Scavengers Reign is a fantastic sci-fi series with a wide range of dangerous and gorgeous flora and fauna. My favorite characters were Levi, Azi, and Barry. The show feels like what would have been featured on MTV’s Liquid Television in the 1990s. I hope there will be more seasons.

• Animation: I had to get used to the character design of the humans, as it’s not as detailed as some of the other animation I’ve watched. However, once I became used to the style, I was able to immerse myself in the series. Of special note is the incredible range of creatures. There are so many beautiful ones.
• Cast: The voice actors were spectacular. They truly carried the fears of being in the harrowing situation of getting stranded on an unfamiliar planet. Dash Williams as Barry, Alia Shawkat as Levi, and Wunmi Mosaku as Azi were the standout performers to me.
• Music: The soundtrack is one I’ll listen to separately, while I’m writing my own stories.
• Story: This series features a gripping tale. There are few circumstances more difficult than being lost in hazardous and unknown territory. The characters truly show the range of human reactions to such a volatile environment, where the largest challenges come from other humans.

It’s the Autumn of 2024! The air will be nice and crisp. Here are my writing plans for this season.

The Architect’s Guardian: I’ll be publishing Discovering, the sequel to Awakening, on December 17, 2024.

Dragon Shifter Fantasy Series: Drafting for my fantasy m/f romance is going well. I anticipate releasing this series after finishing The Architect’s Guardian Trilogy.

It’s interesting to consider character traits in terms of introverted and extroverted. I might create a character who I see as quiet and reserved, whereas some readers might consider that character as having red flags.

At times, more introverted characters may come across as suspicious. I think that’s because extroversion is more acceptable than introversion and the flaws of an extroverted individual are more easily forgiven. Anyway, just musing…

Here are some random tidbits about my writing:

Average Chapter Length: Usually 2,500 words. If I really want to highlight an event, I’ll have it in a shorter chapter, e.g., an experience critical to a character’s development.

Characters’ Personalities: My main characters tend to be curious and stubborn. 😁

Genres: Most of what I write is sci-fi. I do have two contemporary stories I’m drafting, as well as a fantasy one. I’m excited to share them!
