… would you like to see more of? Be it a story focusing on said character, his/her own separate solo tale, or even a spin-off series?

Lately, this comic has probably had more scene changes, flashbacks, references to past events, and shifts in point of view than usual. I suspect this is why some readers are having trouble keeping up (at least, that’s the impression I’m getting).
So I figured, what better time to hold the very first Twilight Lady Q & A?
Feel free to ask any question. (Doesn’t have to be related to story or continuity.)
And don’t feel limited to questions either… jump in anytime with an answer or comment if you have one.
Given the scene currently taking place in the comic, I figured it would be timely to also provide a bit of background to the music referenced in Twilight Lady Sings the Blues.
The character of Sam the bluesman was inspired by the legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist William Samuel McTier - otherwise known as Blind Willie McTell – who wrote the songs “Delia” and “I Got to Cross de River o’ Jordan”, which were both sung by characters in the story (Jen and Sam, to be precise).
“Delia” is largely believed to be based on the tragic events concerning and surrounding the real-life murder of Delia Green.
As you might have noticed (if you’ve taken a gander at the archive section lately), I’ve distilled this series so far into 3 main volumes.
Volume One, Demon Down the Corridor, features Rona’s first encounter with the “Cass Killer” (aka the Lady in the Hood), followed by her maiden voyage to Subrealm, and reunion (of sorts) with her father.
Volume Two, Sympathy in the Key of Oblivion, begins with the tale of Patrice and Helen, young lovers separated by the ultimate divide, and ends with the Lady’s final confrontation with the soul-snatching demon troll Belahm.
In between these first two volumes are the short stories Peace Time and The Disappeared.
(And where, you may ask, does Twilight Lady Sings the Blues fit into all this? That’s a question that will be answered in the very near future…)
Which brings us to Angel of Death… Nemesis of Decay, the third volume in the series. What’s in store? Well, a couple of long-running story threads (What is Eleanor’s plan? Will Rona get her body back?) are being brought to the fore. Jen will begin to feel the impact of events in the astral plane on her reality and life (you didn’t think she was gonna remain oblivious forever, didja?). The big question will be addressed: how, and why, did the Lady end up trapped in a Senserealm body?
Oh, and as always… demons. Of numerous shapes and guises. Some you’ll find familiar, others not so obvious…
I was recently interviewed by Lori Titus of Flashes in the Dark, a horror flash fiction site. Lori managed to coerce me into revealing, among other things, what Twilight Lady may actually be about, what inspires me to create, some of my plans for this comic…
… and what I really, truly think of the feedback I get from Twilight Lady readers.
If you think that means you… you’re probably right.
You can read the full interview here.
Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
