Johnny Saturn

Hi, Folks!

Item—The Johnny Saturn Store is officially open!  I haven’t got the eBooks formatted and uploaded, but they are coming soon and will probably be on site for next week.  Everything else is primed and ready to go!

Item: People at conventions have often asked Benita and me where our ideas come from.  The answer is easier than you might suspect, because most ideas become self-generating idea machines in their own right.  In other words, once we’ve established a character, he will often become semi-autonomous, telling us how he will react to any given situation.  Good characters write themselves!  Settings are the same way, really, and they will tell us what type of stories fit well in their fictional environment.  When you have a world as well established as Spire City, it’s virtually a machine with ideas as parts, and it will chug along, producing more possible stories than we could ever write in a human lifetime.  I don’t really have time to explain this at conventions, but now you know.

Item: Here’s a great piece of art contributed by Canadian artist, Brad Bowers, the regular penciler on Spinner Rack’s “Honor Brigade.”
