Queen of Werewolves


Let’s talk about Todd, since he’s the other illegal cutie I mentioned yesterday.  Todd likes to tinker, learn, and usually be left alone to do just that. He knows his duties with Phantom Fangs, but he doesn’t generally go out of his way to interact with its members. He’s always […]

Five Days Until Queen of Werewolves


So, Sorissa is our hero, what about her guys?  Caspian is heroic, but maybe more softhearted than this world needs, because his and Sorissa’s ideals line up more often than not. And what do you know, before Sorissa came along, he was the one leading the guys in Phantom Fangs. […]

Week 15 – The Creative Flow State



Hey! I wanted to talk a little bit about branding. It’s this elusive thing I’ve been trying to understand for what feels like forever now. Artists develop a style for you to know them by. Authors write in a specific genre and have a specific tone to their stories. Musicians […]
