Right now I'm finishing the last chapters of Alliance of Steel, the second book on the series and the conclusion of the first arc. I'm also developing my Youtube channel of literary criticism.

It started as an idea for a comic book. I won't lie, my artist and me were going to seriously rip-off Devil May Cry, Hellsing and Berserk. But due to disagreements about what we really wanted to tell, we split. Years later, I retook the idea and started discarding concepts and setting new ones. That's where Djinn Awakes came from.

Wesley and Buttercup, from "The Princess Bride". Even with its satirical connotations and over-the-top love declarations, there was actual chemistry between the characters and their sincerity went beyond the parody to make it real.
