My new short play "Bell" is up online at Mused, the literary magazine of BellaOnline. It's one of three linked short plays that together make up "Bell, Book & Candle" (guess the inspiration for that one). While this one doesn't reference magic specifically, it is about making power manifest through imagination, one of the core beliefs I hold. Hope you enjoy!

I'm pleased to announce the publication of my comic book JANE QUIET, co-created with artist Elena Steier. Ask your local comic store to order it from the April Previews, or buy it on line at kalaity.com

Jane Quiet is an occult investigator and a nod to Algernon Blackwood's John Silence stories. here's the kind of things people are saying about her:

"We keep hearing about the lack of female presence in comics. Jane Quiet is one strong wave in the growing tempest of comics by women and for everybody. It fits no real genre perameters, because it doesn't have to; it stands alone on its own strengths. It reminds me of Wolf and Byrrd, but only for its strong senses of narrative and humor. It features one of the scariest, nastiest and most graceful monsters going; you can almost hear its tiny claws clicking in the dark."
-- Donna Barr, THE DESERT PEACH and STINZ

"JANE QUIET is my kind of woman: smart, sexy (it's the smart that makes her sexy), fearless when fighting monsters from beyond this mortal coil...and, well, she doesn't say a lot but she knows how to kick monster ass! This long overdue collaboration between Laity and Steier is a delightfully estrogen-fuelled supernatural romp that left me wanting more -- much more!"
-- Philip Nutman, multiple award-nominated author, screenwriter and producer (WET WORK and JACK KETCHUM'S THE GIRL NEXT DOOR)
