Adam Schmidt adds to our growing collection of art! Behold Ruin, doing what he does best! Is this the death of Martin? Or, perhaps, a scene from the end of Book III? One thing is certain. This is amazing work!

Toothless weighs in ...

Posted Fri, 08/21/2009 - 6:58pm by J. P. Moore

So, right now I'm working on the manuscript of this beast and, in between bouts against Microsoft Word, a) plotting a YouTube trailer, b) re-recording old episodes (pre-Snowball mic), and c) thinking about shopping the book around.

Some interesting stats: the manuscript's 24 chapters are 105,000 words, and roughly 420 pages--longer than I'd thought.

I'm also gearing up for researching and plotting my next project, which has the working title of The Centennial Horror. More on that soon!

Fans of Toothless: keep spreading the word!

Tortured beasts tangled in ropy vines pulled its massive wooden cart, just inches with each struggling step. They were mammoth, deformed beings with muscular legs and shoulders. Their faces twisted in pain and their mouths opened in silent roars.

His gray skin was riddled with white scars and his left eye was missing. A single horn, broken at the root, grew slightly aside from the center of his bald head. He wore nothing but a dented silver girdle over his groin. He held a mildew-stained parchment and a black quill.
