Fiction Series So Big, They Cross Multimedia Platforms
In this article series launched on the Alien Romances Blog called "Fiction Series So Big, They Cross Multimedia Platforms", I explored supernatural fiction series that sometimes had their beginnings as books but branched out into other types of mediums, like videogames, movies/TV series, board/card/role-playing games, and music. In each individual article that introduced entertainment connoisseurs to some incredible fiction or components of similar themed stories they might have otherwise missed, I discussed the origins of the series elements as well as my individual experience with the various types of media, which will be presented as a kind of review of the series.

"Reflections of Life" by Karen S. Wiesner
In looking back over the course of my life as an author who's looking forward to becoming an artist in retirement, I've learned to slow down and reflect on the past, savor the present, and look forward to the future. Interspersed through these ruminations each Friday on the Alien Romances Blog, I included some of my own sketches.
