Well, not really. They’re there, in the bottom right corner — see? — but they aren’t exactly rolling, I guess.

This is the last installment of Book One of Cold Iron Badge! Patrick and I want to thank you for joining us on Christine’s — and our — journey. We’ve enjoyed bringing you installments of our story every week, and we look forward to continuing to do so in Cold Iron Badge: Book 2…

But not just yet.

We’re going to take the opportunity provided by the break between chapters for a hiatus. We need to take a little time to recharge our batteries before we return with the further adventures of Christine, her new partner and the rest of their team.

We don’t have an ETA yet for the launch of Book 2, but we’ll be posting it here as soon as there’s news. And in the interim, I’ll be doing some blogging here, so just add us to your RSS feed to make sure you get updated.

Once again, thanks to you, our readers — we love our story and our characters and it means a lot to us that you care about them too!

Our thanks also to our illustrious editor at Modern Tales, Shaenon Garrity, whose Skin Horse you should all be reading.

To our supportive friends and colleagues like Greg Beettam and Tara Tallan (whose comics you should also all be reading!)

And to the generous sponsors whose support help us keep the pixels running.

We appreciate you all so very much, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Coming Soon: The Secret Files of the Borderland Guard

With last week’s cliffhanger — which also marks the end of a chapter in the overall story — I’m going to put ‘All That Glitters’ on a hiatus. I’m at a point where I need to step back and think about how the story has grown and where it’s going.

For the next little while, in place of weekly installments of the adventures of Mac and Martin we’ll be bringing you  the secret personnel files of the Borderland Guard, guaranteed to answer some of your questions about Christine, Delric, Bunny, Ray and Mysti. Whether they raise a whole bunch of new questions… well, that’s a different matter entirely, isn’t it?

Tune in next Friday for our first profile, featuring excerpts from the personnel file of Lieutenant Christine McCall.

Welcome to Cold Iron Badge

Let’s try this again, shall we?

A couple of weeks ago, just as we launched a big outreach campaign, our website was hacked. Patrick took the opportunity to re-design and overhaul the site — and did a heck of a job, I think — and now here we are, trying again. With any luck, we won’t get hacked this time.

So: Hello and welcome. Thanks for checking out Cold Iron Badge. If this is your first visit, you should know that the page you see above is #107 in an ongoing story. You can read from the beginning by clicking on the ‘Archive’ tab above, scrolling down to Page #001 and clicking on it.

If you’d like to know a little more about what this story is about before you read further, you can check out the ‘About’ tab. And here, just for new readers, is a little bit of a teaser:

This is a fairy tale.

But nobody lives happily ever after.

Cold Iron Badge is a police procedural… about cops whose beat includes Elfland. It’s about a world just like our own – except that the gates to Fairyland have opened, and the Sidhe have returned. It’s the story of the officers of the Borderland Guard, the men and women who patrol the border between our world and Faerie, and the price they pay when their lives intersect with a real fairy tale – with all the traditional blood, madness and wild magic…
