Welcome to the Convergence ... The Gateway to the Worlds of my Novel Series: Of Crimson Indigo and the developing vision of a series for television.

Crimson and Indigo are two young, star-crossed lovers whose journey has propelled them from one existence to another-across multiple lifetimes and alternate realities to a place where their love may survive. But now, with both near the end of their existence on a world where the past, present, and future coexists, the two temporal travelers must forge a new relationship with one another in the fever of a budding love affair that may-well consume them. However, for the assassin, Crimson, the past suddenly no longer has any meaning.
Stripped away, leaving the once torrid love affair burning within her soul until nothing more than a fleeting memory of a flame of the heart remains, Crimson Krydal Starr finds herself strangely drawn to a formidable young bounty hunter, whom she finds herself marooned with on a mysterious world at the threshold of a spatial rift, where she is taunted by memories of her previous existence, and the probability of losing the one thread of her life capable of rekindling her love for the torcheres soul of Indigo, the bounty hunter against the irritable prospect of being consumed by the littoral breathtaking metamorphosis of a universe in the midst of a temporal convergence, the young lovers must confront their own demons like pawns in some proverbial game of chess and find a way to restore the future, before their future existence is erased from history, forever...

OF CRIMSON INDIGO

The original concept for Of Crimson Indigo: Points of Origin was to tell a ten part story that had no beginning or ending, only the sum of it's parts. It was to be an intricate look at the human condition, how reality shapes our perception of what is real and what is make believe. It was to be multi-generational, hence giving it the span of multiple lifetimes for the events of the saga to come to fruition and draw in logical conclusions to the end points of the story, but something changed mid-stream. A new element was born that altered the course of the project laying the ground work for something unbelievably formidable in size and shape.

What if the story wasn't just multigenerational, but rather multiple individual lifetimes in stature. Future Course™ was born, and a single comic book was released exploring the aspects of a minor character in the story. But the demise of the company prevented any further development of the project and the first rendition of the property was scrapped until a second incarnation of Future Course took shape in the spring of new era. Alien Landscapes and Marauders of the Black Sun hit the drawing board as perspective feature film projects altering the concept of the saga still again. This time the element of the possibility of being the first IMAX feature film was introduced with the probability of having ADI and ILM respectively considered as part of the production's Visual Effects providers .
On the morning of a proposed trip to ILM, for a visual effects meeting disaster once again struck the project, this time in face of a major earthquake in Southern California. A disaster that put the project on the back burner for nearly a decade. It seemed success for this property would never come. However, Future Course™ continued with a twist, and a resurrection that rekindled a new incarnation of the project that would breathe fresh life into the property, and in essence, an entirely new reality. So, with the seed of an idea as the foundation, the adventure once again crossed the threshold from one existence to another in a groundbreaking direction ... The Living Machine Chronicles™.

With a new twist, and a resurrection that rekindled a new incarnation of the project breathing fresh life into the property, and in essence, an entirely new reality as the foundation of an adventure that would take another turn, and once again cross the threshold in a ground breaking direction ... FUTURE COURSE: The Living Machine Chronicles™.
During the Britton Productions era, with the release of Brand Name Comics and Reoccurring Images imprints, Future Course™ Issue One hit the Direct Market through twenty-two distributors worldwide. This time, the idea was to look at the backstory through the eyes of two small living machine characters, which in later editions led to the creation of the Of Crimson Indigo Saga would introduce a race of TRODS™ (Tandem Remote Operations Directive Specialists) who's sole purpose in life was to conduct a search for the creator of machine kind. Hence, the birth of the living machine™ concept took root, clearing the way for the concept of Living Light technology™ and the creation of a ground breaking aspect of the overall saga.

FUTURE COURSE

Alien Landscapes ™ screenplay rewrites proceeded with several drafts, introducing a new wave of characters and the idea of symbiont/host relationships, whereby the idea of corporate runners, bounty hunter and assassin blended temporal agents could function as time traveling operatives for the five major corporate entities that subjugated entire worlds under industry rule with an iron-fist grip on the known universe,.

As Alien Landscapes continued to develop, the idea of dimensional travel was introduced into the storyline, and the temporal wave corridor harbored the idea of multiple universe/multiple incarnation prospective introduced through the escapades of twin sisters, separated by both time and space as well as universes. Alien Landscapes also introduced the concept of the ITOL, a spacefaring militaristic entity of warriors that policed the temporal wave corridor travelers which lead to the creation of the public transit system for inter-dimensional travel, and the concept of a bloodhound used to remove unwarranted travelers from the transit system.
The backstory for the characters of Jake Ramious™ and Krydal Starr™ took shape, and the first inkling of Crimson and Indigo began to reveal itself. However, at this point, both characters had little connection or resemblance to the personification of the inevitable incarnation blending the characterization would produce, giving life to Crimson and Indigo.

Next, the saga continued with a new incarnation of our heroes, and villains, which would allow the project to rise from the ashes of everything that came before. This new property, in principle laid the groundwork for the new novel series dedicated to the backstory of a universe within a universe, and the building blocks of the mysterious world of SODIN.

California Departure

The new incarnation of our heroes and villains, allowed the project to pave the way for a new adventure and introduce the backstory's building blocks leading to the mysterious world of SODIN, but leaving California for the fringes of a new adventure, one door closing, another opening, set the next decade in revision mode, altering the project in both the scope of the saga and the overall direction of what was to come and The birth of a new corporate entity ...
The saga needed a new hook, something that could drive the story via the hero through a world where anything seemed possible. Suddenly, the scope of the project blossomed into a nine-headed monster, complete with intertwining tangents that spun off into different storylines like a never-ending monster of their own. So I set out to clear my mind, update the slate, and explore a few new ventures along the way. Several short tales took shape, short stories from the fringe of Crimson Indigo and a host of other avenues ... The Eye of the Machine, Hyperspeed: Maximum Torque, The Antiquity, The Family Goops and A Mere Drop of Sunshine: The Christmas Auction.
Samuel Nomad's New America and Of Crimson Indigo: Tales of the Master-builders further developed the backstory, introducing the concept of a planet size machine housing the failed project of the five galactic corporations responsible for creating an area of space, which would become known as the Triad Abyss™, the birthplace of the alternate reality connecting the threshold between universes, while exposing the past, present and future of both Crimson and Indigo's competing realities.

Samuel Nomad's NEW AMERICA™

TALES OF THE MASTER-BUILDERS™

The concept of the Industries' Temporal Convergence Laboratory was introduced, and the aspects of a future with two pasts exploded into the encapsulation of the multiverse theory, with multiple outcomes for every decision the characters chose. What happened in one universe, didn't necessarily happen in the other and the concept of temporal distortion fields were introduced to explain the concept of age differences, blended characters and separate lifetime experiences: One universe devouring the other, within the confines of the interconnecting corridor thresholds between universes. As a result the concept of the failed experiment never being able to be shut down fit the bill for the threshold of temporal convergence. To this day, the course of the story has allowed for some sort of passage between the past, present and future within the connected universes. With the launch of Fausclan Entertainment, LLC the first novel venture into the saga of Crimson Indigo launched worldwide with Of Crimson Indigo: Points of Origin introducing the reader to the concept of the UCP (Universe Creation Project) and SODIN, (Secure Off-world Divergence Interchange Nexus), and the proposed site of the Industries Time Step Core™ experimental facility.
Although limited by the aspects of small press, reviews showed the readership's acceptance of the tale with a compelling positive response.
The concept of SODIN added a level of game play to the overall structure of the saga, and the revolutionary aspects of SODIN and the Time Step Core added to experimentation, exploring the scientific basis of wave corridor propulsion technology, while introducing an entirely new means of high-speed transportation to propel our characters across time, throughout the galaxy. Our characters needed a mode of transit that allowed them to cross the space-time boundary separating the layers of the universe, and the fabric of temporal waves connecting the multiverse, the creator of machine kind while providing the threshold of a gateway to an old enemy, a temporal war that spanned the threshold of one existence into another. All of which had at the potential to cause the demise of both species of an as yet, unknown branch of humanity.

With the release Of Crimson Indigo: Points of Origin, Tales of the Master-builders, and Samuel Nomad's New America, the concept behind the SODIN Time Step Core™ expanded to envelop the idea of worlds being linked by the temporal gateway between the past, present and future, which allowed for the possibilities of adding the Industries manipulation of the timeline of a backwater planet at the heart of an area of space know as the Border Region.

As the corporate entity developed in the adversarial body plaguing the worlds under Industry rule, the aspects of the TSC's temporal convergence continued to develop in size and scope until the idea blossomed from a space-based research laboratory to a hidden laboratory hidden within the great machine lodged at the core of a planetary body. The powder keg fuse was suddenly lit, and the reality of the planet-sized world machine became the basis for the interaction in the Of Crimson Indigo: Points of Origin novel, on which wave corridor propulsion technology was first introduced during the early outlines of the Crimson Indigo saga. Considering the importance of an ancient technology, lead to the creation of Haulers Incorporated™, Vex Redford™ and Rooka Trent™ it was important to introduce a young version of Jake Ramious in an alternate reality, before his blending with the Crimson assassin took place in a third spinoff storyline tangent.

Haulers Incorporated and the Eye of Armageddon introduced the Dragon Wing Hauler, which used an entirely new means of high-speed multi-phasic transit throughout the galaxy, hence the company's slogan became "Throughout time, across the Universe..." The saga would eventually break the space-time boundary separating the layers of the universe and the temporal wave corridor connecting the multiverse.

Meet Olivia Sutton™

As we continue into uncharted territory, and the saga undergoes a transformation, lets address the aspects creating a hero, who uses her faculties, skills and expertise to master the journey, learn from her mistakes, and to rise above the challenges of an old world to face the tests of an all new one.
Olivia Sutton™, 28, Human Female, an Archeologist/Anthropologist with historical restoration experience, and a lust for life. It's important that she is proficient in ancient civilization restitution. But more important, the idea of lifecycles needed to be introduced, so we added another twist to the character's make up. We allowed for life reincarnation, or lifespan regression. In other words, she needs to retain the knowledge of multiple lifetimes, so we made her smart and experienced. She has a quick wit and is quite funny when the situation warrants it. Otherwise, she’s down to earth, levelheaded, and loves a good challenge; she’s very competitive. Sometimes she outthinks her companions, and as a result Olivia needs to be cantankerous when it comes to her crew, but figures they will grow out of his childhood pranks at some point in their adolescence. She’s just not sure when it will begin, so she considers James very cute, but childish. Most important, Olivia has good motherly instincts and usually can get along with either of her traveling companions, although she has affection for one, and is secretly in love with him. Race, however, doesn’t have a clue, or at least he doesn’t let on that he knows. Either way, Olivia is a flirt, a scientist, and she’s a good administrator. She’s lives life to the fullest and is on her last life regression, without a new lifecycle.
Olivia Sutton is our central character, and the audience identifier. Our story revolves around her: men, mission, actions and unfolding events. She’s the love interest, the object of ambition, lust, risk and rivalry. We figured, (me, myself and I) that Olivia should believe she’s the one in control, yet allows the guys to think otherwise. She's just assuming her natural place in the universe. To her, the world is a place to explore, to wonder about, to find beauty in, while she figures out what life is all about, where she's head and how she got here in the first place. On the other hand, she is sure of her place in the world, the universe –– even during a new world survey. Above all the character of Olivia had to trusts herself, to be in touch with the cosmos; she knows the universe and her place in it. As far as she's concerned nothing happens by happenstance, but rather by limitless connections.

We wanted her to understand that she must maintaining balance, while exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual existence of the human condition even when in an extraterrestrial environment, where she is faced with the aspects of the unknown, incredible danger, panic, love, lust, rivalry and contact with alien life. An environment that spans the past, present and future complicates her existence. Emotionally, Olivia needs strength to overcome her fear of the unknown, for she is an ordinary person in an extraordinary circumstance. In a nutshell, she needs to take control in order to preserve her own self worth. Lives depend on her actions and reactions to her crew-mates.
There’s a conscious emotional longing, she's in love, and wants to love, to be able to return the affection and for Race to become the man she needs him to be. For this reason, she’s willing to risk it all to save him from himself. Above all else, we want her to be aware of the facts. She must complete the mission at any cost, even her own life. If she fails, mankind will have to pay a terrible cost for its blind ambition. Olivia knows deep down inside that she’s alive for a reason, and the fact that she has lived for centuries is in no uncertain terms, a simple trick of the universe wanting her to survive.
She trusts the universe, God, and her companions. Her spiritual upbringing keeps her steadfast through every situation, regardless of the consequences. We wanted her to be a strong woman so she needs to be the one who believes in herself, and knows that she can accomplish anything if she puts her mind to it. She also detests arrogance for arrogance sake, although she finds it helpful in situations where overconfidence just might keep her companions out of danger. In reality, she possesses superior intellect, which is the byproduct of many years of dealing with lifecycles and lifetimes. She's skeptical, but maintains an eagerness to find the reason doubt covers up truth. Nevertheless, Olivia is reasonable, reliable to a fault, never dishonest, lazy, or crazy, other than crazy in love. She’s funny, a workaholic, only compulsive when it comes to the man she’s loved through her many lifetimes. But above all, she’s a doer, she’s quite capable of just about anything, and men find her both daunting and beautiful, if not competitive. There is little room for anxiety in Olivia’s life, nevertheless, fear of the unknown haunts her even stands between her and love and, although she has compassion for every living thing, she has little use for self-denial or overindulgence.

The Relationship of Crimson Indigo

We explore the relationship between symbiont and host, forever love and the lure of contact between former lovers, and the relations of both the young and old alike. Love is timeless, everlasting and found over and over, one encounter after another. Crimson Indigo's previous relationship is destined to rise in both host and symbiont, the question is will it be a conflict, embraced, or the cause for retaliation.
     Remember the last time you entered a room and recognized someone you didn't know as someone you may have known before, or maybe loved before, or even hated before. It happens to people everyday, so why not carryon where you left off. I've done it, and I'm sure you have too. That's why we wanted Crimson and Indigo to have a previous entanglement, or perhaps more than one... Who's to say that the relationship between Crimson and Indigo was a love affair, or a downright adversarial confrontation. A battle between partners where one actually killed the other, only to be regenerated and reborn in the case of Crimson Indigo. Even the relationship of Olivia and Crimson is important to consider ... the realities we all live in, the outcomes we pursue, imagine, and even hope or expect to achieve contribute to our relationship with one another and the universe.
     What if love was governed by Karma, the akashic Record, or simply one's own actions both here and in another universe, dimension or even a past life experience. That's why we capstone the phrase "It was a time when the universe was young, and the light was upon us all ... Remember." It's our doorway into the realities experienced by Crimson and Indigo.
     Consider this... You meet someone, they're oddly familiar to you, as if you've known them all your life. You're carefree and comfortable with them. For all intents and purposes, you are instantly attracted to that person, but you have no idea why. You don't know them, or do you? Yet, there is something about them; be it love at first sight or just because you've both been here before. First contact is far more complicated than a chance encounter, especially if it's preplanned as in the case of Crimson and Indigo.
     Consider it kismet, or destiny, even fate ... life is a tapestry, a blanket of intertwined reunions, connections, even romances that never had the chance to finish, or flourish in a past life experience. In any event, we wanted Crimson and Indigo's involvement to draw to a meaningful conclusion. Everyone finds love, or doesn't. It's the connection we long for as human beings. But what if the spirit was separated, driven apart, by the very humanity we search for. Is it simply the need for reunification, the hope of being reunited with that selfless other half that completes us?
     A middle-aged woman hopes to find a young lover with stamina. Love is complex, and definitely complicated. Men and women are at odds with one another, because we think differently. So it is with Crimson and Indigo, Olivia and Race, or one of Crimson's previous hosts. Attraction is universal ... you either like the person or you don't. Sure personality and persona contribute to the emotional responses, but what if it goes deeper than that. Perhaps all the way to creation ... the force of nature and the need for love or companionship. No one wants to be alone on purpose, and we tend to seek out like minded responses.
   In creating the essence of Crimson and Indigo we wanted to explore the prospects of how life is experienced, love and hate influence the characters, our inner relationships with them and even those hopes and desires we share as a viewing audience. So what constitutes the needs and knowledge of who they are and where they see themselves in the universe, even if our hero is in their own backyard there is a moment of self worth, pride and that feeling of satisfaction that propels us all.
     Convergence is the story of reunification, falling in love all over again, and the willingness to sacrifice everything for that love. For love is eternal, we need it to be just that: Eternal. It's that part of the soul that continues, carries over from one lifetime to another, through one experience to the next, even through life, death and resurrection.

Of Crimson Indigo: Convergence Feature – Remember One Sheet Design

Of Crimson Indigo is more than a character study, it's a multifaceted look at the breath of humanity, and where the reality of existence may take the human machine, a living machine, whose origins may stem from the depths of the cosmos itself, if not an intelligence capable of manipulating both time and space altering the factions of what exists, ever existed, or just maybe. where the next generation may find itself ...

Next we'll explore the facets of the personality that binds Crimson and Indigo together, even through separation, reincarnation, or reanimation. It's a big universe out there, and we're going to find ourselves stuck between paths that lead to two different pasts, where only one future will be triumphant, the other bendable, if not breakable. Both able to be converged. Remember ... It was a time when the universe was young, and the light was upon us all...

Developing Haulers Incorporated and the Concept of Truckers in Space

The Dragon Wing Transport™

Join us as we climb aboard as we tackle the origins of truckers in space, the long hall, the short run, the inevitable dangers, tricks of the trade and the upcoming first issue of a novella length, episodic adventure book series.
     The early days of the Crimson Indigo saga needed a mode of transportation that enabled our heroes to traverse the cosmos, throughout time, and across the universe. While the idea of truckers in space came from first hand experience and knowledge of being part of a trucker family. My father worked for a major US Carrier based on the eastern part of the United States. He often talked about life on the road, quick stops, the long haul, lonely nights and living away from home. Truckers in space was born of his expertise and foreknowledge of the kind of man it was to be a truck driver. Haulers Incorporated became the homage to those who travel the roads endlessly to bring goods, merchandise, cargo, and a host of other freight shipments and payloads to destinations that span the world.
     The Early Adventures of Vex Redford™ and Rooka Trent™ came to life in a time before the Industries mega-conglomerate ruled the galaxy, before Crimson Indigo coursed the temporal corridors as Nomads on Corporate business. Haulers Incorporated opened a new frontier, giving birth to a small freight company destined to play a major part in the history of the cosmos. Which allowed for the implementation of story elements that would later effect the heroes journey through out the saga...
With the introduction of Vex Redford and his mechanic/navigator, Rooka Trent, the idea of the long haul cross country driver team solidified as counterparts, a couple of traveling companions in search of action and adventure, a few extra bucks, and jobs for hire where they could find them. The only problem with the science of truckers in space was dealing with time dilation, did the transports travel faster than light, use some sort of traditional warp drive like in other science fiction series, or did we need our own mode of transit that could fill the bill and allow for travel among the stars. Wormholes were a possibility, the expectation of generating the power needed to achieve transit through an open wormhole system had also been effectively been mobilized in stargate travel, so connecting points in space time seemed a reasonable alternative to current modes of transportation, and so the Temporal Wave Corridor was born.
   TWC transit gave our characters and their machines the ability to traverse great distance by utilizing the probability of an expanding universe and temporal coordinates to input space time destinations in multiple dimensions as well as the possibility of traversing the boundary between the bubble universe and its host cosmos, our own Milky Way Galaxy.

The prospect of Vex Redford and his mechanic, Rooka Trent actually being able to traverse the border worlds in search of revenue, love, and adventure became plausible. And as the probability of crossing vast spaces with the use of coordinates became a mathematical probability the essence of a daring, heroic thrill-ride filled with uncertainty, explosive danger, and unpredictable peril presented itself. The tractor trailer took the shape of a cargo vessel compartmentalized to maximize the freight capabilities available to our Haulers Incorporated vehicles––the Dragon Wing Hauler became the primary source of transit utilizing the Temporal Wave Corridor as a transit system.

As the possibilities developed in the prospect of a spin off series to the Crimson Indigo Saga, the idea of an episodic adventure seemed to be the perfect role of HAULERS INCORPORATED and as the saga continued to develop, the introduction of Jake Ramious to the cast of characters fit right in, completing the jumping off point for a direct connection to the Of Crimson Indigo book series. Hence book one, Haulers Incorporated and the Eye of Armageddon took its roots in the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, with connections along the stellar highway linking the border worlds to the inner civilizations. Our star travelers became the small crew of the Haulers Incorporated Dragon Wing Transport.
With the prospects and underlying storyline established, all that remained was the backstory to the property. Vex Redford and his crew needed a home base of operation, some place not too conspicuous but secure enough the base could be left on manned for lengthy periods of time, enough time in fact for transit to and from the local star systems.
