The Sharpesvale Chronicles

I mean, it's a stupid thing to be working on before the book is even finished...

...but man, for Serial Adultery I spent so damn long fixing mistakes on that cover. It was one of the first things I made, and it was the last thing I was still editing three months later.

Soooooo.



I've got about two hundred and forty pages and a few dozen of the... roughly... eighty illustrations it'll have in it.

It's gonna be quite a bit longer than the last one.

And better.

(Serial Adultery is still pretty good, I think.)

...is worth three... birds... in a book?

There are three birds in my book.

There might be more than three.

The book's not really about birds.

But it is in my hand!



I'm having trouble putting it down.

Pick it up yourself, in paperback or Kindle edition!

It's the ninth anniversary of Chapter Nine.

Chapter Nine is the last chapter adapted in Serial Adultery.

Serial Adultery came out today!

There's a revision pending to correct a single, solitary typo, so I'm not gonna link the book until the revision goes through.

The Kindle version is available now, typo included. The print version is still in review.

I'll keep you posted.

:D

The print proof is in the mail and the final formatting is... finalized?

So have this celebratory no-additional-information promotional image.

SOON



The way she inhabits every picture I do of her is appropriately terrifying.

Maybe it's not healthy to be inhabiting the minds of all these loonies so often.

BUT WHAT COULD GO WRONG

Link to a bigger picture of a teenage serial killer who haunts my nightmares

Maybe she'll haunt you now instead.

So, here's something straight out of left field:

I've written a novel.

It's an adaptation of the first nine chapters or so of the Chronicles, and it's called Serial Adultery. For maximum hubris I've declared it Book 1 of a series called A Symphony of Sex and Death, which should shame me into continuing to write for some time.

More fun with Inkscape.

This one I'm super proud of. I'm not really tracing anymore.

Colour, too! So much colour.



There's a bigger version of this one as well.

Might not post any more of these, because this is the best one anyway.

Uh, so here's something.

I found a vector art program that adds some drag to the pen tool so I don't constantly overthink my strokes and it doesn't matter that my hands aren't steady and uh apparently I can sort of pseudo-draw now. Only sort of, in very specific circumstances, but it's a nice feeling.

It's called Inkscape, it's freeware, and I think I'm going to do something I've never done with freeware before: thank them with actual money.

'cuz this was a lot of fun:



If you're thinking "that was probably traced on top of a screenshot," well no fucking duh. I'm still happy with it. And after all, I took the damn screenshot.

There's a good chance you'll never know what prompted me to draw this, and a bunch of others, but hey.

Maybe I'll post more at some point.

Maybe I won't?

Link to a bigger version, as if you'd want that. It's way bigger than its intended size, so it'll look worse, because it's almost certainly got a few layers in the wrong order.

THE CHRONICLES WILL CONTINUE. I've just been busy.
