My alter ego has a book out. Horror Romance, anyone?



Want to summon a demon? Look no further!

Step 1. Ensure that you've built your city on an island they once ruled.

Step 2. Use the Crystal that bound them to the Underworld. (It's behind the Nine Thrones. You can't miss it.)

Step 3. Have a traitorous second-in-command who has summoned onebefore. Oh and *please* ignore your need for this person. It's wrong. You know it. I know it.

Follow the above steps to have an 18 foot, rancid-breathed demon at your command.

One thing I should mention, before you go to draw out the summoning pattern…

DO NOT let the demon take the Crystal from you. Really. I mean it. That'll get you into a whole world of trouble. Almost as bad as getting together with your former second-in-command. Which you are not
going to do... Are you?

Right, as long as that's understood… and oh…

Happy Summoning!

Ahh the joys of a website

My website decided to have a freak yesterday. Paragraphs were a thing of the past as were some of the links. I have a WYSIWYG web tool called Goldfish. It's very good for somethings, but generally hates text in clumps of more than a 100 words. Which is a bugger when I have excerpts *sigh*

I spent 12 hours on it. Then had to walk away before I through something at the screen. I sorted out a long term bug over one picture which came to me literally at the 11th hour. So very pleased about that.

I also have some news over at my other blog:

which is rather nice *grin*
