I just found out from Brian Freeman at Cemetery Dance that Midnight Mass will be shipping in the next 2-3 weeks!!!

Yet another wallpaper! I spent almost a whole day making this one up. I neglected to add the copyright stuff this time around, but I shouldn't have to tell you that this picture should remain here and maybe on some forum member's desktops. I don't want to see it as the background for some random guy's personal online photo album.

Um, some comments... I couldn't remember which way Jack's scars pointed, so just ignore it if they're backwards or whatever. This came from a photo (you can see below) of the pine barrens that I swiped from someone (you'd never know, though). Up in the sky are some giant bugs pouring out of a hole, and there are some balls of light flying around, and yeah, general Otherness creepy-type stuff going on.

I know the bugs were supposed to come out of a hole in the ground, but there was no room, and besides it looks kinda cool this way. Well, I hope your eyeballs enjoy (and this time I got the proportions right, so feel free to actually use this as a wallpaper!).

I love you, digital airbrush.



Here's the original picture. Many thanks to Mike Baker, whoever he is.

I was just thinking back to Legacies and wondered, are Jack's thumbnails still nice and long for...necessary occasions?

What limited/first editions are the collectors here most looking to find? I'm interested in knowing what's out there.

Is it possible to tell (without the gun as evidence) that two bullets fired into different people were fired from the same person's gun? Or would you just be able to tell they were shot by the same type of gun? OR are there any guns/ammo so rare that finding two people shot by that gun would almost certainly mean that they were shot by the same person?

Sorry if these questions sound stupid. I'm kicking around a story idea, but I know next to nothing about weapons.

I finished reading The Select last night. I may never go to a doctor or hospital again. Ever.

You've told us about your writing process, but what of your environment? Where do you write? time of day? music? What about your note-taking process? Are paper and pen within constant reach or do you rely on that steel-trap memory? Finally, and I know you're busy, but are you working on anything other than the RJ books?

What were some of the best scary scenes in FPW's fiction?

I just finished reading Sibs. Anyone but me think it was perhaps one of the most disturbing books you've ever read? I was floored. What a great book.

Okay, I seriously need to pay more attention to the many separate threads on this board.

So the new RJ novel is called Infernal, eh? Awesome!

And what's this I hear about The Last Rakosh and Others? Whatever happened to Aftershock and Others? Did I miss something (and I probably did)?

Just want to get the dilly for m'self.

Kudos.
