Indie comic creators often create new projects that are far and away from previous endeavors. Some creators believe that having many different projects can lead to more opportunities. On this edition of The PVDcast, I am joined by Frank James Bailey. He is the creator of the family-friendly superhero comic, Tercona. Frank is trying something new with his latest project. A horror novel called Azreal: The Story of Steve James is Frank's newest offering. Get details on why Frank decided to pen a horror novel. You'll also hear about Frank's creative process for Azreal, along with inspiration that helped him write this tale. We will also talk about his other projects, including Tercona.
