The Oriental Lieutenant
Synopsis!
Lieutenant Selim’s plans were simple. He would survive his time in the Jannisary army, retire, and set up a tea shoppe in the dappled shade of the poplar trees. Delilah Dirk would ruin it all.
First she is the reason he is to be executed. Then she is the only reason he’s still alive. Now Selim must abandon his life in Constantinople while trying to live up to the principles that insist he repay Delilah for saving his life. All he must do is loot a pirate king’s treasury, escape an entire town’s-worth of angry citizens, and survive being blown off the top of an aqueduct by cannon fire.
What could be more simple?
Details!
Delilah Dirk and the Oriental Lieutenant is the first long-form, stand-alone graphic novel featuring Delilah Dirk. It is currently in production. If you’d like to follow along with its progress as it inches towards completion, I am posting updates on my Livejournal and Posterous sister-sites. (Brother-sites? Sibling-sites.) Of course, progress will be updated on this blog, in posts categorized as “The Oriental Lieutenant”. And of course, feel free to tell me what I’m doing wrong using Twitter.
