#BehindTheScenes 63 - The Next Series
The imaginary world of Enos and the kingdom of Klenard could not last forever. Projects get tiring, ideas are repeated and the characters have an ending I am satisfied with (for the moment anyway). My mind is already racing to the next series. This #BehindTheScenes is going to tell you a little about the next two. First of all, the name of the next series is Red in our Skies . It will be another imaginary world, with characters who face war and political strife and have to s

It's Friday, and you know all know what that means! It's time for the answers to #TriviaTuesday How many did you get? Comment below! The Pirates' Code - Pirates of the Caribbean caught my imagination as a teen. No, I did not write fan fiction for that particular storyline, but the idea of sailing the open seas with a random bunch of men and women was an escape from reality. Having a moral code made the idea even better. That was where the Articles of Agreement in From Across
