How many times has the world ended?

Here's an interesting graphic that gives you a quick timeline on how many times the world is supposed to have ended throughout history. I particulary like the one involving a chicken:

The End is Near

The Urchin - Jeff Stokely's take

Here's what Jeff Stokely did for The Urchin where Vance meets Johnny on the roof. Love Jeff's style. We both did some work on Fraggle Rock for Archaia Entertainment and the Henson Co., so we've done some convention signings together. Check out the portfolio on his website. Really good stuff.

You can download an ecopy of The Urchin on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, plus wherever fine ebooks are sold.

Glitter Kiss!!!!!

Glitter Kiss has Launched!

Yes, the fabulous project I've been working on with the talented illustrator, Monica Gallagher, is finally in stores! And online, of course. It turned out super-cute, if I do say so myself.

It's very sparkly and romantic, but with a few good life lessons tucked in there. (The gods know I can't help myself when it comes to that kind of thing.) Couldn't be happier with the book.

Jill Beaton was our mighty editor over there at Oni Press and she also did an amazing job.

Here it is on Amazon:

Too thrilled.

     Here's an action scene from The Urchin, illustrated by Russell Dauterman. I happened to see a glimpse of Russell's portfolio at Comic-Con one year and immediately struck up a conversation.
     I love in the third panel how Vance is shown through the drawn bow of Dave. Very clever, Russell.
     For more information on Russell and an indepth look at his art, view his website at:

     The Urchin is a full length novel about boys from an isolated boarding school who struggle for survival in the post-apocalypse as they battle their former teachers and classmates who have been transformed into vampires.

     It's about friendship, survival, betrayal and yes, there is even a romance told through Vance's backstory. If you're curious and would like to read the first chapter, go here.
     The Urchin is available on all ebook platforms for 99 cents.

Okay - I can't find any of the Fraggle illustrations, so here's a fire that happened a few months ago. Yes, we had to evaculate, no we were not harmed and suffered no damage beyond loss of a night's sleep.

Victoria Secret - The Auschwitz Collection

I ordered some comfy lilac stripe pajamas from Victoria Secret and was surprised to receive a pair of gray stripe pajamas instead. I called their customer service to straighten things out and was informed that they actually were the lilac that I ordered, they just looked gray. Something about the pjs really turned my stomach. I couldn't place why I would find such a simple article of clothing so off-putting. I showed them to my husband and asked "What do these remind you of? It's really bothering me." He replied without hesitation, "Why don't they just slap a yellow Star of David on those things? They look like what they made the prisoners wear in the concentration camps." He was right. That was exactly why they were bothering me, but I couldn't place it

There are very few iconic pajamas out there, good or bad, but I think if you are a designer of sleepwear, you should some sense of history. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but should Victoria Secret really be putting out an Auschwitz line? These are definitely going back to the store. Creepy, to say the least.
