Two weeks ago I shared about a conversation a friend of mine and I had regarding our frustrations with how high fantasy is defined within the literary world. The nuances of our discussion, though limited to literature, still had me thinking and referring ...

Making Light
Oh, to be in a cabin on a mountainside surrounded by woods, staring out at the morning whilst sipping my coffee... I'm as close to that as I can be in Kansas, sitting instead in front of a computer writing as I take my daily dose of caffeine. At least there are mountains painted on my mug. A thought, err musing, crossed my mind this morning as I laid in bed snoozing since I had the leisure for once. It's something I've puzzled over for quite a while now.

So last week was one of the year’s most epic moments: San Diego Comic Con. At this geek fest, nerds from far and wide across the globe met to declare their love of all things Geek through cosplay, forums, showcases, meet-and-greets, and so much more, but above all, they came for exclusive, sneak-peak footage of all their favourite franchises. Marvel. DC. Star Wars. The list goes on, and far beyond my memory or interests. Disney, the now affluent parent company of Marvel and Star Wars, did ...
