Stuff I’ve written about writing and reading in particular.
The Twin Stones
I should begin with a little background on this long but wonderful little story. Years ago, I played the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The following was very much inspired by the lore behind that video game, but even if you don’t know anything about WoW, you should be able to read this. As I stated […]

I also mentioned that I was using the city of Philadelphia as the inspiration for this sequel, creating the fictional urban city of Lefteria. In doing […]
