praise for the Queens

It’s always nice to be liked:

“A smart, sassy overview of the ‘dark side’ of the crown and scepter. It
makes a girl glad she was born a commoner.”
–Robin Maxwell, bestselling author of Mademoiselle Boleyn

“A fascinating journey through thousands of years of the world’s most
dangerous job — being queen!”
–Eleanor Herman, author of Sex with the Queen

These arrived just in time, since I’ll soon be launching the next phase of the Doomed Queens website.

the queen is dead, long live the queen….

As of yesterday, ArtandWords.com is now incorporated into KrisWaldherr.com. Though I’ve still a few last bugs to iron out, my old site is now history. Eventually I will add some redirects from old pages, so any bookmarks you might have will still work. But basically that’s it.

Though I know I mentioned this some time ago, but it’s still strange. I’ve been primarily identified on the web as ArtandWords.com for over a decade — and now it’s just little ol’ moi. To be honest, I feel a bit (for lack of a better term) exposed. But maybe these conflicted emotions signify that I’ve been hiding behind my old url in some strange way?

On the work front, I’m getting ready to take a small hiatus for a few days.My dear friend Lisa Hunt is coming to visit me this week! I’m very excited to have her as a houseguest. BTW, if you haven’t checked it out yet, Lisa’s new Fairy Tale Tarot journal is wonderful. I’m mentioned in a few of the posts too — I posed for her Goose Girl card. Go check me out in my costumed glory.

On a related note, Lisa posed for my Boudicca drawing for Doomed Queens. She brought much of her martial arts intensity to her task.* But that’s a subject for a separate post.

*Did you know Lisa is about to test for her black belt? Amazing but true! I’m in awe of the woman.
