The World of Aaron as of Now

Well, those of you who are friends of me on facebook know that I am now moved into my new studio apartment in Intown Gaffney. It's not much of a space, but it is mine and it will give me all the creative space I'll need to focus on my stories when I'm not out working long hours at one of my two jobs. My first short story, titled, "The Blue Lupine" which is also the main character of my modern day novel called "Xenoearth."

I guess I might as well give a little background on the setting.


Xenoearth


The Blue Lupine short story is set about a half a year before the shift. Magic is still a reality, but it is like a leaking faucet; unnoticeable to most, and not enough comes out except for those with enough natural ability of their own to make use of it. Blue is one of those people as is seen with his ability to tap into his body's natural energy, or ki, and use it to perform superhuman feats of speed and strength. I won't spoil how the story goes, I'll let you read it yourself in the September issue of the Australian magazine "This Mutant Life."

My next short story which is still in the works is called Project Blue. It is a documentation of a lead biochemist that had worked with the strange substance called "mana" or magic in its pure liquid form. It explains the first encoutner with the substance, what it can do, and the various experiments that are performed with it.

The full length novel, which is simply called Xenoearth, is in many respects, the origin stories of most of the major players in the books to come. The fateful day had come, and hordes of zombies had been risen from their graves to strike at the living. They were beaten back for the time being, but the damage had been done, leaving all but the biggest of cities intact. A massive blizzard which didn't follow any sort of natural laws of weather swept through the world from Russia and many people took it as a bad omen. People began to change, animals began to change, creatues that were thought to be the stuff of myth and legend prove to be all too real as they move in to stake a claim on this new earth. It's hard to say, who exactly the main character of Xenoearth is, but overall, Glenn Allister a.k.a., The Blue Lupine, and Malcolm Wesler, who will also be known as Bloodpyre later on are the characters that will get the most screen time.


That's all for now, so have a good day, keep and open mind, and question everything.
