It's Why They Fear the Water...

I’ve been working a lot on some of the possibilities for the next book and though, for the most part, we have a good solid game plan, there will be some figuring out to do for the last section of the book. The first part (possibly the first 3/4th of the book will be stories of Berona’s War, the end of the book will pose as a possible new treat.
Anthony and I haven’t really figured out any exacts to what we want to do with the over-all look to the third party but we know we want it to be 30% fun mixed in with 70% scary! Maybe something a bit different then the characters from Berona’s War. But what we do know is that it’s going to be a challenge for our little heroes.
The Ele-Alta and the Cropones have plenty of experience with destroying one another but the challenge will come when they are faced with a new foe…An enemy with far more firepower and superior technology. It will be their challenge!
I am a huge fan of the classics. Black and white monster movies, you know, the Evil Alien Brain From Planet X, kinda stuff!!! Godzilla, War of the Worlds, Jason and the Argonauts, anything where you have one who triumphs against many!
Having said that, I love the idea of combining the Ele-Alta’s sheer brute force with the cunning intelligence of the Cropones…and at the end of the day, it’s still not enough! So how will they overcome? Hell if I know, but it’s gonna be good!!!

these are just a few Coffey Shop sketches, trying to figure out a "feel" to the new threat...
