Yeah, boring stuff, sort of.
Actually, not so much. First off, I found a new background for my “Villanelle” poem that I’m really happy with. My friend Caroline Cicero, who lives out in Malibu, caught a beautiful sunrise coming up over the Santa Monica mountains, and she gave me permission to use it with the poem. I finally made time to but the image and words together and get it on a webpage for uploading. So, this is the unveiling of the updated version. I’m so pleased with it because Caroline’s photo capture more the imagery I wanted that the previous version did (which had actually used a sunset picture).
Throughout the website, the basic header for the site has been updated, along with the navigation buttons being replaced by basic text links. The copyright information has been updated as well.
Now that the structure overhaul is completed, I can get back to adding material more regularly. I hope to add more poetry soon, as well as a new featured article (a Charles Williams paper I gave at Mythcon some time ago). Down the road, I plan on writing some articles specifically for the website.
Additionally, as I mentioned before, I’ll be adding my Zazzle store to the Gallery. I’ve been coloring some of my old Mythlore artwork for the fun of it, and intend to offer many of the pieces on blank notecards (at the very least). If you’d like to see the art on other items as well, do let me know! You can see some of the things I’ve done so far over on my LiveJournal.
UPDATE TO EVENTS MENTION – in the previous post, I mentioned the GLAWS event next month, featureing Harry Turtledove and Tim Powers. Unfortunately, Tim has had to bow out of the February Special Speaker Event. In his place, author Barbara Hambly will be joining Harry to talk about researching for your novel. As a former Jeopardy! researcher, I get to moderate and toss in my two cents worth of advice as well. It should be a fun afternoon for writers, and I hope you consider coming.
