Eclipsians – Children of the Light Engine

Their metabolism is synchronised to total eclipses—each celestial alignment is a heartbe...

Thanks for sharing these book club scams, J. Austin Gentry!

J. Austin Gentry

I have had a rash of book club people contacting me out of the blue. Maybe some are legit, but it's unlikely.

J. Austin Gentry, thank you for reminding us to be prudent. It's sometimes easy to miss the red flags between flattering endorsements.

Happy Halloween

Continuing the tribute. Here is a job I did for a Halloween event. A tribute to the great movie monster classics of the 30s and the 40s. Shout out to Karloff, Lugosi and Chaney Jr., and to the great filmmakers such as Murnau, Whale and Browning. Those films were visually stunning and full of atmosphere and tone. Happy Halloween!

Rich Terdoslavich

Thank you, Maurice.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Rich Terdoslavich. Happy Halloween.
