Spooky Season

Posted on by admin

Hi there everyone! Normally, I use Mulder saying “Do you think I’m spooky?” but this image popped up on my tumblr dash and I had to switch it up. First, thank you everyone who signed up for my newsletter at Rose City Comic Con. 

If you are new here, here’s a run down of what I’m working on/what you might be looking for. 

  • The City Between is my webcomic about werewolves in the future. It updates Wednesdays. The current story is titled Glass Diamonds. It is free to read on my website, or you can follow my patreon to get it emailed to you. 
  • Blue Moon is a werewolf romance graphic novel I’m writing and Meredith McClaren is going to draw. 
  • Cautionary Fables and Fairytales is a kid-friendly folklore anthology series I edit and organize for Iron Circus Comics. 
  • You are the Chosen One is a fantasy comic that is exclusive to my patreon but is currently on hold until I’ve gotten a few other things off my plate. 


I have two day jobs. One is as an editor for Seven Seas, so I’ll occasionally share manga I’m editing for them. I’m also the managing editor at Iron Circus Comics. I like folklore, fantasy, and especially like werewolves.

I’m doing Saturday movie afternoons in my Discord. They are always Saturday at 11 am PST if you want to join over lunch. This month is gonna be all werewolf movies! Hop in if you want to join. 

We are watching Wolf (1994) on October 11 and then the OG Wolfman movie on October 25th. 

I’m skipping October 18th because I will be a guest on the World Anvil livestream. So if you’d like to join me live, you can watch here:

I’ll be talking about worldbuilding, comics, and werewolves!

And as usual, I’ll be streaming. 

Everything else will be the streaming schedule:

  • Tuesday at 8pm – 10pm PST – Art times
  • Wednesday at 4pm – 6pm PST – Art times
  • Sunday at 8pm – 10pm PST – Baldur’s Gate 3

Join me on my twitch!

A lot of my last month was me prepping Iron Circus’s book announcements for next year. Basically, Iron Circus uses a distributor Ingram. They tell bookstores about titles roughly a year in advanced. So before October 1st, I have to gather a bunch of marketing info and sample pages for every book the Iron Circus wants to put out between October 2026 – March 2027. We got some qood stuff coming out then. 

I had laser eye surgery two weeks ago. They are healing up nicely. I’ve been asked a lot of questions about it. So I might make a small q&a comic about it. Healing was pretty quick, so I’m already back to work. Right now I’m focusing on finishing up Blue Moon’s script so Meredith can start drawing it. I need finish that before I make any q&a comics. 

Last month, I saw Perfect Blue for the first time. Before watching it, I knew who the director was, it was about a singer having a breakdown, and that Black Swan is frequently accused of ripping it off. Overall, I liked it. Which didn’t surprise me, because I like most stuff by Satoshi Kon. It did however, make me think about why people say Black Swan rips it off. Both movies are very good and surrealist movies about a female performer cracking under pres. But they have very different things about performance. It left me thinking people aren’t looking deeper than the very surface on two very good films. 

Another movie watched in my discord this month was My Cousin Vinny. This one, before watching it, I had only known about that end scene where Mona Lisa explains car details. I see why that clip gets pass around. In general, Mona Lisa steals the show in the movie. The movie started a bit slow and at Vinny’s incompetence got on my nerves at first. But I liked when Vinny started cross examining witnesses and as I said, Mona Lisa stole every scene she was in.

I was a big fan of Owl House while it aired. So I immediately checked out The Knights of Guinevere when the pilot dropped on youtube. If you haven’t watched it, there is an interesting exploration of the complicated feelings someone might have for a big corperation like Disney. It gives people comfort and inspires the young, but actually working for them can be crushing/cruel to the feelings it originally inspired. I’m really looking forward to seeing where the show goes.

Most of the books I read this month were part of my reread of the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. The newest book, Silver and Lead, came out last week and I devoured it as soon as it dropped. This is book 19 in the series, so I can’t say too much without spoiling earlier books in the series. But I couldn’t put it down and accidentally stayed up until 3am.  

Lastly, while healing up for surgery, I watched an interesting video about the complicated relationship between the Irish and Irish Americans. It looks into how both sides use a simplified version of Ireland for profit and pushing different political ideas. And it digs into the various historical factors that lead to where things are now. I’d recommend folks give it a listen, because it was fascinating. 

Thanks everyone. Have a good month. And take care of yourself!
