Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
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.
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!
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.

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.
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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 8”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.
Here it is! Let’s see if I can do another one before the week is out.

Good morning!
I had a lovely time at Story Keepers Books on Saturday. I love meeting readers the best, but I often meet other authors, and since I’ve been doing this for a little while, sometimes they ask me about independent publishing. This happens often enough that I think IngramSpark should give me a sponsorship for all the free advertising I’m giving them.
Even though they definitely won’t, I can still answer your questions. I’m mostly making things up as I go along, but I did finish three books and get them out into the world, so I guess I know something? Comments are open, in any case.
My goal for this week is to finish the next page of Last Watch Before Dawn today or tomorrow and finish another page by Friday. We’ll see how it goes.
Some petitions:
Via Save the Children: Speak up for Afghanistan’s children
Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump’s anti-trans passport rule
Via Win Without War: No US arms to the Israeli government
Via Eko: Stop arms for genocide in Sudan
That’s it for now. Thanks for being here, and stop by again soon!
Making progress! There must be a better way to format speech bubbles, but I have yet to discover it.

Good morning!
In case you missed it, The Book of the New Moon Door is now available on more audiobook platforms. It may also be available from your library’s digital catalogue! If it’s not, you can always request to be notified if and when it’s available. If enough people do that, the library will buy a copy.
I’m working on another page of Last Watch Before Dawn, and I should have it ready by Wednesday. I’m hoping to get to a pace of two or more pages per week, so as to finish the first volume before the heat death of the universe.
On Saturday, I’ll be at Story Keepers Books in West Allis, WI for a Meet the Author event! The address is 7035 W Greenfield Ave, and the event runs from noon until 3. Bring books for me to sign! The shop has a few, also. More information can be found here.
A couple of petitions:
Via Women’s March: Abolish ICE
Via IfNotNow: Stop home demolitions in Umm al-Khair
Via CHN Action: Governors must demand SNAP funding
Via Civic Shout: Call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan
That’s all I have for today! I’ll be back later with more comic, and I hope to see you at the bookshop on Saturday.
