Questions 3 and Looking Back at 'Tribe of the Snow Tiger'
Cover Art by Jason Pedersen
Back to the temples in Tribe of the Snow Tiger. This is the 10th volume of Legends of Windemere and started feeling like the homestretch. At least, as far as the writing side goes. Probably felt more like Act 4 of the overall story. So, what can I say about this one?
I had hinted at Timoran Wrath having a secret for a while, but the guy was so low key that I don’t…

The Most Vicious Weasel: The Wolverine
Yes, the wolverine is part of the weasel family along with otters, badgers, ferrets, and a bunch of others. You can kind of see it with the short, stocky body and the attitude of a honey badger. At least if you see a picture since most people picture the comic book character first. Many don’t even realize Wolverine is named after the wolverine. Hugh Jackman apparently didn’t know until he…

Goal Post: Let Spring Break Begin
I made it!
Spring break starts today and work returns on May 1st. Going to get some editing done this weekend as well as pack for a father/son trip. Passover is on Monday, so I’ll get some family time in too. So much is going to happen this coming week, which I’m really hoping to share next Saturday with a very late goal post. Seriously, we’re talking maybe 9 PM Eastern Standard Time. …

Loneliness vs Toxic Relationships
Wilson!
This stems from another comment on a forum where somebody talked about how they stayed in a toxic relationship because they feared loneliness. Other people joined in by saying that they came out too broken to be anything other than lonely. Really made me think about how much a single relationship can damage a person. It can result in them never having a 100% healthy relationship…

Poetry Day: If This Is It
You son of a bitch, Death.
(This poem deals with the concept of the afterlife. Specifically, the possibility that there isn’t one. I hear a lot of people talking about working hard to enjoy what happens after death, but then I see them not actually enjoying life. Other people are forced into that situation simply to survive. What if this is all there is? Death is the end and most people are…

Curved vs Straight Blades
Google Image Search
Saying ‘versus’ isn’t correct. Yet, I do see many people trying to claim that one type is superior to the other. Becomes a whole ‘knight vs samurai’ thing at times. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here owning both styles of swords. I still want to do a short post since some people might think a sword is just a sword. Many are surprised to learn that each one has its own strengths…

Questions 3 and Looking Back at 'The Mercenary Prince'
Cover Art by Jason Pedersen
The 9th volume was another that appeared after I had already started the series and planned the entire plot. The Mercenary Prince filled a gap that I didn’t realize I had made. Well, I felt that I would eventually, but then I realized I was wrong. Once I outlined the original volume 8, I had to made two more. This volume was designed to focus primarily on one…

Hostile Vs. Friendly Planet
Avatar: The Meh One
This subject came about after I read an interesting comment on a Reddit forum. The topic was about the Avatar movies and how humans are the bad guys trying to destroy the environment. Most of the comments were praising the Nav’i and saying humanity had to be more like them. I’ve seen that before. We are a species that really tears into ourselves over how we get along with…

What To Do If a Reboot Fails?
Fant4stic . . . Yeah
The title speaks for itself here. What do you do if you make a reboot and failed? By failure, I mean it’s received the same way one would greet a bag of flaming doggie nuggets on the front porch. People just hate what you have done. Some to the point where they can’t even watch the originals without thinking of the horror you created. You might think that’s an…
