Feathers and Frost – Page 4
June 7th, 2011Page 4 of Feathers and Frost is up. Brittany and I have returned from the back-to-back insanity that was doing Balticon and then HeroesCon. Both conventions were fantastic, but I haven’t had a chance to write up a con report yet. I’m still trying to dig myself out of the backlog that built up while we were gone for two weeks. I’ll do my best to have something up later this week.
Almanac – Hot Toddy
June 5th, 2011This week’s almanac entry explores the hot toddy. This mixed drink appeared in page 1 of Feathers and Frost. It’s a delicious drink in cold weather, which it often is in Sherbourg, but it could be made iced for the summer months.
Brittany and I are down at HeroesCon this weekend. It’s been a great show so far. I’ll post a con report when I get back.

May 31st, 2011Page 3 of Feathers and Frost is up. Eric Schneider continues to amaze me with his work.
Balticon was a fantastic experience for Brittany and me. We were in the Artists’ Alley which was right outside the main ballroom and in the hall that lead to the con suite. You couldn’t ask for better placement. We met with hundreds of sci-fi and fantasy fans and got to spread the word about Snow by Night. We met some great webcomic creators too. It was quite the list. Barb Fischer and Chris Impink have a great comic about roller-derby girls named Sledgebunny. Travis Surber tells of geeks living in a redneck town in Hainted Holler. Eric Kimball tells the story of a very unusual barbarian in Exiern, Elaine Corvidae terrifies me with her futuristic horror in Riven Sol. And our good friend Jennifer Zyren Smith continues her adventures on the high seas in LaSalle’s Legacy.
Whew. One con down and it’s off to another. Brit and I are heading down to Charlotte for HeroesCon this weekend. HeroesCon is a comic book convention that has a strong indie focus. I’m hoping to meet a lot of great fans and creators while I’m down there. If you’re coming to the convention, please come by and say hello. We’re at table SP-45.

The second page of Feathers and Frost is up. Winter makes his appearance and nothing will be the same.
Only two days to Balticon. Brit and I are attending. We’ll have a table in the dealers room, where we will have promo books and some of the cutest buttons you’ve ever seen. I’ll be on a panel on Friday night at 7 pm to discuss making a graphic novel web comic. Please stop by if you’re attending.
Almanac – Victualers’ Guild
May 22nd, 2011This week the Almanac discusses the Victualers’ Guild. The Harp and Trumpet is part of the guild, as are all the saloons in town.
Brittany and I are attending Balticon this weekend. We are sharing a table with Jen Zyren Smith of LaSalle’s Legacy. We’ll have cards books, and our latest creation – 8 different buttons based off the characters in Snow by Night. They are really sharp. So stop by and say hello!
Almanac – Everique
May 8th, 2011This week’s Almanac entry is Everique – the new world. It’s under the Continents section of Places. This is the continent of Aradie and Sherbourg. It is a rich and fertile land, but it is also wild and dangerous.
Brittany and I are attending Balticon at the end of the month – May 27-30. If you’re attending, please come by and say hello. If you’re not attending, you should consider it. They have a great line-up of guests.

Added Page 25 today. Ald and Blaise continue their discussion of Blaise’s “loan.” I love what Brittany did with the two children building the snowman in the background.
Convention season is fast approaching. Brittany and I will be attending Balticon over Memorial Day weekend (May 27-30), where we will have a table in Artists’ Alley. We will have a number of new items for sale, including our introductory book — and buttons! In addition, we’ll be part of a panel on Friday night to discuss “Making a Graphic Novel Webcomic” along with Jennifer Zyren Smith of LaSalle’s Legacy and Barb Fischer of Sledgebunny. Make plans to come see us!
Lastly, I’ve uploaded a preview of Page 26 as an incentive on Top Web Comics. Please vote for Snow by Night.
Almanac – Long Knives, Sabers
March 20th, 2011This week, I thought I would talk a little bit about blades, two in particular – the long knife and the saber. Jassart has a long knife and is using it in his gamble with Laurent. So it seemed a good time to discuss them. Read about them in this week’s Almanac entry.
In other news, I heard back from Otakon. I’ve been approved for a table in their Artists’ Alley. So Snow by Night will be making an appearance. I hope to have our first chapter book for sale at the convention.
