Wheh! Wotta ride!!
I’ll confess, I had no idea what a long, winding road was ahead when Tony Isabella first proposed doing The Loves of Abby Amour mini-series. When we started I didn’t really know where Tony was going with the story. Or how long it was going to run. (A few weeks?) I just knew—based on my faith in Tony’s abilities—that it would be great fun. And it was!
So here we are—eight months and many plot twists later–and Abby is finally flying away to her happy ending. Or at least her ending for now. (Tony and I are planning to collect the whole Abby Amour story–plus a lot of extras–in a book.)
For now, though, I just want to celebrate—and thank Tony Isabella, our main colorist Diego Jourdan Pereira, and dream sequence colorist Sue Daigle-Leach for the fun ride!
