there’s a new world coming

Subject to my imperial whim (and we all know how mercurial that can be) I am making the following changes over the next 10 days:
- The dissolution of peacat.com
- Completion of the first 100 elements of williamfdevault.com
- The gutting, then dissolution of my Random Drafts and Chapters blog
- There are a few cosmetic changes to be done, as well, as well as some behind the scenes changes that no one likely to be reading this note will ever need to be privy to.
- I will make available the entirety of all my CDs, including Evangelist, as free downloads via williamfdevault.com
- Plus, for those who attend my readings on the 17th of this month, there will be some dramatic news about my books, past and future.
That’s all I have to say for now. Thanks to the people from StumbledUpon who notched my new presentation of Soubrette at williamfdevault.com. Mucho attention, mucho gracias.
a brief announcement

Evangelist is out.
We have made a decision, to encourage a better supply line, for the time being, not to offer the CD through the City store, but to allow ordering directly from the publisher

First, a quick catch-up bit: TVC2008, the winner will still be announced on August 16. I will still be doing a six hour reading and book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Morgantown, WV, on August 17th. Dan McTaggart is scheduled to be there for part of the day. The new CD, Evangelist, is out, we’re just slow with the distribution channels, give us a day or two. williamfdevault.com is coming along slowly, but beautifully. I am feeling better…knowing is always better than the dread of ignorance.
Now to the show.
I have been having a lot of fun, and it has been great therapy for me, catching sparks from some of the art and photographs on deviantart.com (it’s not what you think, zhlub). A special part of that has been the revival of my Fields of Arbol, over on the Amomancer blog and the willingness, even the palpable excitement of some photographers, artists and models to have their works displayed alongside the poems presented and inspired by them.
Some have portfolios so extensive and expressive that I am considering adding a section to the new site that will feature galleries of just specific creatives, (hear that, Cody? Mariya? Kalea? Johanna?). We shall see if I am still alive after the 17th, shall we?
Thanks to my lovely children for the mad sanity they inject into my life, thank you to LiZa for the kindness and Annette, Elena and Karla for the emotional support.
Let’s go make some changes to the world
still alive

I am being quiet, here, I know. My apologies.
I am stretched so thin right now, from Brazil to Russia to England to California…and I have a lot on my plate. So, aside from those moments when I have to fire something off, I am off, running through the underbrush. It’s not complicated, just a different frame of reference than most work with on a daily basis. The amazing, amazing thing is that I am encountering an entire community of artists, writers and their ilk who make the old WC on AOL look like an afternoon tea party in a shed.
I’ll try to be at least more concise, okay?
Hey, I got the CD done and I have a six-hour reading in two weeks.

Just put up several more new pages at williamfdevault.com. I’ll let you look for them, but I will sweeten the pot are some great art and photography, including the uber-sultry Christina Banderas and some photo manipulation by my omni-present (of recent) wingman…er…woman, Cody Gibson. No shame to the others, but those two come to mind, first, take a look at their offerings and I think you will understand.
Busy day ahead of me. I will be giving out the full squeeze on EVANGELIST this evening, everything except the dedication. You’ll have to buy one to find that one out.
Just a poem before I go…

What a day. Got to spend a lot of time talking to my Dad on the occasion of his 85th birthday. Had a nice dinner with my boys. Wrote a lot. A lot.
Oh, and added three more works, with works by some tremendously talented individuals, at williamfdevault.com.
Special kudos and thanks to those, and to the cooperative artists, models and photograpers who have contributed to the Fields of Arbol on amomancer.blogspot.com. Spontaneous works inspired by paintings, photographs and sketches by tremendously talented individuals from around the world, representing 5 continents and everything from classic romanticism to the macabre to blatant eroticism.
I am having a blast. Special thanks to Cody, Annette, Elena, Karla, LiZa (twice), Jenny, Taylor, Arphiel, Katya, Lisa, Celia, Rina, Christina, Katarina, Anni, Mosh, WinterWolf and Kalea. An extra special thanks to the remarkable Kalea for her assist in nailing love is an howling beast at the new site.
I’ll be making some more upgrades to the new site, as well as expanding the Fields of Arbol AND filling you in on the Evangelist CD. I’m tired and emotionally sated.
Gnight.

Today my father turns 85 years old. He is in decent health and good attitude. I am blessed.
Today I release the CD Evangelist. Finally.
Today I will write an obscene number of poems, I will meet new friends, some of whom will play major roles in my life.
Today someone will confess a truth that took great couer rage to bring to me, and I will tell them it is okay and they need to forget about it and get on with their life.
Today I will allow myself to dream.
