I promised you a page on Friday, and you will get a page on Friday!

Tori Amos, “Winter”
Good morning!
I had a lovely time at What the Hex yesterday and Story Keepers Books on Saturday! Thank you to everyone who braved the cold. I think I’ll be taking a bit of a break from events for a couple of months, but I will keep you posted.
I’m working on another page of Last Watch Before Dawn, which will be up tomorrow! Someday I will learn how to manage my time enough to maintain a backlog of content for you, but not today.
A couple of petitions for today:
Via National Campaign for Justice: Demand Congress investigate, expose, and hold ICE accountable now
Via Win Without War: Pass the West Bank Violence Prevention Act
Via the Juggernaut Project: Save our healthcare
I’ll be back tomorrow! In the meantime, stay warm, and have an excellent week.

Total number of times Photoshop crashed while I worked on this page: 5
Times Photoshop crashed, taking Windows out with it, while I worked on this page: 3
I learned an important lesson about saving one’s work frequently.
On to the page!

Here’s a preview!
You can find the whole thing here. To see it, you’ll need to be a paid Patreon member ($3 a month) or to purchase the post ($3 one time). If you can do either of those things, I really appreciate the support! If not, don’t worry: regular pages will resume on Friday, and you’ll be able to see this drawing in the eventual print version of the comic.
Song of the Week
Queens of the Stone Age, “No One Knows”
I apologize for the video thumbnail staring into your soul.
I’ll have some Bonus Art for you tomorrow on Patreon, and a new page of Last Watch Before Dawn by the end of the week. I’ve just finished the first “chapter,” and we’re moving on to meeting some new characters next.
This weekend, I will be out and about! Story Keepers Books is having their first anniversary sale this weekend, and they’ve invited some local authors to help celebrate. I’ll be there on Saturday from 10 until noon: 7035 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, WI.
On Sunday, I’ll be at the final What the Hex for the year, noon until 5 at Dresden Castle on Underwood, Cudahy, WI. Entry is $3, and gets you access to a whole market of artists, craftspeople, and readers, as well as free workshops and performances!
I’ll be back to remind you about these events later this week.
Also, a reminder: paperbacks are still on sale through the end of the year!
A few petitions for today:
Via More Perfect Union: Protect affordable healthcare
Via Avaaz: Free Dr. Abu Safiya
Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump from bombing Venezuela
Via CHN Action: Reverse SNAP cuts
I think that’s all for today. Stay warm, and stop by again soon!
Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 9
As usual, I’m the proverbial day late and dollar short, but here it is! This concludes the first chapter. We’ll do bonus art next Tuesday, and the next page (starting the next chapter) should be out next Friday.
Now I’m off to make pie.

Wilsen, “Sirens”
Good morning!
Brief catch-up in case you missed it: The Book of the New Moon Door is showing up on various audiobook platforms, and paperbacks of all my books are on sale until the end of the year.
I’ll have another page of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow. It will be the last page of this first chapter, so next up will be some bonus art, and then we’ll be moving onward and forward and meeting some new characters! I’ll try to get the bonus art out later this week, but you may have to give me some grace around the impending holiday. I have so many pies to make. Going forward, I am going to try to stick to a posting schedule of Tuesdays and Fridays with (hopefully) minimal interruptions.
A couple of petitions:
Via CHN Action: Demand Congress reverse SNAP cuts
Via the Workers Circle: Shut down Alligator Alcatraz
Via No Business With Genocide: Stop the UAE from fueling genocide in Sudan
I’ll be back soon with more comic. In the meantime, take care and stay warm, and I hope you have plenty to eat whether or not you’re observing Thanksgiving.
Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 8
It’s 4:30 on Friday, but I did it! Two pages before the end of the week!
Below the cut to spare your data:

From now through the end of the year, you can purchase each of my books in paperback directly from the printer at a discounted rate!
Get Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea (super gay sword-and-sorcery) for $12/£10 (down from $14.99)
Get Journey to the Water (super gay sword-and-sorcery, part two) for $15/£12 (down from $19.99)
In addition to giving you the sale price, using these links also gives me a slightly better cut than I’d get from a retailer like Amazon. I hope this helps a bit with your holiday shopping!
Also, if the audio of The Book of the New Moon Door disappeared from your preferred audiobook source, it should be back shortly. There was an error in one of the files, and I believe I have fixed it.
