So after the last two days of awesome (Parsecs and print copies!), I figure I’ll make it a hat trick and give you a THIRD day of fantabulousness!
How’s about we play a little game? Let’s call it a contest. And while we’re at it, let’s give away an awesome prize to the winner. In fact, let’s put “awesome” in the name of the contest. What’s better than an Awesome Contest? How about a “Basket of Awesome” Contest?

You’ve waited.
You’ve asked.
You’ve tweeted, emailed, begged, pleaded, and nagged.
At last, the moment has come…
Today, the Parsec Award Finalists were announced.
I nearly shattered my windsheild with my scream when I saw TDT listed as a finalist for Best New Podcaster/Team.
I am struggling to write this right now as I have to fight every second to keep myself in my chair, rather than bouncing off the walls.
That’s right. In case you hadn’t heard, The Dreamer’s Thread is now available on Smashwords.com in eBook format! Whatever, your eBook reader, there’s a format there for you! Kindle? Yup. PDF? You betcha. I’ve listed it at only $4.99, so at that price it’s a steal! Find it here:

Thanks to Chris, Collin, and Nick over at Dark Fire Productions for taking care of that for me. You guys rock!

I may have just experienced one of the most amazing weekends of my life. It definitely goes in the top 10. More to the point, it can be summed up in a word: Balticon.
Before last year, I had no idea so much awesome existed on this planet, let alone that I’d find myself sitting on panels there and espousing various bits of knowledge (some more helpful than others). That fact alone blows my mind. Me! On a panel! And people actually showed up to listen! *faint*
I lied.
I’ve been unable to get anything done today as littlest minion has been fussy and won’t let me put him down. So what’s a girl to do with only one hand free? Create more SecondLife TDT avatars!
I finally had to stop tweaking this one because the more work I did, the more she started looking like Aura. >_<
So here we have Ina, looking lovely in a garden at twilight. I really like the lighting work I did on this one. The purple shadows add an otherworldly dimension to it. In the first shot, I even gave her a few pixie friends to play with.
Another day, another experimental character shot! Aren’t you lucky!
You’d think I would have tackled Cyrus/Stephen next, but no. The wizard decided he wanted to go first (king schming, we all like Dedric better!). And so, here you have it.

I’ve decided to try a little experiment.
Just for something fun to do, I’m going to create some of the main characters from TDT in the virtual world of SecondLife. I was a little hesitant to do this at first. I don’t enjoy a story where the author decribes every little detail about a character’s appearance or setting. I like filling in some of those blanks myself. It keeps my imagination engaged.
