Camelot

So, the stories of Camelot and Robin Hood have been favorites of mine since I was a kid (I love old, classic movies...)  Naturally I would be drawn to the new series on Starz, Camelot.  Oh my.  I love this show!  Not only does this depiction of Camelot do justice to the story... It is visually incredible.  Initially I was interested because Joseph Fiennes portrays Merlin...  And c'mon.  He was in Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth...  Of course I love this actor.

After one episode, I was addicted.  The characters are strong, the stories and designs are stunning...  And I have found a new love, to which I am shocked I never picked up on him before (He was an archer in Robin Hood!  AND is compared to Errol Flynn *swoon*) Clive Standen.  He plays Gawain, the Maiden's Knight.  He's loyal and protective and all for the battle (sexy)...  Oh, and he's a good actor too... (The picture is from Robin Hood)

Aside from my obsessive watching of Camelot, I have been vigorously writing a series of books.  Not to give too much away, but it's partially an illustrated novel.  Think...  Watchmen meets Pirates of the Caribbean meets Harry Potter meets Dracula.  Yeah.  That kind of book...  Basically there are a collection of reincarnated souls that are trapped on earth, and they must find each other before the army of the undead destroys the human world.  In addition to reincarnation, there are other mythological beings and creatures I add to show that every story, myth, and legend stem from their own truths. Stay tuned!
