How much time have you got?

a) Time’s precious. Cut to the chase! – Our latest storyline, The Indwellers, is a new beginning and features a new art team. Knowledge of previous events in the series is not essential. If you just want to sample a good standalone arc in an ongoing series, jump right in.

b) I’ve got all the time in the world. – Alrighty, then. The first 3 volumes of Twilight Lady are an epic saga best read from start to finish like a novel. So sit back, click on next comic, and enjoy.

Whichever option you choose, thanks for dropping by and happy reading. And always remember… embrace the unknown.

Cass Corridor.

Steeped in culture and history… a place where
countless visionaries have emerged and gone
forth into the world.

A place now in danger of acquiring an unwanted
type of fame. A mysterious serial killer is wandering
its streets, with a modus operandi that has left
authorities baffled.

After a brief, bizarre encounter with this killer, a
young journalist with a fascination for the paranormal
is determined to know the true nature of what she
has witnessed. This desire takes her on a spinning,
swirling journey of discovery.

A spiral dance.

A dance of revelation.

The unknown.

What does that term conjure up for you?

I ask because it’s not the same for everyone. When faced with the unknown, the imagination can dream up wonderful things. Also, terrible things.

Which is why some fear the unknown, while others embrace it. A person’s reaction to the unknown can determine all sorts of things. The direction of a life. What to order for dinner. The fate of a civilization. What channel to watch. It can bring about peace, or start a war.

“The Secret of Cass Corridor”, the first tale in the Twilight Lady series, explores how different people react differently to the unknown… as well as the ripple effect of these reactions in their own lives and the lives of others. A woman who encounters a strange puzzle chooses to explore it, knowing it could lead her down a dangerous path. The ghost of a dead man, when offered a clean slate, wants nothing but to cling to the remnants of his troubled existence. A man with the gift of seeing into other realms chooses to fix his sight within the boundaries imposed by his beliefs.

And you. How will you react to the story that’s about to unfold?

I eagerly await finding out…

The character of MC Vlad is loosely based on Anison Roberts, aka The Impaler, whose band I regularly opened for at a club in Detroit called the Old Miami (back when I lived in Michigan). Anison’s a good buddy of mine who’s still active in the Detroit music scene. He is an incredible songwriter. If you don’t believe me, check out his Myspace.

The analogy of the fish in the ocean encountering a diver was inspired by the book The Fourth Dimension: A Guided Tour of the Higher Universes by Rudolf Rucker and David Povilaitis, which I found a fascinating, mind-expanding read.

From the Metro Times (Detroit’s weekly alternative paper):

Established in 1975 as a haven for Vietnam Veterans, the Old Miami has been called “the C.B.G.B’s of the midwest” for it’s history as a music venue. Almost every notable artist from Detroit has played on it’s stage as well as many national acts of the punk/modern rock era.
