I've been working on my next book in fits and starts lately. I write a few stanzas of poetry here and there as something jumps in my head. Or I sketch out some ideas I want to explore. It has been slow work.

Slower than I am used, if I'm honest.

Or at least it was until something hit me this past weekend when I was working my booth at PeoriaCon. An idea struck me as I was staring at another artist's manga inspired work across the aisle. It has nothing to do with anything. It just cleared out the detritus.

So now I need to share. Share thoughts about elves. How they've been done dirty by game designers and fantasy authors. How Brian Cox has portrayed the most perfect elf on screen ever and you don't even realize it.
