At the age of fifteen, I was challenged by my grandfather to create fictional characters of my own, instead of wasting my talents on other peoples' creations, as he put it. The first thing to consider was location. As a fan of the comics of the seventies and eighties, I always wondered why the South never had any of their own mainstream heroes and villains? And so it began, deciding plot locations and storyline ideas, until shortly afterwards, when I came up with my first character creation; Nickolas Landry, a.k.a. Dragon's Fang. The goal was to create my own world of comic book titles. This carried on for the next thirty years, of me creating and recreating characters and stories, never giving up on my dream. During this time, I discovered how life has a tendency to get in the way of a dreamer, but I never gave up. It was after my mother past away in 2009, that a door was opened to me. A good friend of mine had already read the Cuda manuscript and urged me to get it published. It was Authorhouse who invited me in through that opened door. Although Nick was my first creation, his story wasn't my first release. I chose to release Cuda as my first book, simply due to the fact that it was the only story that I wrote not in comic book layout form. The second book North & South: the Confederate Soldiers, solved several dilemmas that I had for the release of Dragon's Fang. The first being with the main character of the second book guest starring in Dragon's Fang. Now it is ready, and received by Authorhouse, Dragon's Fang will be in print this summer, with Part II of North & South: Lines Drawn, coming out this fall. Thirty years is a long time to believe in something with no return to offer, but I never gave up. The goal was simple, work on my stories,characters and art work, continuing to improve every aspect, until the time arrived to share my creations to the world. Now through Authorhouse, this dream is becoming reality. Stacy A. Wright frontlinefiction.com
