Honored samurai, ruthless ronin, wayward vagabonds, shadowy ninja and helpless villagers... welcome.
Opening Volley
Since finishing and submitting “Dark Hour” to an anthology (approval/rejection sometime in September, I believe), I’ve returned to writing Cymurai. I have already established and roughdrafted several great and key scenes for a new minor character. It’s a great feeling to be back in the world. It’s going to be a while before I can release it (obviously), so don’t hold your breath.
Main Event
In the meantime, I do have something that you will be able to enjoy within the next month or so. I’m working on a “short story cum opening chapter” for a Vocal science fiction contest. (Vocal being where I post most of my work for free — your clicks literally put money in my pocket but cost you nothing but reading time. *hint hint wink nudge* See link below.) It’ll be free to read, as always. (Link in future issue.)
Until then, I need some killer images of abandoned and dangerous places like dungeons and palaces and far off worlds that evoke chills. Can be ANY genre as I’m just looking to be inspired by the creepiness of the image. If you have the time, reply with links, preferably to the artists’ site (credit where credit is due!). Here are a few that I found myself.

We never meet without parting
Next issue... Keep your fingers crossed for a link to the story (as its limited to 5000 words).
Until then!
