When you don't have the money to pay people, you have do things yourself.  As my mother in law says, "If you don't have a dog, you have to hunt with the cat."   I am very proud of the work I have done.  I used Ka-Blam, an on demand printer to publish.  This way I[...]

With that idea, a script was written, a creative team assembled and a recent Kickstarter launched with the hope of bringing the story to life.
