Oh nelly, it’s really happening!
Babylon, the follow-up to Eden, will have it’s first-ish draft done in 2 weeks. I am taking the rest of my vacation time to finish it and there’s no stopping me now! (I say “ish” because the manuscript has been the victim of stops & starts, so it’s quite a polished 1st draft)
Sorry about the radio silence – I’m still deciding what to do with this blog. For now, I think it best I leave it to announcements and updates and we’ll go from there. Just as “a soul without aim loses itself” (Father Callahan, Eden… or, Michel de Montaigne depending on who you ask), so too — a blog without purpose gets lost. For now, updates!
And we certainly do have a treat today. The first bit of artwork for Babylon is rolling off the presses from the incomparable Axel Torvenius. I’ll be hounding my #2 for a trailer soonish. You saw Erzulie in Eden’s trailer, expect another leading lady for Babylon. For now, let’s start at the start:

Matt, I’m constantly impressed by the way your your initiative, energy, and personality comes through via your blog posts. You inspire the kind of confidence that I believe will accompany success. Best of luck in everything. Chuck
Forgot to add, I agree, the artwork is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing more.
Awww shucks — thanks!
