Sick, but not dying.

Hey folks,
sorry for the long absence. I had a hell of a time at DragonCon last week. I managed to cosplay Agent 47 from the Hitman series and do a good job with it, and otherwise just fooled around and hung out with the ever entertaining Kato, Rin, Miss Morgane, and Biohazardous Misa as well as the entirety of the band Abney Park.
Of course, once I returned from the con, I came down with con-crud something horrible. I'm still recovering, in fact. I apologize for the silence as of late, but now you know why it happened. Enjoy these pictures from the con. I'm going to go sip some tea and go back to bed...

Nights and Upcoming Conventions

Hello again,

Lately I've been working at finishing Moribund for possible submission to an agent in the U.K., which is as exciting as it comes to me. If accepted, it will delay the release of the novel, but it will mean a larger release later. Don't worry, I won't forget you all. If this goes through, I'm planning some special surprises for you.

The project with Drawing in Dark continues. Karen has been keeping me up-to-date on developments on the artwork and we have discussions on the subject almost every other day. I think it's safe to say we're both excited about it and about the prospect of further collaborations. She is hoping to finish the piece and get prints made up in time for Dark Arts at the Bram Stoker Film Festival in Whitby, U.K. on October 22nd-25th. The prints will be sold alongside copies of the story that inspired it. If you're in the U.K. and enjoy horror and other fantastic things, you should give it a look and tell Karen I said hello.

Personally, I won't be able to make it to the United Kingdom for the film festival (at least, not this year), but I will be attending DragonCon in Atlanta on September 4th-7th and Steamposium in Seattle September 25th-27th. If you're in the vicinity of either event, keep an eye out for me. I'll be more than happy to talk to anyone and will likely have copies of my work for sale at both events.

I think that wraps it up for the moment. Back to writing for me.

Until next time

Development and random updates

Hello again,

So, it looks as if I will be appearing at DragonCon 2015. The con goes from September 4th-7th in Atlanta, Georgia. Details can be seen on the events page. That being said, I do hope some of you will come out and say hello. I'm not at all sure what I'll be dressed as just yet, but I'm working something out. There's time.

As for the website, I added several new mailing options to the store, so you should have an easier time seeing exactly how you would like your items shipped. I'm also working on links to allow Paypal users to shop using their accounts, but Paypal and my Squarespace (which I built this website on) don't play well together. I may re-design the entire store page. We'll see.

As for items being available on the site, I'll soon be putting up the leather-bound, handmade copies of "A Glimpse into Madness." They're bound in actual leather by me, the pages are of the highest quality, hand-stitched with waxed and acid-free thread, then bound with a non-staining and lasting glue. These will be going at a premium, but there will only ever be 20 in existence, and they're sure to last a lifetime. They are each numbered, signed, and sometimes doodled in. I hope to get them listed soon.

The first batch of books sold on this site went out this morning, and I'm pleased with the turnout. The Promo-code is still good through this Sunday.

As for my personal life, I'm still editing, still writing, and still very happy with the results thus far. My cats, on the other hand, have been upset with me. They hate it when I work. (see below) Clotho is the innocent looking one (who is also sitting on my keyboard) and Chronos is her brother. They're a cute handful, but I enjoy their company.

That about does it for updates from me. I've been keeping myself very busy between work, life, and literature. I hope to have something to show you all soon.
