THE ENDLING SAGA
2017…
…my third book, The Spiral Path, has been released. I knew I wanted to tell more stories, but I didn’t want to (just) write a book. I wanted to try something new, something that encompassed all my passions & whatever skills I’ve picked up over the years. Books for sure; comics, art, animation, games too. Anything. Not ‘MultiMedia’ but ‘AllMedia’.
Inspired by sandbox IPs (Star Wars the benchmark), simulation theory, physics & motorcycles I began working on THE ENDLING SAGA. It’s an ongoing thing, a slow-burner, a labour of love. But it’s getting there.
Below is a little intro. But to fully dive in, head to TheEndlingSaga.io.
““The Endling Saga is a testament to the evolving nature of storytelling in the digital age, blending traditional narrative elements with interactive and community-driven components. It’s a project that spans across media, inviting audiences to not just consume the story but to become a part of it.””
“I’m far from a lord with no pathway to change that. I live in a region of High Wail called The Souse, y’see. The only child of a decent pair who work the same as every other here: catching fish and building and a bit of farming and any other f*cking thing to scrab a life together.
High Wail is wet and grey and cold and The Souse is the wet, grey, cold part of it. We who live here like to think we counter the weather with friendliness, but like all people the friendliness is only a mask, thick as cobweb.

A LOVE LETTER TO STORIES, DREAMS & MYTHS...
THE ENDLING SAGA is a story project. About stories.
It is a love-letter to myths and pop-culture. To Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, 800-page fantasy tomes, anime, puzzles, philosophy, films, gaming, physics, theology, weird helmets, real dragons & sentient motorcycles.
It is an attempt to show how pop-culture is high art. Because popular culture is all about the stories humanity tells to itself, from pure escapism to creation myths. It is contemporary mythology.
These stories can be told in the abstract or as simple entertainment. There are no limits in how they can be delivered. The Endling Saga is also a love-letter to that. A story told in any genre, any medium, any way.
This lends itself perfectly to curation. How would others, from all kinds of creative disciplines, interpret the ideas put forward in the Saga?
The answer is SAGAWORLD.
