Jack's April Lockdown Update

As you can probably expect, the lockdown has limited what able to do and work on, so no news on conventions or events until we have a better idea when this whole thing is over. But I haven't been doing nothing. Here's a rundown.

- As you can see from the picture above, I'll be returning to the world of Warhammer 40k fanfic, with a short story following one of the secondary characters from The Trials of Sister Roslyn, Sister Touro. I commissioned the cover from the frankly brilliant Kristina Amuan, who's work you can find here. I... uh, haven't exactly started work on the writing yet though, so I should probably get on with that.

-In case you missed it, I posted another quick fanfic a couple weeks ago. This time around the video game Unavowed, which I all recommend you play. You can read my story, A Muse Like You, here.

- I'm still working on a bunch of comic and writing projects. I'm hoping my Comic Book Guide to Beer will be finished by the end of the year, though given how long my John Paul Jones Comic took, it's on a 'when it's done' schedule.

That's all for now, remember you can follow me on twitter, tumblr and deviantart.

A Muse Like You - An Unavowed Fanfic

I didn't think I'd be stepping back into the world of fan fiction so soon, but isolation has left me with a lot of time to spare and I just couldn't get this idea out of my head. Good for a bit of practice working with an existing world and characters.

If you haven't played Unavowed by Wadjet Eye Games I highly recommend it. If you have, then read on.

Since leaving the police force and joining the Unavowed, Vicki Santina has found herself strapped for cash. Wearily joining a budget gym, a chance encounter with Calliope, the former spirit of creation, leads to a whirlwind relationship Vicki wasn't expecting. However, with the death of another muse in downtown Manhattan, Vicki finds what little she has can be taken away just as quickly. Can she and the Unavowed find the killer in time, and more importantly can she teach Calli to slow down and smell the roses?

Part love letter to Unavowed, part love letter to New York, part love letter to sapphic pulp novels, part love letter to the way Vicki Santina says 'ugh!', A Muse Like You is a short story of 11'500 words about slowing down and learning to enjoy the time you have.
