I have to say the smoky texture on the wolf's fur, combined with the white blizzard-like effects, give that battle scene a welcome extra touch of...
Thing is, I would argue "diversity" isn't really the underlying concern behind this whole thing. Otherwise it wouldn't seem much different from...
[IMG] Ranger's Wedding Night My characters Mick Hancock, the runaway Texas Ranger, and his beloved African warrior Nothembi are eager to...
The good news is that nearly all of us here are in the "independent writer" category. What over-sized media conglomerates (many of which, unlike a...
