The Ships of Innsmouth print. Ten strange ship illustrations, drawn traditionally with ink) laid out on a page. A black and white border, similar to one you'd get in an atlas or on a map, surrounds the page.

The Ships of Innsmouth, my latest print, is available now…

I'll do a free little PDF guide to all the boats on this for anyone that buys a print.

Yes, it’s been troubling me as well:)

Loved the first one. A small budget made for a much more visceral crash scene.

Finally got around to booking for Eastercon this year. I'll be in the art show of course and possibly on a panel or two. More on that later. Hope to see you there.

Just off to the framers.

Impressed with the BBC’s adaptation of Lord of the Flies.

Nice shout out for Reality Rift by SciFi Scavenger, amongst other books he reviews. Publisher is Newcon press though, if you do fancy a copy:)

The irony here is that the one leader who is not mentioned in the E files is the one that's being brought down.

Life drawing sketches. Charcoal on paper. Half hour and ten minutes.

Congratulations to the winner of the Reality Rift prize draw, who chose the Breel portrait. Breel went off to her new home yesterday. If I get to Eastercon this year I'll hang the others in the art show.

Right, on with book 3.

It's pure greed. They are making money hand over fist in the short term and they just want...more.

They tried Tory lite but that didn’t work out so well. I mean, what else could they do…? Wait…

The collection so far. Deluxe edition, hardback and paperback. A big thank you to everyone who bought the books and Newcon press who believed in it enough to want to publish it. Book three, the final in the series, is in the works.

Reality Rift Prize draw
YouTube video by Fred Gambino Reality Rift Prize draw

If you bought the Deluxe edition of Reality Rift this is the video you've been waiting for. Congratulations to the winner, commiserations to those that didn't win this time.
A big thank you to everyone who bought the book in whatever format.

Interesting thread, especially the bit about similes future or fantasy people might use. Using a made up word that conjures a present day idea or taking a common phrase and transposing it so that it fits the world the characters are in is a fun way I try to do it.
