Bad Dreams: An Excerpt
The refrigerator thrummed its electrical song, unnaturally loud in the silence. Never before had the sound struck him as frightening; now it turned his bowels loose. That was the source of his apprehension: the refrigerator. A plain white box trimmed with chrome. His grimy fingerprints circled the handle. The dust is gone but the fingerprints…

End O Weekend
Just thoughts as the weekend winds down. I got very little work done, writing or artwork wise. I did stroll puppets at the Delaware Ave Street Fair, which was fun, and which was brutally hot. Yay, for a change I remembered sunscreen, otherwise my feet and arms would have been crisped. Doing that left me…

Commedia Del Bard
Combining a love of Shakespeare with the beloved style of Commedia Del Arte, my cronies and I came up with an idea to make a troupe of actors, 3 male, 3 female, and we would do shortened versions of Shakespeare’s plays (comedies, of course, a commedia del arte troupe doing Romeo and Juliet doesn’t work).…

Book promoting
I didn’t realize this until a book group I belong to on FB pointed it out; if you have an author page on Amazon, there is a like button. Supposedly, the more likes you garner, the more Amazon is likely to promote your book. I think this is a great idea so I’m throwing my…

Not today

Saturday I will be with John Koethen doing some puppeteering around the Delaware Ave Street festival, which is always a blast, combination festival and garage sale and lots of cool stuff to be seen.

And finally: The Overlord, and Azbaelus
The current Overlord has held the position for many centuries, and He has kept Hell tightly under HIs control. He has no specific sphere of influence, but rather oversees the other Princes and directs when and where, and how much, Evil flows into the Balance. This particular Overlord has never been seen except under a…

Next Prince: Azmodeus
Azmodeus, aka Asmodeus, aka Asmodai, appears in a lot of mythologies, often as the ruler of Hell, and of course he does nothing to dispel this notion. He is also known as the demon in charge of lust, and this much is true (although Hell’s rulership is not so clear-cut that every Prince has a…

Next Prince: Malefis
Malefis is enough of an enigma to warrant his own book. We meet him in 2, but most of his story will come out in 3. He has several names, including Old One, Fallen, Sorrow, and Singer. In appearance, he appears exactly as we have always imagined angels to look: so white he almost gleams,…
