  • The Anniversary & An Update

    Status Update: I’ve been workingtoilingjobbing a lot lately—six to seven days a week, an average of nine hours a day—which means I’ve had little time for pretty much everything. It’s my hope that at some point in the relatively near future, I’ll be able to share the creative fruit of this financially recuperative endeavor. I’m still twisting out the finalfinal draft of Book 1 of Ministers of Grace, but as with everything editorial, it’s taking longer than anticipated. As soon as it’s been sent off to the design team, I’ll be able to set a proper release date. I promise to keep you all updated.

    Despite the lack of earth-shattering news, I felt like posting something, so I scratched out this four-liner that came from a thought that was curling around my head like some dusty little smoke ring. Here it is…

    “The Anniversary”

    The calendar tapped me on the shoulder
    and followed me around the whole day;
    it perfumed all my actions with memories
    ’til the dawn put them back in their place.

    That’s all for now. Hope you’ve all been doing well!

  • New Things!

    18th Anael, Day of Cassiel, Hour of Gabriel 18.10.3.2.31.23

    While I’ve been working on the final draft of Cherubim & Seraphim—almost done!—I took a break to update the site. There are a few new pages that relate to the Ministers of Grace universe.

    One includes a table on the Archangels and their rulerships.

    Three pages are on time: the first is an index, the second contains the angels’ calendar as it relates to the Western Gregorian calendar, and the third lists the hours.

    One of these days, I reckon I’ll know a programmer who’ll be able to hook me up with an instant human-to-angel-time converter. In the meantime, if there’s a specific date you’d like converted (e.g. your birthday, your anniversary, etc.) please click on the expandy button below, leave me a comment, and I’ll reply with the conversion. Please be sure to provide the month, day, and year, as well as the time and place. (e.g. October 18, 2012, 4:21 am, Oakland, California. This converts to 1st Raziel, Day of Raziel, Hour of Anael. 1.8.3.2.31.23) Bear in mind that angels—particularly the Virtues—are persnickety about the relationship between space and time, so you can’t calculate the correct hour without knowing the place.
