So Many Thoughts, So Little Mind

I got a little wild with DAZ Studio and produced this picture, among others. This is Thalia Thalassaki, the protagonist of the story I am working on currently. I know what you’re thinking, that she’s a mermaid, but the truth is she’s a nereid, a sea nymph from Greek mythology. Of course Thalia has discovered that nereids aren’t so mythical after all.

Sought by the greed of men since the dawn of humankind, but only bestowed upon the woman whose fate it forever scars – the Witchblade. Is it the Righteous Sword of God, or the Hand of the Devil himself? Now a new bearer has been chosen and she must discover the answers for herself. As she stands on the brink of destiny, she is forced to seek the balance between ecstasy and ruin…

I’m not a really huge anime fan, I have to work pretty hard to find a series that actually grabs and holds my interest. One of those that succeeded recently was Witchblade.

Did you ever do something really, I mean monumentally dumb? The kind of bone-head thing that makes you want to bang said head bone against the wall? Well, I apparently am gifted that way…

I’ve added some info about my current literary effort, a space opera entitled ‘Forged in Fire’. Check the My Writing link above or to the right. You’ll also find links there to my previously published work.

Luna is a remarkable story. It’s told from the perspective of Regan, a sixteen-year-old girl whose brother, Liam, is transgender. Liam comes into Regan’s room at night and lets the girl within out, dressing and posing, and playing hell with poor Regan’s sleep cycle. She is the only one who knows the secret, that her brother really should be her sister, and she has kept that secret for years.

First! Well, at least I think I’m the first … do I get a prize if I am? I just have this compulsion to sign up for things online – which probably explains the huge quantities of spam that pours into my inbox. So, what shall I do with all this?
That’s gonna require some thought….
