New Blogs for the New Year

Some of you may have noticed a few new links have been added to the sidebar recently.  In anticipation of the 2010 releases of my new poetry collections 'Shadows of Myth and Legend' and 'Gears, Steam & Absinthe Daydreams' I have created two new blogs of the same names. 
From the Shadows will remain my primary blog, however I will be posting release updates and more on the new blogs as work on both titles progresses.

Urban Cryptozoological Journal

I stumbled upon this lovely blog and just had to share.

The Urban Cryptozoological Journal contains beautiful artwork as well as intriguing information about many mythological creatures.  My favorite entry Thassalius, Scrymnyx, Kaug and Valpata includes the imaginative entry for the Scrymnyx who "can most frequently be found nesting on or near libraries and museums." Perhaps I have encountered one before since we appear to have similar haunts.       

Need more zoology?  Cephalopod Tea Party is another enjoyable blog gem I recently discovered.  Finding cephalopods intriguing? Want to be one for Halloween? Check out this absolutely amazing OctoDress over at The Gothic Tea Society!
