This one is going to be interesting to talk about. I'm definitely no stranger to being inspired by other people's thoughts or musings, but it's been a while since I've been so motivated to continue on with an idea like this one. But for now, let's talk about book one in what's planned to be a duology.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT—
Sanguineous Salvation is quite the mouthful, but it's a short story that takes place in a fictional Italian village where protagonist Fiore Iandanza grew up, left, and is now returning to. While away, Fiore learned a great deal about the world, especially about things that have no logical or "reasonable" explanation, and when they return home, they soon discover that their esoteric knowledge can be put to immediate use.
This is a fun little short story that clocks in at 16 pages of readable content, and again, there is already a sequel planned that I more than likely won't work on until next month or the one after. (Oh god, it's already the end of the year...)
