'Nero's Fiddle' main story line is nearly finished
Nero's Fiddle is coming together after I got over the hump struggling with too much material... not a bad problem to have, but I'm such a packrat I hate to throw anything away.
I'm trying to thread a needle between three powerful influences. I need to stay as true as possible to the ever-worsening national political scene and characters I'm parodying (except when intentionally deviating). I also wa Read more of this blog post »

| I just grabbed this on a whim because I had no idea what to expect and honestly, I am glad. The intensity of the opening scene is through-the-roof, and that intensity doesn't let up for much. The opening is ominous and lends the soundtrack a bit of t ...more | |
