Quick! Someone tell Abigail Lakewood!

If anyone has read my vampire mall cop short stories they’ll know why I’m reposting this. Anyway no it’s probably not good, go check on your colony of air conditioner gnomes and make sure that slime isn’t hunting them.

Ok, working on the script for episode one of this. Molly Blake and Ninja Togepi (COMMISSIONS OPEN) have been helping. Will post to my website, maybe tomorrow

Highly highly highly recommend tracing art of your characters onto shrinky dinks paper. I’m having far too much fun doing this. LOOK I MADE DAMIEN A CHOKING HAZARD HE’S ADORABLE Also credit goes to Ninja Togepi (COMMISSIONS OPEN) for the chibi Damien design

I was busy all day so I didn’t get to post this until now—but today is Damien vs. the Entrail Eater’s first birthday! My book’s been out for a whole year!

Currently reading Nightlight by The Harvard Lampoon. It’s the closest I will ever get to reading Twilight. I’m giving myself a deadline to finish it, that deadline being tomorrow, so I won’t have time to take notes and post a review. I might post some silly quotes though.

“My u-haul was snowed in, but fortunately I have arms—optimal for picking up huge amounts of snow and putting it elsewhere.” —Nightlight, by The Harvard Lampoon

Got called into work today so I wasn’t able to finish this by my self-imposed deadline. Oh well. I’ll still post quotes though.

“I tried to think of something friends ask each other. “‘Do you ever worry that your white blood cell count is lower than your other friends? I mean, yes, your immune system is fine, but is it *the best?*’” —Nightlight, by The Harvard Lampoon

“Nothing irks me more than a car parked in a loading zone.” —Nightlight, by The Harvard Lampoon

“I watched as Edwart disappeared into the fog, this time not in a magical way but in a loud, falling way, signifying that he had tripped over a gravestone.” —Nightlight, by The Harvard Lampoon

I usually structure my book reviews as intro/plot synopsis, then go through what I liked and didn’t like, rather than analyze how authors tackle character, plot, setting, and prose in the book. However with this next review I’ll have to do the latter.

At 391 pages, 96,400 words and nearly half a year of work, I finished the final draft manuscript for my debut novel SNOWSTORM! This has been a project four years in the making and I am genuinely so happy. Off to proofing and editing!
