New Site: MUSIC AT MIDNIGHT

Well, my brand-new official Gemma Files homepage, Music at Midnight (created with Blogger, because I'm a Luddite) is now a go, here (http://musicatmidnight-gfiles.blogspot.com/). It comes attached to two more places: Dark is Better, where I'll eventually archive my uncollected fiction and also post new, unpublished fiction, too (http://darkisbetter.blogspot.com) and a direct link to the entire text of "The Emperor's Old Bones" (https://sites.google.com/site/theemperorsoldbones/), which I'm essentially offering as a litmus test: Do you like Gemma Files, Y/N? Because let's face it...if you read that and hate it hugely, I am most probably not for you, y'all. So bye-bye, and fly fly.

Anyhow. I need to go to bed--tomorrow, it's take Cal to Surrey Place, then mail the monster off to various people. Still 20,000 words over, but hell--as Steve points out--that's just a potential 1,000 to cut from each of its 22 chapters. Getting other people's fresh perspectives will really help with that, though, I can only think.

Dark is Better: "Dead Voices on Air"

The first uncollected story to be archived at Dark is Better is "Dead Voices on Air (A Landscape with Maps & Legends)". This piece was directly influenced by web-based storytelling like "The Dionaea House", as well as my own longstanding love of folk music and fairytales. It also introduces a bunch of my Five-Family Coven characters, who have since come to permeate the background of my Toronto the Weird universe.
