Call for Submissions for a Book Cover
Today I officially passed the halfway point of my first real effort in writing a long-form story and I decided that it was time to start putting together the more ancillary things like a blurb, pricing line editors,
And cover art.
And there's no better place than dA to do that, so...
It's a hard SciFi story dealing with interdimensionality so surrealism is okay. The main protagonist is a 20s Asian female, physics PhD, science journalist. A secondary protagonist is a middle-aged African American male, photojournalist. Oh, and the other dimension has giant floating Portuguese Man O War jellyfish. And less gravity.

Cultural Awkwardness Made Me Change My Hero's Name
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine who is helping critique the first draft of a book that I'm writing, told me that she really liked the name that I had given to my protagonist but asked my why I had decided to change it from what it was originally.
So here's my answer along with how I developed her in the first place.
The Creation Pathology of My Protagonist and Why I Changed Her Name
The Lovechid of Lovecraft and Taiwan
So yeah, I've just finished up a weird sci-fi horror short story...again, with TENTACLES (and a Taipei night market, a punk gangster, and a radio...sort of).
I would truly appreciate a read and any comments you may have. You can read the short story in it's entirety on my author's blog.

Shift Space, my Writer's Blog (with Tentacles!)
Most of my friends know that besides photography, reading, and being frustratingly annoying I like to write. I especially like to write in the same genre of movies and books I consume the most, science fiction. Up until now I’ve either not published the things that I’ve written or, in the case of my current endeavor, serialized it to my street photography & travel blog. Recently I have to decided to put a little more effort in to my writing and as part of that effort I’ve decided to separate my public linguistic expressions from my photographic expressions.
