alongside me that evening. Having a book deal and a book in print has always been a dream of mine and I'm pleased-- nay! elated!-- that this dream is coming to pass. Thanks to all of you for your unending love and support and I hope to see you on Feb 2nd.  The links above will take you where you need to go. Justin
