Beginnings are beautiful. The sunrise, with its flood of colors, painting the sky to celebrate the beginning of a new day.
The first few words on a blank page, one passing the baton to the next, together forming the beginning of a story, drawing reader — or writer — into a whole new world.
Those few words that can hold more emotion than a bookful of sonnets, forming the beginning of a new life for the two people in front of the altar. "I do."

Beginnings are ugly. A newborn, naked and blind bird, one day destined to become a beautiful parrot, as colorful as the sunrise; for now it's nothing but an ugly pink thing.
Those few words that so often start the beginning of the end of a relationship. "We need to talk."
The hangover on January 1st after you spend the previous night celebrating the end of the year that was, which makes you wish the sun would fuck off and not bother rising, because the light just makes it worse.

Endings are beautiful. The words that once upon a time signalled the end of any fairy tale worth its salt. "And then they lived happily ever after."
The tears and white dresses and black suits and white hats on graduates in June, as their high school years come to an end.
The colors of the sunset, painting the other end of the sky and reminding you that tomorrow is another day.

If you're a SecondLife user, please drop in to my first ever public photographic exhibition :) Located on Eduisland 3 in the Conference Center at 89,54,25. Sadly I won't be able to offer you cheese and wine in person :)



My thanks to Fleet for putting the work in on this :)

[Alopex] Did you miss out on Black Friday? And again on Cyber Monday? So did we! But that's all right, because there is still time to send your favorite Sofawolf publications and merchandise to your friends in many locations* on the planet in time for Christmas. Please see our calendar for December for the final dates you can place orders in time for Christmas. The important dates are:

  • Dec. 9 for U.S. military bases, Australia, New Zeland, Asia and the Pacific Rim, and Mexico

  • Dec. 12 for Canada, the Caribbean, Europe** and the Middle East

  • Dec. 19 for the United States

New for this holiday season, we now can pass along a personal greeting from you to the recipient of your gift! Simply include the message with your order, and it will be added to the packing slip. Have a look at the instructions on our website for more details and a preview of what the packing slip would look like.

* Sadly, we are too late for the USPS's recommended shipping dates to Africa, Central and Southern America, and APO/FPO zip 093.
** For shipping to the EU, don't forget our German distributors, Black Paw, who can probably offer much better shipping rates and deadlines!

Not sure what to get?

We have two new designs for Chirstmas (or any other winter-themed holiday) cards, one featuring Digger and her friend Shadowchild by Ursula Vernon, and the other with cute huskies romping in the snow by Foxfeather R. Zenkova:

And don't forget about the Keovi-designed, steampunk-inspired Sofawolf Press T-Shirts! They're perfect if you're looking for a gift for someone who is already a fan of Sofawolf's publications, but you don't know what they already have in their library:

My work commute is an hour each way, so I've been loading my ipod with audio books to listen to on the drive. Audio books are a great way to "read" novels you would normally have trouble slogging through. So far I have listened to audio versions of Frankenstein, The Odyssey, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and currently I'm almost all the way through The Canterbury Tales. When I'm finished with that one, I may put on Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
I still enjoy actually reading books, of course. But audio books are like having a storyteller sitting next to you, regaling you with tale after tale. Especially if the reader is skilled in doing different accents and voices. Plus, you can tune out the boring bits without missing the good stuff.

Mood: bookish
