May 31st, 2017ZOUNDS! Pieter uses words about two centuries out of date. Since he’s in the 18th century, that puts him in Renaissance times. I’ve noticed this tendency among a lot of people who read a lot, particularly if they read things written long ago. They pick up vocabulary that no one uses any more, which is a shame. For example, Nonce. Nonce is a fantastic word!
Snow’s back! And she’ll be around for quite a bit. Not all of it is for fun times as you can see when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Hello to everyone we met at Balticon! I hope you’re enjoying the story so far. Thanks so much for joining us. AwesomeCon is on the horizon on June 16-18.

May 24th, 2017Pieter thinks Snow’s quest is impossible. Love, empathy, and compassion are human emotions. It’s not in a spirit’s nature. For you long-sufferring readers waiting for Snow’s return, please for vote Snow by Night on Top Web Comics. There’s a treat there for you.
Balticon is this weekend. Steph and I will be there with all our books! Come by and see us! Since we’re all out this weekend and Monday is Memorial Day, we will not be posting a page on Monday. Our next page is on Wednesday.
NPR is hosting its Summer Graphic Novels Reader Poll! I love NPR, and I love Snow by Night. Help me bring them together. Please consider nominating Snow by Night! You can nominate up to 5 times, so you can share your support with other comics too. I’m a huge fan of Spinnerette.

May 22nd, 2017It’s time for a MONTAGE! *dances* It’s been a bit since Snow told her story so a quick refresher was needed. I thought Julie and Steph did an amazing job capturing so much in so few images. Go Team Artist!
Pieter does what any good wizard… er I mean philosopher would do at this point. Vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics to see what that is.
Balticon in 4 days! YIKES! I need to start organizing things. If you like sci-fi and fantasy books, this is a great convention. Highly recommend!

May 17th, 2017Pieter meets the crew! Each member intrigues him for a different reason: Elk the studious, Kit the curious, and Blaise the promise-keeper. Pieter’s response means that it’s story time! Watch me and Julie summarize Snow’s quest in a single page. You can check out the lines when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Balticon is next weekend! Steph and I will be there with a lot of books! I hoped to have Vol 1 printed by then, but I decided to have almost-cancer instead. So the books are still at the printer, being mooshed together. I hope to have them in time for AwesomeCon next month!

May 15th, 2017Heer Pieter makes his appearance, and he needs a cannon! Don’t we all need cannons? I’d love a cannon.
Pieter has an instant rapport with one of his visitors. Can you guess which one? For the answer, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics!

May 10th, 2017Willem’s employer has made some modifications to his windmill over the years. For your vote incentive, check out these shoes when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics!
Not much else to add today other than I’m working on writing Chapter 16 “Consuming Fire” which is shaping up to be suitably climatic for the end of Volume 4.

May 8th, 2017Defiant Elk introduces Willem to the rest of the team. Oh, wait. Someone is missing? Where’s Snow? And is it now spring? YIKES!
Behold the interior of the laboratory when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I’m starting to get very excited for the Wonder Woman movie. The idea of setting it during World War I was sheer brilliance. Nothing shows the horrors of war like trench warfare, and Diana will gleam like a star against the mud of the Somme.

May 3rd, 2017We found the supplier of Defiant Elk’s books! Willem is a factor (a type of agent with a lot of autonomous authority) for his yet-to-be-introduced employer. Follow the money; even on the frontier. The relationship of the Dutch… I mean Kleefish… and the natives was grounded in trade. Willem and Elk’s relationship is based on this reality.
Willem is Aphrike-Kleefish and comes from the Kleefish colonies in Antillia, which are sometimes called the Isles of Dread because of the horrific cruelty of the plantations, the wood-eating water worms, the heat, the storms, the insects, and the prevalence of malignant disease spirits that lurk there. That Willem is a factor in Zollhaven means he’s a long way from where he started.
Please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics to see what Willem is up to next!
