Yesterday, I wrote 1,142 words on the Frazetta vignette, which I am calling simply "Tempest Witch." I do know now, thanks to Steven Lubold, that the Frazetta painting in question first appeared as the cover of issue #7 of Eerie magazine back January 1967*. I would have been three years old. Anyway, I like how the piece is going.
Honestly, I haven't much else to say here today, unless I've forgotten something. I would like to again thank the many donors to the "Spooky's Birthday Present Fund." And remind you that there are eBay auctions ongoing. And that Spooky has some very nice sea-glass pendants available through her Etsy shop, Dreaming Squid Dollworks.
Also, not too late to order the trade hardback of The Ammonite Violin & Others, though the limited edition is sold out.
* A little more research indicates the painting was done in 1966, and was originally title "Sea Witch" The version of the painting that appeared on the cover of Eerie no longer exists, as Frazetta reworked the painting later in life (he frequently did this with his paintings).

I'm so glad I can finally subscribe. I think the idea of the digest is genius for providing an income for you between novels. I love that the subscription fees go straight to you without a publishing house taking a giant bite out of it. Also, glad to do my part to placate the space pirates.
I hope you do well with the auctions and Spooky's pendants.

Thank you. Truly, it's saved us the last four years.
I agree! It's like getting to belong to the Robert Musil Society, without the drawbacks :)
Thanks for the reminder. I just ordered it.
