Character Spotlight: Lanokas the Lighthearted
As the June 15 launch of The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope approaches, I thought I’d spotlight a character each week.

Starting anew
Life sure has thrown us all some curves over the last couple of years. I was no exception. In a lot of ways it feels like I’m starting everything over completely. You see, my plans all fell apart just before Covid in 2020. I was born and raised Catholic, and in 2019 I entered religious…
