“The Taxman Must Die” sample pages
The Taxman Must Die is a wacky mix of an office comedy and a national security thriller. Two unlikely secret agents– an accountant and a mutant alligator– have to save the world. From themselves, mostly. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so easy for supervillains to break out of prison or why black heroes die so quickly, you will probably enjoy it. Here’s the scene where the two main characters first meet! (PS: If you like the pages, please sign up for the raffle for a chance to win a free, signed copy when it comes out).
As always, if you’re interested in the story, please sign up for the raffle and you may win a free signed copy when it eventually comes out. (The more people sign up, the easier it will be for me to show publishers that many readers are interested in the story).





Okay, here’s the short version of the coloring problem we were facing. Emily and I were working in CYMK Colors, the default coloring system of Photoshop. However, the web applications I work with prefer RGB coloring. Uploading CYMK works distorted the colors when viewed online, causing radioactive monstrosities like I linked to before.
The solution was extremely simple. In Photoshop, go to Image -> Mode -> RGB Color. 20 seconds.
However, publishers prefer CYMK colors because that works better for printers.
Looks amazing, guys, great job. Top 97% of submissions for your given week, I betcha!
Oh, forgot to mention that I’m glad you guys got the trouble worked out. Computers are kooky and like to invent bizarre horrific but somehow exceedingly small problems
Wow, this is really good!
Thanks!
Awesome stuff B.Mac
