J.C. did his recording work. We had a great time in "the studio"--he's one hilarious guy. I also bribed him with sake, which seemed to do the trick. Now Remy Music-Master is taking the vocals and putting it over his original music and re-mixing it for just the right sound.
And then, kids, Disclaimer Man, he of the awesome programming and making-things-happen skillz, is going to set it up in Youtube video-form! My lovely (ha!) drawings and words, as narrated by a drunk faux-Scotsman with a cockleburr's voice, all over some amazing ambient music! It's going to be amazing! Or at least mildly entertaining.
Coming up soon: Audio-story & Youtube video. Also may have an audiobook reading of "Beeowolf" recorded in December. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you about my successes in getting my e-book together in a couple of months' time as well.

This will be the introduction to my book.
Once this semester is over, I plan on getting work together to make an E-Book of twisted fairy tales, as I have several written or mostly-written. They range from the comical to the horrific, as you've seen if you read my blog at all. There are a few I've not posted here, nor do I intend to. I don't plan on making the e-book very expensive, just for the record. This is the poem I will use for my introduction:
"Once upon a time," said she,
Putting a hand beneath my chin.
She smiled a dreadful smile at me.
"Man wrote himself a history
A place to keep the monsters in
Once upon a time," said she.
She hissed, "All things strive to become free
What's put down will rise again."
Then smiled a dreadful smile at me.
"One day they will find the key
And come against the world of men,
Once upon a time," said she.
"There will be poisoned apples on every tree
And all the witches and wolves will win."
She smiled a dreadful smile at me.
"Man should learn to think more wickedly
Or all his stories will begin
With once upon a time," said she,
Then smiled a dreadful smile at me.
P.S. I will want a few people (probably no more than 3-4) to proof and edit the book before publication. Just putting that out there.
