Theories on Ico and Shadow of the Colossus

Greetings Bearers!

As somebody who is deeply in love with the games Ico and Shadow of the Colossus (with the latter being part of the inspiration for the Vein series), I thought it fitting to put together a sketched theory of how the two games are linked (If you know anything about the games, you know what I’m talking about. If not, I strongly recommend checking these games out. Quite fun and rewarding!).

Anyway, the theory document is attached in PDF to this entry. Look below and Enjoy!

See you in the Vein!

Fifth novel written, fourth novel almost edited, third Surrealities soon…

Greetings, Bearers!

Yes, July came and went without any post from me (though without any lost fingers due to firework accidents), and while I do regret that sincerely, I am happy to say that I have now completed writing my fifth novel in the Vein series, and am well on my way to getting the fourth one completed as far as editing goes, and the third installation in my Surrealities series is on its way to being published.

My intended timetable for putting out the fourth Vein novel and the third Surrealities installment is early September, and God willing it’ll be a timetable that goes without interruption (pause for skeptical laugh). The writing has been progressing well, and those of you who have been patiently waiting will soon be rewarded for your anticipation.

In the meantime, summer is in swing for (officially) another month and a half: make sure you get out there and enjoy it. Except for you bums in states like California and Florida, who complain when the weather gets below sixty-five and put on fleeces and jackets (HA! We’re all in tank tops and bare feet in such weather in Michigan, and if you’d like to swap places with me for say, thirty years or so, I’d be happy to trade!)

Before I sign off, I want to extend a hearty welcome and thanks to first-time purchasers of my works! I hope you’re enjoying them and telling others about them! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions! I’ll get back to you soon! Promise.

See you all in the Vein, and soon!
