Nones is my personal little self-improvement project. It's intended to help me develop my skills as a writer and an artist. It's also intended to help me commit to one project in the background over a long period of time. Something I've not had much luck with so far. *gulp*
So I hope I can keep this going for a little while, at least. Please be kind while I'm working on it. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please leave me a comment in the forum so I know what I need to focus on.
After I'd been working on Nones for a while I realised just how much the story owes to Diane Duane's Young Wizards series. Then again, considering I started reading these when I was about eight and they had a huge effect on me, I could say that for most of my writing. But to appease my conscience - go and read them, they're excellent. However, Nones is going to evolve in a very different direction. The other big influence on Nones was C S Lewis' The Magician's Nephew.
Finally, Nones is, in essence, a sequel to a short novel I wrote called The Immortal Undone. It builds on a lot of the same ideas.
PLEASE NOTE !
Nones isn't a fluffy story. It has fight scenes, blood, guns, demons, and the occasional naughty word. If you're offended by any of these things, please a) don't read it, or at least b) don't email me and complain about it.
Why is it called Nones?
Nones (and it's pronounced to rhyme with 'bones') is the name of the city the story is set in. The word 'nones' is Latin and refers to the number nine, usually the ninth day of the month. The city of Nones has its name for a reason, but that's part of the story.
How long will it run for?
I honestly don't know. For a good while yet, I hope.
Adree is listed as a main cast member, but I can't find her 'teaser' image.
Adree wasn't originally intended as a main character. I'd done most of the artwork and preparation for Nones with the other three main characters, but as I developed the story I realised there was a larger place for Adree than I had thought.
