Ask me something!

[C.C.]

Welcome to my Q&A group! On Saturday, November 17, 2012, I'll be available here to answer any questions about "Rune: A Tale of Wizards and Kings," making comics, DAZ Studio, my WIP graphic novel or anything else you want to talk about.

I'm going to collect questions I've received in other forums.

Nathan asked: Why do the characters in Rune say things like "Quills and ashes!"

The people of Valheigh have a culture that takes writing very seriously. They believe everything written in the Archive is true. They have a saying about how "that which is written cannot be unwritten." Since writing is something they treasure, their expletives center around writing and the materials used for writing, such as pens, paper and ink.

Diana asked: "Is Jinn short for engineer?"

Yes, the name of the Jinn is derived from the middle syllable of engineer. I am a software engineer by day and work with engineers; there are a number of engineering references in Rune.

Mark asked: "Is Rune really set in a post-apocolyptic future?"

Although it's written so that it can be enjoyed as a purely fantasy story, there are clues that it could also be set in our own future.
