As I draw closer to finishing the editing on my up coming novel; which just so happens to be what the Daathverse is based on, I have more time to create Daathverse Transmissions for the YouTube channel. Yup. Back in the lab.

Enter the Daathverse.

I used Bean to create a Template for an illustrated novel. Having searched the web, it appears that illustrated novels are often the same dimension as your standard Trade Paperback. Made some test runs and found it fairly simple to render or generate a page with a graphic. Then I thought of something.

I have a nice little program called Comic Life. I used Comic Life to make two comics in the past. I also used Comic Life to generate the Covers of my novels.


The ease and flexibility at which one may generate pages with graphics is way easier in Comic Life. See above. Built in Templates for comics and/or graphic novels are there. In fact, under the Book Paper Sizes tab, there's a Trade Paperback template as well. I'm sure that's what I used to generate the covers for my novels.

I'm going to search for examples of illustrated novels to get a clearer understand of their unique layout. In just looking at the test run I did using Bean; see top image, I'm thinking utilizing a picture on the left page with text on the right page is the way to go.

Stay tuned.

I've been working for close to a year at editing and in some instances, completely overhauling SJM. I finished this book back in 2014. Had it edited by the late GREAT genre bending writer, Valjeanne Jeffers, then sat on it. No more! This thing is nearly ready for another professional edit!

Sun Juice Mechanics or SJM, has evolved into an extension of the Daathverse. It's almost as if spirit kept me from publishing this work until I developed or started the Daathverse. For those of you wondering what's going with the channel, well, it's the above.

I'm looking forward to getting SJM into the hands of a top notch editor so I can: get it to the people; re-start the Daathverse; drop book two of SJM - which is about 30% done BTW, and get back to hanging out in various FB groups of creators, watching my fav Youtube channels, and honoring the borrowed creativity bestowed upon me at birth.

Hope everyone is doing well. Subscribe to the youtube channel, and sign up here to get notified of future Sun Fiction.

Peace.

Back in business. My original Trademark that I let die is now registered. Just received the notification from USPTO and the law firm I had file the mark. Waiting on USPTO to update their listing from pending to registered. May take a day or two …

Been editing my butt off. Nuff said …

Greetings people. As mentioned last month, future NETERS® projects will likely be in the form of illustrated novels. Or better yet, illustrated novellas. Having previously authored novels and comics, it seems my particular skill-set is best suited or complimented by combining hard hitting prose and cutting edged imagery.

Now unlike the comics that dropped over a decade ago, each story will be a stand alone feature. We're talking potentially 100 + pages of Sun Fiction under the NETERS® umbrella!

Now I just have to decide if the illustrations will be black & white, or color.

Greetings people. It seems to me, that the way to proceed with the type of expression that I have coined as Sun Fiction, is through illustrated novels.

I will continue to author traditional novels. At least finish what I've started, but yeah … future Sun Fiction; especially as it relates to all things NETERS® will be illustrated novels.

Sut as a child. He was always different.

NETERS RE-imagined. A novel. Stay tuned.

We back in the lab.

Sut -

Master of the EBB-/-FLO. An Orisha-Reflexive-System of his own design. It allows its practitioners to display vast Neter level abilities. Sut is considered a planetary threat, as he is capable of sending equally powerful expressions of himself anywhere in the world instantaneously.

These expressions are fully conscious and capable of independent thought and action. It is observed that they maintain their presence and agenda until they come in contact with an older expression; for which time the more recent of them simply ceases to exist.

Even the Totem fear him.
