Expanded Glossary and Notes - Compendium to the Sequetus Series Page 11

CHAPTER 9

  NOTES ON ILLUSTRATIONS:

  Writing is a cultural art. So is drawing and painting. The artwork in this series is from www.dreamtime.com. The artists and photographers and models that participated in these works are indeed very talented

  DIAGRAMS:

  The author has created maps and diagrammatic explanations to some of the events in these books. These works are copyright to the author.

  The author also needed these diagrams to refer back and continue writing. So if he needed them, he expects you might also.

  The author has taken the philosophy that he has a story to tell, and it’s the story that is most important, and he has to use pictures, as an aid to tell the story.

  The Glossary is the same. He initially constructed the glossary so that he could keep track of the events, as he built up the world of the Federation. He has now included the glossary, as it evolved further in each book. So in this book, you get the glossary, as it had evolved up until the end of this book. Book 24 has an unabridged version. It’s here. He bought many pictures from www.dreamstime.com. Those artists are very talented. He also used some pictures of galaxies from Wikipedia. The author also used some photographs of his own to also help tell the story.

  The characters of the book seemed like real people to the author once upon a time, and so he wrote it that way. They feel, bleed, drink coffee (or kalo) and they have emotions. They have personality. Given a certain situation the author felt they would act, as they had, because that was who they were. He hopes this comes across. But in saying this, no character in these books is designed around anyone the author knows or has read about.

  Thank you for reading the SEQUETUS SERIES books. We hope you become a fan, so welcome to a good reading experience.

  Yours
