Some delays held the Werewolf Workout blog back for a couple weeks (including a shoulder injury), but the blog will be resuming this week. Revised the Magic section as well.

A few quick announcements. Alexander Vornoff will be offering magic lessons again shortly. Look for details here and on Facebook. Work has begun on the screenplay for Witching Hour's first feature-length movie: Bone Daddy and the Skeleton Crew. A loser horror rock band who are also loser superheroes must fight to save Pittsburgh from the doomsday device of the mad scientist Dr. von Skull. Halloween is coming up, so if you want to book a haunted magic party, now is the time. Ideally, you'll want to book at least two weeks in advance to guarantee an evening. Last-minute bookings are not unheard of, but you're less likely to get the date you want.

Murphy's Law has kicked in and a technical failure earlier this month caused several files to go bye-bye. No matter, we still have more to come. Check out the blogs section for the newest addition, The Werewolf Workout. Also expect updates to Whispers from the Vault. More Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Richard Matheson in the weeks to come. We also have some new music coming down the pipe. More on that soon.

You can now follow Alexander on Twitter. You can find it on the Contact page. The Dragon Renaissance Festival performance was a great time and Alexander sends a heartfelt thanks to everyone who stopped to watch his show.

First news to announce is the return of our PayPal buttons. Alexander Vornoff's ebooks are once again available directly through PayPal. Furthermore, all content unless otherwise specified will be under the Creative Commons license. On top of that, we're also happy to announce that the Silence series today launches the official production journal. Hosted by Blogger, you'll be getting updates on the progress of new scripts, episodes, cast and crew, and other developments near-daily.

Alexander Vornoff will be performing at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium Saturday through Sunday on June 19 and 20 for the Dragon Renaissance Festival. He will be appearing from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. Alexander has also launched a new blog for magicians and mentalists called The Pitt and the Pendulum.

Didn't think you'd heard the last of us yet, did you? Indeed, we haven't given up yet. The intended update for yesterday was delayed due to problems with the network. Go to our Radio page to see the new Whispers from Vault page, now a free podcast as promised. It's been given a slight makeover (as much as one can do so for sound, anyway) and will be updating irregularly over the next couple months. We can't promise a regular schedule for the time being so, we're not going to crowbar that in only to disappoint you when Murphy's Law inevitably kicks in.

Our first story to be read is "Pickman's Model" by H.P. Lovecraft. Next up is one of the old ghost stories of M.R. James.

Happy belated New Year, I suppose. The break has given me time to get a few minor crises under control and things should be back in full working order before long.

With our current economic situation what it is (sooo bad), Silence won't be able to hold to the strict monthly schedule previously planned. As a result, I'm working on new scripts for the series to make use of no budget whatsoever and grind them out whenever possible. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be notified as soon as they come out.

In the meantime, Alexander Vornoff will be putting together new demo tapes along with an update to the list of shows. Expect to see the first of the new videos here on the site and on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks.

More updates to come. Stay frosty.

 

December 14, 2009

Best laid plans of mice and men and all that. Yes, the site has been pretty quiet. The interim did however provide me a chance to reorganize. So I'd like you to note a few changes. First, the magic books are having their PayPal buttons taken down for a few days. I'm making the transition to a new bank, and it might take a couple more weeks to get everything squared away.

Second, Whispers from the Vault will be coming back as a free podcast next year. The equipment I have at hand has proven woefully inadequate and need to upgrade that.

Finally, if you go to our Series page, you'll find the first episode of Silence has debuted! All episodes of the series will be hosted on YouTube and embedded here. The series will be updated once a month for the foreseeable future, so be patient. A tighter schedule will be coming once we get into a decent groove with the production.
