The Old Races Short Story Project patronage window is now closed. I’m doing an Old Races short story project throughout 2011. This project will deliver 6 Old Races short stories to its patrons. This, “The Death of Him”, is the fifth, and is a story of the selkies. I’m posting it a few days early (it’s due in October) because there’s already so much going on at the beginning of October. :) You can find teasers for the other stories here: Awakening, a story of the vampires set after the…
time is flying
How is it I leave for NYCC in just over 2 weeks? How is it the Kickstarter campaign is due to start Saturday? I must get this show on the road!

BatB & lists
GRRM reports there’s rumor of a Beauty and the Beast reboot. I will of course watch it if it happens, but back after I’d lost all hope of the TV show returning or seeing a big screen BatB, I knew how I would continue the story. Not with a reboot, but with Catherine and Vincent’s son Jacob (just because he was born apparently normal doesn’t mean he couldn’t get beastly at puberty or something), and with the daughters of Elliot Burch and Joe Maxwell discovering the world their fathers could…
