The last page of the St. Jude Family Christmas Album is up – Nutcracker. I hope everyone’s having a good Christmas!

The sixth album page, Chessmen is up. No picture for it yet, but I have added a seventh page to the roster, which I’ll post tomorrow – and I promise to have a picture for that one when it goes up. It’s kind of funny – I seem to make my writing deadlines easily enough, often finishing them early, but I guess missing my art deadlines offsets that, lol.

Anyway, I hope everyone’s having a good holiday season, and the last album page will be up tomorrow.

I added two more pages to the St. Jude Family Christmas Album. Tree and Hot Chocolate are now up. I was able to get the accompanying pictures up for Tree, but I wasn’t able to complete the graphic for Hot Chocolate yet, and will add that at a later time. Cards is still missing its picture too – right now I’ve got relative visiting for the holidays, and work is really busy too, so I don’t haven’t had time to do everything I’d like to. They will be added in the near future though – I need the practice at drawing, though I am particularly pleased with the way that the clockwork hummingbird came out. Since I haven’t put a picture in one of my posts in awhile, I’ve decided to include it here, to help make my website look festive.

I just posted two more pages of the St. Jude Family Christmas Album: Cards and Cookies. The file for the picture that goes along with Cards got corrupted, so I’ll be putting that image up later, once I get a chance to fix it, but the pictures that go with Cookies are working fine and have been posted.

Next up: Tree. Anyone who liked the description of how Abdiel remodeled his kitchen should enjoy this one.

I’ve begun posting my newest short story: The St. Jude Family Christmas Album. This is actually a series of 6 vignettes about different events during the first Christmas Eden and Abdiel have spent together since their mother died, 13 years ago. Each page contains a picture or two, and the accompanying text puts it into perspective. Up first: Decorations.

The last chapter of Tarot Killer, Chapter 11, is now up, as well as the Epilogue.

Right now I’m working on Demon’s Nest (Gargoyle Legend 3) and a short story in which Eden and Abdiel celebrate their first Christmas together, which I’ll be posting later this month. I’ll be pretty busy for the rest of December, but in 2010 I hope to add a lot more content to my website, including several more stories that tie in with my Gargoyle Legends, a longer and slightly trippy work that I’ll be serializing light novel style, some more art work, and info about the next two upcoming Gargoyle Legends that I’ll be releasing next year.

I hope you enjoyed reading Tarot Killer, and that you’ll check back soon to see what’s new.

I just got Chapter 10 of Tarot Killer posted. Next week I’ll be putting up the last installment of the story, and some info about my next piece of short fiction.

Happy Thanksgiving! In celebration of the holiday, I drew this clockwork turkey. It gave me a chance to practice/attempt some steampunk art. If you click on it, then click on it again, when it takes you to the image, you can see a larger version of it. The gears and rivets don’t really show up when it’s scaled down this much.

Also, Chapter 9 of Tarot Killer is now up. After spending the holiday with your inlaws, or after coming home from the madness that is Black Friday shopping, it can be quite cathartic to read about people being ritualistically murdered.

I just got Chapter 8 of Tarot Killer posted. I’m aiming to get Chapter 9 up next Friday.

Also, many thanks to everyone who’s purchased or ordered a copy of Grotesque Game. I hope you all enjoy the second book as much as the first!

The second book in my Gargoyle Legends series, Grotesque Game, is now available for order from most major bookstores. It can also be purchased from major online retailers like barnesandnoble.com and Amazon. I’m aiming for a May 2010 release for the third book.

Also, Chapter 7 of Tarot Killer has been posted. Only a few more chapters left to go.
