This Blog is Almost 20 Years Old

by

Can you believe it? Almost 20? WOW! I had to go look up how long blogs have been around and found they started in 1994. That’s 10 years before I started this one. It was originally on the free WordPress site and then I created my own website. I tried a few other sites like Blogger, but WordPress has been my choice of website/blog tools most years.

Now that I’ve completely and totally bored you with technology talk, let me introduce this week’s artwork. This is called Drifting In or Floating In. Done for my Drawing I class, so it’s a photo of an old school piece that was done with ink and black watercolor. I don’t remember the exact assignment though. I think it had to do with foreground and background landscapes.

Unfortunately, there is a delay on the release of the new editions of Angels Dark and Dumb. Going day-to-day at the moment, still working on the new, improved covers. Until further notice, Warrant for Damnation will remain free upon request. While it is more than worth the wait for the new covers, I’m starting to feel like a kid at Christmas. LOL! At my age, I guess it’s a good thing.

The only other big news is that I finished the blog post I mentioned a few weeks ago about remaking the Angels Dark and Dumb. The Remaking of a Fiction Series and Why You Should Consider Remaking Yours is live on the ArmLin House blog, which is my media company’s website. You will find it particularly interesting if you are also a fiction writer.

That is all this week…talk to ya next week…

Improved Covers on the Way

Azael the Fallen Angel in the Angels Dark and Dumb Series

I’m really starting to enjoy writing these weekly reports. This weeks should be short though. While I had a very busy week, it was filled with communications with my Angels Dark and Dumb cover artist, R L Treadway at Atrtink, who has been creating my covers for years. She does the amazing character drawings for me as well. This is Azael, who is the antagonist in Fall for Freedom, Warrant for Damnation, and Cause for Redemption along with Margery the Demon. Besides changing the series name, she’ll be doing a minor overhaul of my covers to make them more colorful. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. I highly suggest her if you need any kind of artwork.

Anyway, I learned that changing the name of a series requires the publication of a new edition. So, yes, I’ll be doing this for the 3rd time. Figure I’ll rewrite descriptions and do all the work needed to refresh the series too, which means it’ll take a few weeks to publish Warrant for Damnation along with the others.

In other news, I created a Deviant Art account @meanwinniejean. Drop by and watch me. I’m hoping to upload all in the Ladies of Horror this week.

And finally, I posted an interview with myself on my company blog under my real name. Go to Interview with Wendy Spurlin, Founder of ArmLin House to learn more about the real me.

I guess this wasn’t as short as I expected. Have a great week!
