Week three of SPOOKTOBER GIVEAWAYS starts with a page from a NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD comic I was using as cover prototype/inspiration while assembling the bits and bobs of story to resemble a novel.
Please share if you can, your good buddy Dax would appreciate it.

Let me tell you some fun stuff about the writing of BEFORE THE DAWN and the other books in the Tales of the Century.
For starters, these current three books are actually the third iteration of this world that I've gone through. Is that nuts?

On the heels of that other picture, I had no Idea how much of my written word was actually handwritten word. Not until I started cleaning up a little.
I have so many more of these empty and waiting, you guys. Like, a ridiculous amount. I went on a spree at the Dolphin Mart when I was in Connecticut.

I fucking hate that "Common as a human language in a fantasy setting" thing, because this part that I snipped from the end? That shit's English. Somebody called it the "shower drain of languages," and it seems to fit to a tee the description shown in the snip.

There are two shirts on sale on other sites, and I'm not quite sure which one I think I like better. On the one hand, the cleaner one is cleaner and sharp and everything. But on the other hand, the grungy one feels more... authentic? I don't even know. Take a look.
