I spent most the year awaiting resolution of my breach of contract lawsuit against Gutter Press. At last, on Decemer 19, 2005, I was awarded
my full claim, plus court costs and interest. Technically, we can say that I won ... but, quite honestly, it feels like
a rather hollow victory, given all the potential that has been lost ... Sam Hiyate surrendered the remaining copies of
Karnival and I imagine I'll begin donating them to libraries, etc. I take that to be his apology for how I was
treated, and I imagine this is all I'll ever receive: my court judgment remains unpaid to date. |

The Wicked People project is coming along nicely. Cayle Chernin/Cayle Film and I
presented a reading of The Circle Eternal in September. Visit Projects - Film for details. Leslie Ann Coles
came onboard in October, and suggested we retool the work as the pilot for our television series. Thus, we have done that, and completed the bible for Michael Mortensen's Wicked People ~ The Series, for which we are currently seeking funding and
broadcasters.

An ultra-condensed version of Tea with Mother is in production. |

Serafin. Visit him online at www.serafin.ca. |

Several other Wicked People projects are underway. Visit www.wickedpeople.ca for details of the above-noted projects and more. |
