Song of the Week

Nikki Day, “the architect’s daughter”

Good morning!

I expected the Book Gymboree to be a bit chaotic, with so many authors there, but it ended up being lovely. I was at a table next to Nikki Day, a singer/songwriter and poet, so I’m sharing one of her songs with you! I hope you enjoy.

There are ten more pages of Last Watch Before Dawn remaining. Two of them will go up this week. The end is in sight. I’ve replaced the battery in my tablet pen twice since I started, and I should have replaced the nib a long time ago, but I’ve got some more on the way.

In the meantime, here are some petitions:

Via The Swarm: Stop ICE from blinding and injuring peaceful protestors

Via Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition: Demand a full and transparent investigation into ICE killing

Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump’s illegal boat strikes

That’s all for today. Thanks for being here, and stop by again soon!

Renee Christine, “The Body and the Blood”

Good morning!

Chapter Five of Last Watch Before Dawn begins tomorrow! I am busy drawing a town and hating every minute of it. Buildings are both difficult and boring to draw, especially in groups. Regardless, new pages will be up Tuesday and Friday.

I’m headed out to a book fair on the 15th! The Book Gymboree is organized by Wisconsin author AJ West, and it will take place at the RecPlex in Pleasant Prairie. Admission is free, and there are more than 40 authors who will be in attendance, so you’ll be sure to find your next favorite book!

A couple of petitions:

Via Win Without War: No funds for Trump’s wars

Via Civic Shout: Stop the illegal boat strikes

Via No Business with Genocide: Support peace, accountability, and human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Thanks for being here. Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon.
