    A moment to remember an actor

    W. Morgan Sheppard was an actor who appeared in many genre movies and TV series. Star Trek, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, even anime voice acting. However, the role I best remember him for was in the 1980's TV series Max Headroom, where he played Blank Reg. Reg was an aging punk rocker running a tiny pirate TV station from a caravan parked on the outskirts of the city. He was one of the best characters

    Well, *that* month was hellish. Let's try not to do that again.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm alive, the car is fixed, the mortgage paid, and bank account looking a bit more positive. Let's hope I don't have to go through quite so much stress for the next few months at least. Which brings us back to the question I'm sure is on the minds of my small cadre of loyal readers:

    When the heck is the next chapter coming?

    What's the story, JD?

    Hi everyone,

    So, you're probably wondering what's taking so damn long with the next chapter. Well, to put it simply, life happened. I ran into a money crunch combined with a bunch of new expenses. I've actually taken to driving a ride share to earn extra cash, and it was working out really well...till the AC compressor in my car blew.

    Yes, I'm still alive.

    Hi everyone.

    I know you all haven't heard from me in a bit, but rest assured that I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. I just had a whole bunch of grownup problems hit in the last couple of months and it's left me no time to do any writing.

    Just hang on a bit longer. Once I get through chapter 8, it'll get a lot easier for me in terms of moving the story along.

Rebuilding now has a cover... · 10:35pm Feb 10th, 2018

And what a cover it is!

Thanks so much to Little Tigress for putting up with my persnickety details and for realizing my cover concept so well!

I love pretty much everything about it. Little Tigress did a great job.

Twillight's frantic expression and Trixie's mischievous smile yes indeed they did.

I had a whole lot of very specific instructions for the artist. My initial description was that Twilight has to have the air of a mother on the edge of a nervous breakdown. She’s galloping after these two while trying to read that spell book. Trixie had to be running with a huge smile and not looking where she’s going, as if she’s flying on a cloud of pure glee. Starlight is trying to help Twilight catch her, but Trixie just changed direction, and so Starlight is just beginning to change direction as she yells at her to stop.

Each character is interacting in some way, each on their own plane in the foreground, mid-ground, and background. Trixie is running without care, Starlight is chasing Trixie, and Twilight is chasing them both. The picture actually tells a story.
