Well honestly it all started because every time I read a high-fantasy book it's loaded with heroes. Even Bilbo Baggins was a hero. Oh yeah he started out a nothing but before the story ends...well!! So it seems to me every time a wizard waves his wand or a gang of Orcs storms a village, everyone dies! Guess that's normal in Fantasy. In some stories thousands of people die and the reader is never even told their names. So I thought why not write about those people! So I started with Odie, a simple innkeeper and the first "short story" was about him. But you can't have a story about just one insignificant, can you? So by the end of 44 pages I introduced an entire town full. Well, then my daughter said emphatically, "Dad, I'm an ordinary person and I don't consider myself insignificant!" So anyway the more I write about these people the more she is correct and in fact most will eventually become heroes in their own right. However, I tray to give most characters names and personalities, even if their role is small. The series was already named...so that's it!
