So, while I’m busy working on editing “Odysseus Wept” I’m also writing content for a separate book called “Tropes” that I’ve been keeping under the radar. “Tropes” is a book of shorter fiction that usually focuses on stories that use concepts that have either been done to death or turned into cliches right from the get-go. So, obviously, I’m not claiming originality in these stories, but I will certainly do my best to say: “You know what? What about this take on it?”
The main reason I’m posting up here is just for a little bit of transparency. One of the tales in “Tropes” has a lot to do with “what happens when a kaiju dies in your city?” This is an older story of mine. But there’s a movie coming out from Japan that looks like it’s gonna play with similar concepts, and all power to that movie!
I hope it’s a great film because obviously, I loved the idea. I’m pretty sure there won’t be much overlap between what I have and what they’re doing, but just want to state that my story is probably a decade old — they didn’t steal from me, I hope no one ever thinks I stole from them!
I’m likely going to sell “Tropes” directly from this web-site, so be on the lookout for that.
