So you’ve all probably noticed – I mean you better have noticed – that I’ve changed the website design.  It still echoes the original design, but I definitely like this one a lot better, for the contrast between color and black and white, and the not-so blocky style.  The main reason for this change was to unite the blog with the main site, and to start using Wordpress to update everything, which makes my life a lot easier.  Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the new layout!

Greetings all…

A whole slew of new concept art has been posted to the illustrations section, including the second full-scale illustration, which shows the bogeys attacking Daywatch and the effects of the Blight. The contrast between this image and the “Fun in Daywatch” image sets the tone for the novel.

In other news, I am working on the first Tale from the Land of Nou, tentatively titled Poguri and the Great Freeze, which I hope to have complete by October 15th, in time for a writer’s event being hosted by Philadelphia Stories, as well as another meeting of Jabberwocky – a small writers’ critique group.

Based on the feedback I receive from these two events, I hope to be able to put Poguri on the [not-so] fast-track towards publication. For the few of you out there actually following this thing, you may be happy to know that Poguri and the Great Freeze will be posted on the website once it is complete. The Tales are not intended to generate any kind of profit for me, but to help me flesh out the Poguri universe and to familiarize all of you out there with the characters and setting. So I’ll be looking forward to your feedback as well. Well, that’s all for now. Stay tuned for the next Pogress Report and other information from the Land of Nou…
