Ending the Silence and Relic Production
My readers and friends,
I apologize for dropping the ball so severely these past four months. There's been so much going on and I've failed to keep up with you like I should. Hopefully, I can begin making amends with this brief post.
As I'm sure many of you faithful followers have figured out, I prefer to be rather silent about things going on in my private life. Anything about familial or personal relationships I usually keep very close to the vest. To be honest, it is this tendency that has precipitated my lapse in blog writing; I didn't want to discuss what was dominating my thoughts.
Many things, both dark and light, have transpired since my last post. Among them, I added a new part-time job to my schedule, lost my great-grandparents to cancer within a month of each other, took part, along with 39 other local authors, in a large book signing event, and added new sections for quizzes, my personal artwork and more wallpapers to my official website www.authorsrford.com. (Make sure to swing on over and check things out.)
I've also decided to take up a new hobby: relic production. Some of you will correct me and call it cosplay, costume design or prop making, but I like this title better. Many of you writers, artists, designers, cosplayers, larpers, and avid fans out there already engage in this activity. Some of you even get paid for your ingenuity. For me, however, this is all about illustration and my own geekiness. There's no bigger fan of my creations than me, and you can take that to the bank.
I elected to begin with a series of Oblivion's Gate relics while I brainstorm how to best engineer things from the Kingdom Chronicles. My lists for both series are extensive, and some of the things I hope to make may be fairly intricate. So far I'm working on:
As you can see, none of these projects is complete yet, but they are on their way and coming along nicely. I'll get you some better pictures when each is nearer to completion and more easily moved about.
So that's my new hobby. Got any suggestions as to what you would like to see next? Any tips? I'll take them all. Just hit the comments section below.
Things are slowly leveling out again in my life and that means you'll be hearing from me more often. Despite my blog neglect, I've written quite a bit over the passing months, and I'm excited to update you on all the goodness. I hope all is well for you and yours and that the changing seasons are treating you kindly.
Till next time,
Klalumpelo!

The Oblivion
The Staff of Hearts
The Master's Cap
and I just got six apothecary bottles to hold the first samples of Life Blood.
