The Pygmalion Syndrome: What’s New in 2008?

OCTOBER 2008

1 OCTOBER: NEW FEMALE STORY: The Encounter (2,700 words, PG). This is my first new story in far too long, and hopefully it means my muse is coming out of hibernation at last.

JUNE 2008

17 JUNE: OTHER STUFF: Further update to Taral Wayne Page 1, with 5 new images that Taral e-mailed to me.

1 JUNE: OTHER STUFF: Updated Taral Wayne pages, with 11 new images and 2 new male stories on Page 1 and 4 new images on Page 2.

APRIL 2008

21 APRIL: ART PAGES: added new page featuring my photos of Susan Kliewer’s outdoor fountain group “The Sinagua” in Sedona, Arizona. The only statue in the Art gallery by a living artist.

11 APRIL: OTHER STUFF: Upgraded art for ”Never Take Your Apprentice for Granite”. I’ve now acquired the original artwork in Darin’s moving sale, so I was able to scan it and re-post it at higher resolution. While not wanting to tamper with the original, I have made a few grammatical corrections to the text.

4 APRIL: ART PAGES: added new page showcasing lots of my photos of George Rennie’s statue “Cupid Rekindling Hymen’s Torch”. If you get the impression that I’m slightly obsessed with this particular sculpture, you may be right.

MARCH 2008

24 MARCH: ART PAGES: added new pages showcasing male sculpture by Félix Maurice Charpentier and Henri Peinte.

17-20 MARCH: OTHER STUFF: More additions to Taral Wayne page 2. Three new images and additional notes on several others.

DECEMBER 2007

24 DECEMBER: NEW MALE STORY: Ketrin Part Eight (14,800 words, R). I’ve sweated blood on this instalment, people, so I really want to know what you think about it.

10 DECEMBER: OTHER STUFF: Updated Taral Wayne pages. The pages are now organised into categories - Stone, Metal and Miscellaneous - with additional notes and comments and cross-references to other Taral Wayne artwork. There’s even a short story - The Case of the Stoned Client (980 words, mostly G)!
