Costume explorations for my royal nosferatu novel character, half-copied from Black-Adder II.
I wrote a short story starring this vamp here: http://pixelvaniapublishing.com/2018/05/25/free-fiction-friday-growing-shadows-in-the-desert/
It's free 'til Saturday...then I take it down.

Getting ready to start making my own print books. InDesign is the industry standard, but Adobe's software subscription fees can go jump in the lake. I have InDesign CS2 but given that my PhoSho CS2 barely functions anymore, I hate to rely on it.
I hear Scribus is the open-source answer to InDesign, but I also hear it hangs when doing doesn't do "long documents" (though no one defines that in wordcount).
What else is out there?
