FANTASY BOOK TRAILER

The trailer for Dawn of the Dark Ice has just been released. Check it out:

FANTASY BARD

After being exposed to bard characters such as Dandelion from The Witcher and Scanlan from Vox Machina, I am thinking of creating my own bard character in future sequels of Dawn of the Dark Ice.

GIANT WARRIOR

Average warriors can be formidable, but what if they were larger and more ferocious than the average fighter? Two examples of this are Gregor Clegane from Game of Thrones and Grog Strongjaw from Vox Machina. Even though these two men are large and mighty warriors, their personalities are fundamentally different. Gregor Clegane is more of a thug than a true knight while Grog is a big lovable idiot when he is not fighting. In future sequels to Dawn of the Dark Ice, I will be featuring my own large warrior character. Like Gregor Clegane, my character will be eight feet tall and be a terrifying warrior, but will have a heart that’s bigger than his brain like Grog. In fact, my character will have the temperament of a small child, but will become a mindless berserker when he is in the heat of battle. I am even picturing him wielding two weapons at the same time.

FANTASY ROGUE

Some fantasy characters are referred to as rogues. Rogues specialize in stealth and often work as either spies, thieves, or assassins. If you need someone who can infiltrate areas, picks locks, or is skillful with knives, a rogue is the kind of person you turn to. I am thinking of creating a rogue character in future sequels to Dawn of the Dark Ice. My rogue character will be like a fantasy equivalent to Han Solo.

FANTASY ESCAPISM

When writing my fantasy books, I feel like the kid from The Never-Ending Story. I get to leave my real life worries and grievances behind and escape to a fantasy world of magic and imagination. It truly is a glorious sensation to experience.

DINOSAUR EPILOGUE COMPLETE

I have finished the epilogue for the second volume of The Kaligen Experiment. It is going to be scary and unexpected. It will also foreshadow the biological calamity that is to come later in the series. I will need to reread some of the chapters to reacquaint myself with the story before I can move on. I will keep you updated on all developments.

SHARK RESPECT

Like most people, I am completely afraid of sharks. However, I deeply respect sharks as well. The reason for this is because sharks are one of evolution’s greatest success stories. They are the product of 400 million years of evolution and have survived one mass extinction after another, including the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Even though sharks are being hunted around the world and some species may go extinct due to human activity, as a whole sharks will outlast mankind like they outlasted countless other species. I respect sharks because of their extraordinary ability to survive the unsurvivable.

DINOSAUR EPILOGUE

Before I continue the main story of the second volume of The Kaligen Experiment, I have skipped to the epilogue. The reason for this is because it is going to be a juicy foreshadowing of what is to come in future volumes. You think it’s over simply because you are off Kaligen Island? It’s not over. The games have just begun.

RETURN OF THE CAN

In the latest trailer for the fifth season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, we got a hint that the Barbasol can that Dennis Nedry used to smuggle embryos out of Jurassic Park has returned. I wonder how this will affect the franchise as a whole. Once Nedry took the embryos out of cryostorage, they only had 36 hours before they were useless to Biosyn. With this in mind, this may be a flashback of someone salvaging the can immediately after the events of Jurassic Park in 1993. Since Mantah Corp are the antagonists of Camp Cretaceous, I wonder if they were the ones who salvaged the can and used the DNA to create some of the dinosaurs on their private island. I hope we get answers when the new season comes out.

PREHISTORIC INSPIRATION

I am beyond thrilled for when Prehistoric Planet begins streaming. Not only will it satisfy my dinosaur fanaticism, but it will serve as a possible source of inspiration for future volumes of The Kaligen Experiment. Documentaries about dinosaurs and prehistory have served me well in terms of inspiration.
