Hello, again Wyrdkin! DasWyrd Press’ work continues as we forge ahead with the eventual release of our first novel. We have yet to set a specific release date, but we are currently aiming for Mid-November. Why we haven’t set a hard date yet is mostly all the work going into my last minute work for Oxford […]
This month on Land in the Stars we bring another short lore podcast on the Mecha Technology of the Avalon Cluster. Wak’a are the mysterious feather cloaked mecha of the Itsuyo Kingship and piloted by the ferocious Knights of Balam. These religious zealots seek to conquer the Avalon Cluster entirely to bring about the foretold […]
June has already passed us and the final half of 2016 has begun! This was a dark and strange eerie month to experience in so many ways, and in other, it was a means of understanding problems still facing the world. This last month was Pride, rainbows were up and we remembered the lives that […]

Our latest episode discusses how diversity can be used in storytelling and the strengths it brings. However, we don’t just talk diversity as a concept in expanding racial, gender or sexual orientation representation, but rather having a diverse group of characters. New points of view add to the story and when balanced create different ways […]
On a similar note I must confess to you, I’m giving very serious thought… to eating your wife. -Hannibal Lector What defines evil? Is it that sadistic love of eating someone? Or is it the questionable ethics of the businessman. Last week I discussed Ethics and different layers of morality. The very notion of evil is questionable […]
School is just around the corner as the second and final semester at Brookes approaches. Sure there is a lot of work to be done between the months of June and September; and I’ll need all that time to achieve the major project before me. It feels kind of strange in a way, but I’ve […]
Book and Cover design are I think one of the most visual aspects of creating a novel. Every book I’ve come to love has usually begun as something I read or a cover I spied while scanning the aisles at a store. Its pretty damn pretentious of me to judge a book by its cover, […]
