Election Day Update!
Happy Election Day, everyone in the US.
Anyone else tired of the constant political ads running everywhere lately? I, for one, will be SO glad when this election is over, if only to see the ads stop.
Naturally, so they can be replaced by early Christmas carols, right? *grins*
Book 2 is progressing along and we’re so excited that there’s still such good word of mouth out there about Minutes To Midnight! Keep it up, and I might just make a book trailer for it.

Happy Halloween! And Now For Something A Little Different…
Happy Halloween-ween, everyone!
So I wanted to do something special today for all of you and BEHOLD! An audio doth appear! If you like creepy. If you like E.A. Poe. If you need a little spooky fix for your Samhain plans, then look no further. And no…it’s not The Raven. Dragon thought it might be a nice little break from the novel and I just adore getting my Poe on!
As for us, we’re keeping it low key this year. Some good eats, some good movies, and a little creepiness amongst ourselves. Hell, I’ve already been drained and shocked via spooky Eeyore-clad nurse this morning. What else IS there to do? (Aside from terrorizing the Feline Mafia with costumery, that is.)
Have a safe and shivery Halloween!

(And to all our friends and fans on the East coast, hang in there! We’re glad you’re all okay!)

Minutes To Midnight, Chapter 21!
Got a fantastic comment here at the site that just made our morning! Thank you, Ben, for your kind words!
We’ve been keeping up with the stats on the podiobook version of Minutes and it’s hard to believe, but for the month of October alone we’ve been downloaded almost 500 times this month alone. Goodness.
Thank you, everyone!
Have a little Dirk to perk up your Tuesday.

Minutes To Midnight, Chapter 20, Up For A Listen!
It was a flurry of activity around here this weekend. Somewhere between Ikea runs and unexpected ER visits, we managed to get some more writing done on book 2. We may have to push the timeline back a month or so, from February 2013 to March 2013, but either way, we’re still working on it!
In the meantime, enjoy Chapter 20
