On Friday, there was a large Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that occurred in the United States that affected Internet traffic and caused online businesses and popular social media sites, as well as cloud computing applications and corporate websites to be unavailable, run slow in opening files or accessing emails, or sites became unresponsive. This attack started on the East Coast and filtered across the country in three targeted waves that initiated in the morning and lasted throughout the afternoon……
This is Rom, coming to you live and direct from the subway tunnels under the Echelons in the Packrat Sprawl. Today is a milestone we reach 50 broadcasts since when the Packrat Underground show started. We have a lot of good things in store today, including a new hacking tool call “See Me” which has been nicknamed “See Me, Kill Me!” by Acolyte who designed the system. The new “See Me” tool is a network port sniffer as well as…..

Now that we have grydscaen: dissonance edited and back to the publisher priming for publication and the grydscaen RPG starter booster pack cards are all formatted for the printer, we can start work back on “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” For the writing of the first novel in the trilogy we are in chapter 14 and the Beta Reader is in chapter 3. So this frees up my time except for my day job to work on Manga pages……
The grydscaen RPG Trading Card game is becoming a reality. Hack your way into the Elite government mainframe and use your psychic powers to ride the virtual reality view of the grydscaen. I have just finished the magic system for the table top game. The first starter booster pack will be available in early 2017 exclusively here on the grydscaen website. The magic system for the game includes psychic powers from the grydscaen series, psychic powers and Talen cards from…..
So with the majority of the character sketches done with only the Valkyris remaining, it is time to start thinking about creating manga pages for “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” I actually need to be proofreading the galley for grydscaen: dissonance but we are procrastinating for now. We were working on “graphic noise” and the associated manga but that became hard because it was about to turn into a love story which is not a place that I wanted…..
Cover Reveal for the next novel in the grydscaen series.

With its scifi…..
I am in the process of creating artwork, character sketches and manga pages for “The Seer of Grace and Fire” the new Dark Fantasy trilogy. Along with creating a Facebook Page, the Seer has become my new passion even as I am supposed to be proofreading the galley for grydscaen: dissonance. I promise I will do the cover reveal shortly but for now here is some Seer art work. The image on the far left is Timorn in a simple…..
So I am working with a beta reader for the new Fantasy book I am writing called “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” I had written previously a post on editing and one on beta readers, but now having actually worked with a beta reader on the first few chapters I have some different insights into the process which I wanted to share. So when I started the grydscaen series I did not want anyone messing with my idea. For…..
Writing a fantasy novel is hard work. The world is very different from a tech noir cyberpunk setting in the future of grydscaen. There are constraints to the world and some of the descriptions have to be different. You cannot say something is tall like a skyscraper unless you are writing urban fantasy set in the current world. The setting for “The Seer of Grace and Fire” includes magic and technology which will be closely related to alchemy so there…..
