Quality Check in Progress: New Illustrative Edition of “The Lightsmith of Asterion: Awakening Light” (Pre‑Pitch, 98‑Page Screenplay) I’m currently putting the new illustrative edition of my project, “The Lightsmith of Asterion: Awakening Light,” through a detailed quality check as it’s being adapted and reformatted into a 98‑page screenplay that’s now in the development pipeline (pre‑pitch phase). This piece started as a novel–screenplay hybrid—designed from day one not just for readers, but specifically with actors, directors, and production teams in mind. The illustrative edition is meant to serve as a bridge between reading the world and seeing how it can live on screen. What the Quality Check Focuses On I’m treating this QC pass like a mini development lab, with attention on: Story & Structural Clarity Ensuring the hybrid format (prose + script-style passages) reads cleanly and tracks with a conventional 98‑page screenplay structure. Tight alignment between chapter/sequence breaks and the screenplay’s act and beat structure. Illustration & Visual Storytelling Alignment Checking that each illustration supports a key cinematic moment, tone shift, or character beat, rather than just decorating the page. Verifying consistency of visual motifs, environments, and character design so they can translate cleanly into production design and storyboards. Readability for Actors & Directors Making sure dialogue-driven sections and script-formatted passages give clear emotional and performance cues without over-directing on the page. Confirming that blocking, transitions, and visual emphasis in the illustrative edition map logically to how they’ll read in the shooting script. Production Awareness Keeping an eye on scope, locations, and repeatable sets so the illustrated moments line up with realistic production considerations. Making sure the hybrid format can function as a lookbook + blueprint for potential collaborators, not just as a reading experience. Where This Is in the Pipeline Illustrative edition: in final quality check for clarity, pacing, and visual cohesion. Screenplay: locked at 98 pages, currently in development / pre‑pitch—preparing materials for outreach to producers, directors, and reps. Invitation to the Stage32 Community I’m using this QC stage to refine how the project is presented to industry eyes: Actors: Is the material actor-friendly and emotionally playable on the page? Directors: Does the illustrative edition help you “see” the film and its visual language? Producers / Production: Does the hybrid format support conversations around scope, look, and feasibility?

A Mythic Saga Where Magic Meets Machine—and Destiny Is Rewritten In a universe where ancient prophecy collides with futuristic science, four unlikely heroes—Elara the cyber-seer, Thorne the battle-scarred warrior, Zara the rogue alchemist, and Kael the reluctant technomancer—are drawn together by fate to unlock the secrets of the Nexus Key, an artifact capable of reshaping reality itself. Spanning mystical realms, fractured timelines, and multiverse portals, the Avatars of Destiny trilogy blends epic fantasy, sci-fi intrigue, and spiritual symbolism into a cinematic tapestry of courage, transformation, and cosmic warfare. As dark forces rise and reality begins to unravel, the heroes must confront their deepest fears, forge unbreakable bonds, and choose whether to sacrifice everything for the hope of redemption. From WWII experiments to celestial battles, this saga explores the tension between fate and free will, the power of unity, and the awakening of purpose in a world on the brink of collapse. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and The Chronicles of Narnia, Avatars of Destiny is more than a story—it’s a mythic movement ready to expand from page to screen, and beyond.

So, a few people have been talking about the self-pubbed/independent publishing circuit and I think it's important to note what being a hybrid author is. I also wanted to share some of my works to give some idea of how my writing journey developed and what to expect from me in 2024 as well.

From that point on, he tries to rearm “The Kleroterion” based on an Artificial Intelligence. To achieve his idea, he tries to steal the A.I code being developed in the biggest social network in the world. In an attempt to hack the servers, he is caught and put in jail. He spends 10 long years there but before being there he manages to share with others the stolen. When he gets out of prison, he finds out that the world has been changed. Throughout time some of his ideas are materialized. He is back, but this time he tries to hack the reality. His plan is simple: To write a book and use it as a virus for transmitting to everyone the forgotten Kleroterion. His final aim is to finish with all the political parties. All of them can be possible winners. The winner is going to be chosen by “The Kleroterion”. The need to do politics will be completely annihilated, there being no other political confrontations. The book becomes in best seller and soon it signs a contract to make the film “The Kleroterion”. In a short time, everyone knows about “The Kleroterion”. A short time after it, the world elites decide to prove that system in Argentina. In the year 2027, the elections in Argentina are made under the A.I control and “The Kleroterion” program, working as he had programmed it: The human values worth more than the material ones. No one could maintain governing forever anymore. The real change has happened.
