The door slams open at the Voodoologic Clubhouse and in steps Darren Saturday with one arm deeply in pants pocket fondling his worry beads and his other hand stretched high above his head - index finger.... indexing. "Fear not Gents! I know of said artists who will toil for small sums of coin." And with that Darren Saturday turns on his heel and walks back out the open door, strides across the busy street, dodges a numbe rof passing pre-revolution cars, and leaps on to the back of slowly cantering wagon loaded with industrial bottles of purified water and pulled by two large German women with severe haircuts. JJ "Knuckles" Johnson, the clubhouse manager slowly waddles from behind the bar, pulls his pants up over his considerable girth and in the process gives himself an unpleasent looking front wedgie... camel toed but in a bad way, and ambles over to the entrance, lifts the broken door off the floor and with one well rehearsed movement slams the entire thing back into the entry cavity. JJ Knuckles turns, aims a perfunctionary nod at Mindnight and the Creature as they sit schemeing about e-bookery around one of the three club tables. Each table features a different vintage map of Wisdom City under glass covering the table top. They nod back in unison before returning to their mugs of warmish cider and plans that are afoot. It was only then that they had noticed a bright glint on the floor - it would appear Saturday has dropped his house keys again. Yup. He'll be back... eventually. The Creature orders another round of cider - an extra for the guests about to join them, Midnight folds away his various papers he had been busy indexing from the spare chair. A dog outside barks and two cats hiss at each other and a lady is heard swearing... he is returning. BANGARRRRR!

I don't think all (or even any) of the short stories are written well-enough or coherently enough to interest a publisher, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't people out there who wouldn't mind paying a few dollars to have the stories collected together, along with some extra bits and pieces. I'll have to think about whether or not I can afford (or justify the expense) of some basic artwork. Still, either way, an interesting hobby project!

Here's a request. Can you post an overview of Wisdom City? I love the mix of fantasy and superheroism. what kind of place is Wisdom City though? Is it a metropolis kind of thing, or is it some ancient city that has become modernized and still has elements of the past associated with it in its deep dark bowels (there's that wrd again!).
