This concept started way back in 2008. I saw a doormat on I Can Has Cheezburger? with the word “Leave” on it, and thought it fit Heruvael (Hileko’s father) perfectly. So I ran with that inspiration and made a small animated gif with a few character doormats. When it came back to mind recently, I could not resist the opportunity to add additional doormats.

The Song of the Changer
My second music video is complete! “The Song of the Changer” is not only Copper’s favorite song about his personal hero, but the lyrics serve as the source of the passwords used by the Separatist mages in the Geren’s Passage novels.

On January 15, 2024, I started writing End of Days, and it has turned into quite a fun romp. At the beginning, I thought it would be my fifth novella, but it is now plain that instead it will become my tenth novel. Hardly my first time: I thought Hope’s Choice and The Fourth Emissary would be novellas also.
