I'm back with a newly edited and newly improved version of Once Giants. It's now available in ebook form on Amazon. Come have a peek at the new teaser sampler. :D

Hi guys,
          
          Hope there are still some people out there listening. I've decided to restructure the series into a single book with the individual novellas replacing the chapters. Each story was written to be read as a complete novella so I'm hoping it will make more sense. This will mean you'll see all the other books in my works section slowly disappear as they are added into Vol I, which will be retitled "Once Giants". Sorry for any confusion this may cause and please look forward to some new novellas shortly to progress the series.
          
          Talk soon!

Added a new opening to Vol I. Would appreciate hearing what you guys think. The original version was from the very first shorty, so I was kind of feeling my way around a bit. But I think now I have a better grip on the characters and type of story so I've revamped to set the tone a bit better. 
          
          What do you guys think? Is it better? Let me know!

@TeamContract Ah yes that's a pretty darn good perception - the after it all ended. Good thinking! City of god think I've heard of it, not seen it though, something bout gangstas right? I got the whole comic book vibe from it, and I suppose it would look terrific graphically. I can see it already on paper.  (Dibs on first issue heh)
            I used to have a joke about Amazonian women, which I will take to my grave XD  lol
            Maan the idea is just so profound over the top in every aspect of the word - and I mean in an awe-inspiring way! You guys are gonna be legends B)

            We did a writing class together and I came up with the original idea for Size Queen during it. Size Queen as a character, however, existed in my mind from long before that. I originally came up with her as a joke character on a game called Champions a Super Hero themed MMO. Her superpower was growth. My normal genre of writing is Sci-fi, so when I took the class I had the idea of bringing Size Queen to life in a more realistic manner. So the concept was how can you make a real life superhero and the idea of wrestling came up as a way real life kind of imitates comicbook characters etc. So I took the idea from there and they said, wouldn't it be a more interesting character story if we looked at what would happen to these women 'after' it all ended. What would they do? How would they survive? And the setting was inspired by one of my favorite movies "City of God" and it really fit in with the Amazon theme. When I wrote it, it got such great feedback that Garan suggested I turn it into a series like a comic book and he loved the overall idea so much he wanted to make his own giant wrestler. So we worked out how it would all fit together in the same universe and we sort of went from there. So that's the origin story of Once Giants ^^

@TeamContract Can't wait, I'm still in size queen chapter one :3 Very intriguing I must say, how did you guys come up with the whole Amazonian women wrestling concept, it's like a breath of fresh air. 
            Sure, I've heard of the myth and all but this is a whole new level. Never read anything quite like it before, its amazing what you guys have done :D
