Page 7 is up and concludes the first scene. Take a look and see how the heist plays out for Blaise and Jassart. I’m very pleased with how Ricky and Brittany made my vision a reality. We seeded all sorts of details in the background. You may have noticed the painting in Dupuy’s study in page 6. That’s based on a real paining of the founding of Quebec by George Agnew Reid.
Next week we head down to the lower city and one of my favorite areas in Sherbourg – Iniquity Row. It’s always a wild time on the Row. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as well.

December 8th, 2010I just posted page 6. I love the detail that Brittany added to the background of Dupuy’s office as well as the alchemical lamp. Kudos to Ricky for capturing the lighting effects so perfectly.
A Farewell and a Hello
December 6th, 2010Our Webmaster, Shawn Peirce, has done great work in setting up our website and giving us an excellent foundation to start our tale. However, he is leaving the Snow by Night project and pursuing other opportunities. Please join me in wishing him the best in the future.
I have asked Diane Hazlett to take over webmastering duties. Diane has an excellent skill set that is perfect for this position, and she has grand designs for this website. We’ll be rolling those out later this month. For now, let me introduce her properly:
Diane Hazlett
Webmaster
Diane is a long-time Internet lurker with a memory best described as “a pile of loose Post-It notes that fall out of her head every time she sticks a new one in there.” Despite that, she has a passion for learning and spends most of her free time reading articles, debates, or fiction of various genres. Every weekend she attends one of many ongoing RPG campaigns, usually in the Dungeons & Dragons setting, which has captivated her interest since she first joined her father’s 2e home campaign at age nine. Around the same time, her obsession with Pokemon led to a Neopets addiction, where she dove headfirst into HTML/CSS coding in order to craft sites for her beloved pixel friends, and has been teaching herself IT through trial and error ever since. Her idol and favorite storyteller is Watase Yuu, an internationally famous Japanese manga-ka, whom she dreams of someday meeting. Until then, she is attending Western Governors University full-time, working as an Executive Assistant part-time, and slowly worming her way onto the Snow by Night team through sheer fangirl determination.

Also, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I gave thanks for the opportunity to spin this tale and I’m glad you’re here with me.
Parental Guidance
November 18th, 2010A few readers have asked me whether or not Snow-by-Night is suitable for children. That is a difficult question because what is really being asked is whether Snow-by-Night is suitable for my child. Since the answer is dependent upon each individual child that is something that parents will have to answer for themselves. However, I can give the following description to help with the decision:
Snow-by-Night is a fantasy story that may include mild language, cartoon violence, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, thievery, sexual innuendo, philosophy, moral dilemmas, and folklore. Parental guidance is advised.

Two rooks on the roof are up to no good on Chapter 1 Page 2. Please meet Blaise and Jassart. We’ll see a lot of them in the coming pages.
