I've been working on the new banner for the website featuring my novel 40.  While I was at it, I developed an illustration of the main character, Mark Byatt.  I may incorporate it into the banner.

If you have been reading along, you will know why I cast him in the shadows.

Other than this, I've been working on a post that will spotlight a friend's illustrations; new poetry for the Lyssa Strada site; the upcoming segment of 40; and a list of my favorite songs right now.

Tonight, I leave you with a famous quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth:

There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
