Hi y'all, you might know me best as the creator of the comic series Trespasser. But what if I told you that, before Trespasser, I was working on more worlds and stories?

Now recently I have been on a bit of a nostalgia trip and been going over one such story and it struck me that I never really finished it. Sure, I had completed multiple arcs, but the most recent one was never completed. So I pondered, what if I went back to it, but took the opportunity to rework the old arcs as well and iron out some very blatant continuity errors and concept changes?

Now I'm not planning to sideline Trespasser with a new comic series, I'm crazy, but not that crazy. Instead I was thinking that maybe I'd reboot/revamp/re-imagine/revive (?) this as a novel series, which would as it happens fits perfectly because it was only ever text based and kinda novel-y in style near the end anyways.

So my question to you, would you be interested in a story about the rise and fall of empires. About people who question their legacy and their place in history. About war and political philosophy, all spanning across decades and multiple generations?


You can find a taste of what this story looks like here:

One thing to note, the early parts are set in a sort of alt-history earth. Which is why it features locations such as Italy and Thailand. Charcter names are also extremly uninspired early on, pretty much copying whatever pop-culture thing I was watching at the time.

In later version I would "remove the serial numbers" as it were, and bring in more and more worldbuilding of my own.

Really, it was a weird experiment of me trying to hone my storytelling skills, while at the same time playing this nation roleplaying game haha.

Definitely something that would interest me.
