Edible Raven Magazine

It's here! The Edible Raven magazine is now on MagCloud. The two stories, The Curious Curse and The Divine Library, will hopefully be a fun read, a little nonsense diversion for the day. They are definitely influenced by my favorite writer Edward Gorey.
A 5-Star rating for the Edible Raven's eye-candy. The illustrations by Pamela McCarville are fantastic. I love the one of the Curse in the hearse with Finn sitting on a stack of pies. Then I need every single knick-knack in the Divine Library

Hellboy Volume 9: The Wild Hunt by Mike Mignola

I was so excited when I saw that there was a new Hellboy volume out and I was not disappointed. The story starts out with the Giants of London awakening followed by the Queen of Blood, who of course wants to destroy all humanity. We see how past characters and mythology start to tie together and then Mignola adds in a King Arthur twist that was most excellent. Can't wait until volume 10.
P.S. Also enjoyed the Duncan Fegredo gallery at the end of the book and his "Wow, gorgeous...Why?"

Weekly Kitty Fix - My Orange

That's right, it is my orange and don't even think about taking it.

Book Four of The Dresden Files: Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

Not a good time for our favorite wizard detective. His girl friend has left town to deal with an identity crisis, the Red Court of vampires wants his head, and the white council is all too eager to deliver it to them. Just when it seemed things could not get worse, the Winter Knight is murdered and the Winter Queen of Faerie comes to Dresden to figure out who-dun-it. As it turns out, you don't really have a choice when a Queen of Faerie offers you a job, you take it. No pressure though. If D...

Weekly Kitty Fix - Sinks Part 2

Last week's kitty fix highlighted Hansel and Gretel's bathroom sink installation skills and this week's shows that they also excel at putting in kitchen sinks.

I'm not sure on this side, do you think there is enough room Hansel? Hmmm, I don't recall being able to see down here before. Oh yeah, plenty of room. Things going okay down there Dad? What do you mean this is going to delay dinner?!? This is going to be much easier to drink from. Are you sure we can't eat now? Just making sure things are...

Fables Volume 10: The Good Prince by Bill Willingham

Don't hold me to it because perhaps I overlooked a demise of a Fable or two in the 228 pages, but this may be the first in the series where we don't flat wipe out 20 of them during the duration of the graphic novel. Fables Volume 10: The Good Prince centers around Flycatcher, the janitor prince, regaining his memory of the execution of his family. With the assistance of the Forsworn Knight and other Fable Ghosts, Flycatcher makes his way back into the Homelands where he must defeat the...

Weekly Kitty Fix - Sinks Part 1

My husband was on vacation last week, but we dubbed it a sinkation with the replacing of two bathroom sinks along with one kitchen sink in addition to a few other home improvement projects.
As you can see though, he had lots of great help.

I am not sure about this piece over here, what do you think? I'll hold it down while you fit it in. Hmmm, I think I might like it more without the sink. Okay, here is what needs to happen now. Just having a little trouble reaching it down here. Alright, now we...

Another sneak peak of The Divine Library

Getting very excited for the launch of the Edible Raven magazine which is now just weeks away vs. months. Here is the first page of The Divine Library, love the illustrations!
