Snow by Night

The pistols that Vivienne and Marguerite are vying for were made by the gunsmiths of Aileon. What is Aileon? Where is Aileon? These answers can be found in today’s Almanac entry. Aileon is an unusual country. It is the only country that does not have a great spirit because their spirit Dama (sometimes called Chance), vanished 50 years ago.

Diane and Brittany will be attending Anime USA and representing Snow by Night since I’m down in Florida with family. If you’re attending, come by and say hello and meet the spunky part of the Snow by Night team.

Long day working the polls. It started at 4:45 a.m. and ran to 9 p.m. Our precinct made me proud with 80% turnout. I’m heading down to Florida tomorrow so instead of a page we have a piece of amusing fan art by Rachael Hixon of Tangent Artists. We’ll be back to our normal schedule on Friday. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Vivienne and Marguerite go for the jugular in Page 6 of Losing by Winning. I think the muskets are less dangerous than these two. To see Sunny’s sketch of the page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.

You know how bad things come in threes. Well, the third thing happened this past weekend while we were at Nekocon. My grandmother passed away on Saturday. She lived to be 93. That’s a long time when I sit and think about it. She was born when Woodrow Wilson was president. She saw her husband sail across the sea to fight in World War II. She ran the family business — a floral shop where the telephone number was 714. Three numbers. That’s it. There were less than a 1,000 phones in the entire town. The years passed and the world changed and in time she was logging onto Skype so she could talk to her great grandchildren.

I need to attend her funeral and say my last goodbyes to her this week. My apologies, but there will not be a page update on Wednesday. I have a piece of art given to us by Rachel at Tangent Artists. It is quite amusing. I’ll ask Diane to upload it on Wednesday. Also, I will try to get a photo album con report up for Nekocon on our Facebook page before I leave.

This week’s almanac entry is Jacqueline de Tilly. She’s Vivienne’s lady-in-waiting, aide-de-camp, co-conspirator, friend, and advisor. She’s got a keen eye and a sharp wit. It’s always the quiet ones who are the most dangerous.

Brittany and I are off to Nekocon tomorrow morning. With the hurricane rolling through, this one snuck up on me. We’ll be there with books, prints, and buttons. Come by and say hello.
