One of the important characters in my upcoming novel Pancho's Fall is a man by the name of Gelmiro Mendibar, from a town called Colena in the Northern kingdoms of Caelon. While Gelmiro will play a smaller role in the novel, I have chosen Gelmiro to be the first main character to be introduced in the World of El Tor, in his own story which will showcase how he came to be the surrogate father of the titular character in my novel.

#TBT – Zephaniah Sings the Classics

This is one of my favorite fun edits of all time. I was asked to film some footage of the band Zephaniah by my good friend Justin Zych. As a stipulation, I asked if along with handing the footage over, I could use it for a fun editing project. He agreed, and then I quickly turned this video around in no time at all. Don't ask me why I picked Roy Orbison - maybe I just had this song stuck in my head? At any rate, this is my pick for this week's throwback.
