Ernest Russell
So I answered a call for a book of weird tales. One of my favorite things to write. The central theme of each story needed to be Jazz.
Recently I had read a friend's story about a "guardian." The gist of the story was about a person who had to stay in a lighthouse, and whatever talent they possessed had to be used in keeping a portal to a nightmare dimension closed. Asked them about borrowing the Guardian idea. They were all for it.
My expansion on the theme is every major intersection of ley lines has a guardian because the veils between worlds are thinnest in these locations. New Orleans is such a place. Their character was a writer. Mine a Jazz saxophone player. Thus, The Guardian of Storyville was born. Once both are available for reprint, we have discussed a Guardian Anthology.
