My Stories

My stories will go here.

The Morning People.
When civilization collapses, a fractured fiefdom in America. A postmodern city, guarded by the weirdos in the margins of the society.

....what happens when you take Lord of the Rings, and imagine it in a fractured post-WWIII America.

The Amberstone
A fairy tale, made by an 8 yr old. Retold and embellished a decade later for an 8 year old....Three sisters, orphaned and torn apart by war, wolves, and slavers. Pirates, tigers, sieges and swords.

Where the Lilies Truly Grow
A fairy tale, inspired by C.S.Lewis' Till We Have Faces, and a vivid dream.

The Woodcutter and the Wolf-King
A child's fairy tale (picture book style) I'm still working on the illustrations.

Statheros.

Scifi Western, retelling of Constantine in a neoRoman futuristic empire.

Joan of Arc---made a script in college. Want to rewrite it. Maybe turn it into a graphic novel. Or a miniseries [6 episodes?]. Perhaps CGI makes those sweeping battle scenes achievable. I really only need a cast of 20 really good actors, and perhaps 50 really good soldier-extras + CGI....though Pennsic might pull this off......It'll take the real Joan of Arc to rally the Pennsic folks to her banner....

For the townspeople extras, maybe a few hundred. [Domremy, Orleans, Compiegne, Rouen] This shouldn't be too hard. Find a reenacting roup, or a homeschool convention, or a Catholic group.

For the Trial, will need at least 50 middle-aged men, who look like churchmen.

Star Wars Episodes I, II, III---reimagined, with the older lore.

The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and the Revenge of the Sith, but transmuted. Re-magined and made to be consistent with the early Star Wars lore of the 80s and the 90s [Timothy Zahn's original Thrawn Trilogy, and the lore of hte Del Ray role playing star wars books of the 80s]. And a dash of more Star Wars legends thrown in....

[insert movie poster pics]

Phantom Menace---ObiWan fighting the Sith. Owen holding two blasters out, either Anakin and Padme in the ice-cave at Zhirir, both blasters drawn OR Padme or Anakin jumping down with Padme in the coronation gown with his blaster drawn OR Padme and Anakin fighting their way out of hte pirate den, with Anakin knife-fighting with the sword of Amidala?  QuiGon, Jar Jar in some action sequence. Giant sea monster in the background. Ominous cloning tanks. Paedrun somehow?

Attack of the Clones----should basically look like a war movie poster, Anakin looking older, and also holding a lightsaber. Lots of ship battle explosions in the background. Maybe Padme in her grey gown looking up at the ship pulling up off the docking tower. Or have Padme and Anakin in the Sith Cave, she's looking up, he's holding the saber?

Revenge of the Sith---EPIC STAR WARS POSTER. HUGE SITH AND JEDI ARMIES clashing, giant ships [Malak's ship] in teh background, lots of Jedi and Sith facing off. Force lightning, lots of lightsabers, etc. Spaceships. Gungans [Jep Do?] crouching down, blaster out. Maybe a clone's helmet, or Vader's helmet in the background? Small and on the side, maybe just Padme with her hair flowing down, clutching a baby to her, with her eyes closed. Lots of explosions all around.
