And So, The Fairytale Ends ... ( For Now ) ...

Just a brief post this time around. My first children's novella, 'The Fairytale Thief' has now been completed. It's all done, all finished up, the story has been told and come to its end. 
After nine months of writing it inbetween other projects the adventures of Anna Sparrow and the cat who isn't just a cat have come to a conclusion. It was always intended to be a one off story but now i've reached it's end there's still plenty of ideas i want to explore further and expand on.
So further down the line i wouldn't be surprised if i'm writing about the further adventures of Miss Anna Sparrow.

Well, that's it for now.

See you soon ...

A Call To Arms ...

Well, after a frustrating stop, start beginning to the year things are now moving along really nicely. I've been surprisingly prolific over the last two weeks or so, more than i expected. Both issues 11 and 12 of  'Modern Days' are scripted, these being the first two issues of Vol. 2. The mysterious priest with a liking for frock coats now has a name, Joshua St. John, and he's a formidable antagonist for the main characters of the series.
On a related note a few months ago my regular collaborating artist/ illustrator had to drop out due to personal reasons, so i've now put out a call to any artists out there ( as well as fellow writers ) to work with me on both 'Modern Days' and other projects i have planned, such as an anthology comic book.
The call reads as follows;

Writer/ creator looking to work with writers/ artists/ illustrators on creator owned projects in the comic book medium.

The idea is to work as a group under the umbrella title of DreamStorm Comics. This is a labour of love, independent project with the ultimate aim of selling our work and getting our names out there.

Essentially it would involve writing and illustrating as well as character designs and sample art pages.

Full scripts, character profiles and synopsis will all be available when needed.

Anyone interested can contact me on my Facebook site under  'James Ellis/ Pilgrim's Progress', on my Twitter site under 'jamesellis71'
And also on my National Theatre Wales pages under the name of 'James Ellis' & 'James Ellis- DreamStorm Comics- Writers & Artists' or my E- mail address, 'james.h.ellis71@gmail.com'

And of couse, on this very blog.

Until next time,

James
