>Monsterology site

>Just a note to let everyone know that the Monsterology website is on a new server. For those who haven't taken a look, please do...it's at http://www.villainology.com

Yep, you guessed it, the next book out this fall is Villainology. I've already risked my life interviewing the villains and Derek has risked his life doing portraits. Billy the Kid was the hardest. He wouldn't sit still and then bet he could part both Derek's and my hair with one bullet.

He did. I still can't get my hair to flip the way it used to. Darn villains!

>Christmas Podcast

>Hello Everyone,

Well, it's my last podcast of the year! My Christmas podcast is now up on my website, complete with singing (not my singing, but my wife's), tips on how to write like Charles Dickens, and an Icelandic-style Christmas story.

Please visit:

http://www.arthurslade.com/vault/podcasts.html

Just scroll down to Podcast #10 or visit iTunes (remember you don't need an iPod to hear these podcasts, any computer will play them).

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and that you find exactly what you want under the tree!

Warm wishes,

Art Slade

>Video Video

>I've set up two new videos on my website. Now, you too can have a tiny version of me on your computer talking and talking and talking...actually they're both around 3 minutes long.

The first is about the creation of Monsterology.

Just scroll down until you see the words "Click Here." Beware though, it's been rated "so funny it hurts to watch."

The second video is a preview of my Fall 2006 book, Megiddo's Shadow.

Click on the link under Megiddo Movie.

If you have Quicktime the videos should open up and you'll be able to view them. You'll need high speed internet also since the files are both around 12mb.

Or if you have iTunes go to the podcast section in the store, search for "arthur slade" and you'll find the video "podcasts" there and can watch them in the iTunes program. In this format it's officially a video podcast that can be downloaded onto video iPods. Wow, the whole world could be watching...uh, or not...
