I Want to Write My Secret Across Your Sky
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
Worlds are colliding. I’m working four jobs right now.
Ziraxia/Red Alert: The same, though I’m changing schedules next week to make Howl-O-Scream work better. We’re doing well. You should buy a shirt here :) Current Writing Gig: Stupidly behind, but almost done. I feel like crap for being late. If you see this, W, Sorry! Howl-O-Scream: Tuesday is dress rehearsal. House looks good this year. Come visit me in Club Muse! Third Eye Games: Doing the website, that’ll be moving here soon.
On top of all that? My mouth is a shambles. The braces I had as a child ate all the enamel off my teeth and now I’m paying for it. I have a root canal tomorrow afternoon. And thousands of dollars worth of work beyond that… With no insurance or idea where I’m going to get the money to pay for it all. Any rich uncles running around out there I don’t know about?
From horror to slapstick in one easy step.

Horror must be highly orchestrated. If anything is off, it can turn into comedy, and all the tension you’ve built up can disappear in a puff of smoke.
All they changed was the score.
A Song to Say Goodbye

My cat Groucho, my constant companion since he was a kitten 19 years ago, has been ill for a while. He lost a lot of weight over the last month. He’s been fading, despite my best efforts to help him gain weight, to recover. His whole life, he’s been a kitten. Playful. Loving. Last night I spent the entire evening writing with him in my lap or following me around the apartment as best as his wobbly, weak legs could carry him. I knew it was coming. I told him my goodbyes and made sure he knew how much I love him. This morning, I checked on him and he lifted his head up and meowed to me. I kissed his head and petted his purring flank, and went to work.
He passed away in his sleep this afternoon.
Farewell, little one. I miss you.
Coming Soon – Mekhet: Shadows in the Dark
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
Unnoticed and silent, they watch. Their eyes have seen a thousand secrets, and yours are no exception. They are the Shadows that dwell among the Kindred, and everyone knows that the darkness has eyes in the Danse Macabre. Seek their wisdom under cover of night, and discover what awaits the wise and the patient.
A Clan book for Vampire: the Requiem.
The cover is a placeholder, the real deal will be way more interesting, though if that’s who I think it is, she’s quite interesting in her own right. I didn’t write a huge amount of this, (only about 10%) but I’m really looking forward to its release, since they’re my favorite clan in Requiem and it will mark my first published work in the World of Darkness.
Refocusing
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
I have spent a large part of the last fifteen years celebrating the creativity and work of others. I remain immensely proud of Ex Libris Nocturnis and the things we did there. But it’s time to focus on my own creativity, along with my wonderful and talented fiancée and creative partner, Kat. Evil Spy has always been intended as the home of our collaborative efforts, and now it will focus on that.
It will have bits and bobs from the rest of our creative careers, but the main focus here will be on the things we do together.
