TATTOO/PIERCING NEWS: After expressing my interest in starting my own studio sometime this year, I was fired by my cousin from his studio. Whether his motivation was really business-related or personal, I can't determine. Or at least, I'm taking the high road and not airing dirty laundry here. I am still hopeful to find funding to start my own, but will again be jobless for a bit.
NOVEL NEWS: I'll be releasing a Pathos Sidetrack novel before I release Volume 2, Silver Empress. The Pathos Sidetrack novels will be backstories and/or short story collections that complement the main Pathos series storyline. Some will directly tie into the main story. Some will feature characters that didn't get enough love in the original storyline. So it's all still the Pathos series! And until I find steady employment, or open my studio, I should have plenty of time to write!
MYTH-BABIES: I'm hoping that whatever space I lease for my tattoo/piercing studio will have additional rooms for moldmaking and casting. That way, when it's slow at work, I can work on my books AND dolls. But I'm really stuck for a bit now. I sculpt on the dolls to take my mind off the stress of being broke.
Love and cuddles,
Tamara

Here's what I did to set up a pressure casting system:

It's not huge, but it's a good starter for around $100. I modified the tank by 1) removing the paint uptake steel tube (it unscrews with some pliers), 2) installed a plug and a cap to shut off the hole from the uptake tube and another openin
Solana is here!
SOLANA: A Pathos Sidetrack is now on Amazon Kindle for just $0.99! It's a novella about a PATHOS character who is near and dear to my heart. She just demanded her own little book! I also designed the deco-style cover. Plus, the paperback is forthcoming!
Please, oh please go check out my books and let me know what you think! Also, share with your sci-fi/fantasy lovin' friends!
Starting, if you want, with Solana: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HU20UW4
