Phew.

Chapter 2 is finished. This was a hurdle to be cleared for me: without being too specific, the chapter was basically a formal introduction to Clifton Storm, his associates, his facility, etc. It was hard to write this chapter and make it feel natural, y’know? In the grand hero-pulp tradition, future “issues” will have a page explaining all this info in a nut-shell, but first issues always have the full Monty.

I would have been done with this chapter sooner, but I had a tooth pulled last week and spent a few days watching TV with no inclination to write. Feeling much better now, thank you.

Now, it’s time to get into the meat, the real plot of the novel.

Heh heh heh.

Oh boy.

In other MARDL alumnus-news, Dave Flora’s “Tales Of The Revenant” is winding down from it’s first story arc… and gearing up for it’s second! This is a great time to jump on and experience the thrills and horrors of this excellent strip.)
