🎄🧑‍🎄 Happy Holidays from Shhhh! Digital Media! 🧑‍🎄🎄

I'd like to take a moment to wish you all happy holidays and a very happy New Year, whatever you may celebrate this time of year and to explain what's coming in the near future for Shhhh! Digital Media.


Despite the recent changes here at Shhhh! Digital Media with regard to the ongoing retcon of the previous storylines that have become part of the lineup of content, most will remain as a valid part of the original timeline, with few actually being affected by the changes to the overall foundation of those stories.


Heylyn Yates will be returning in the Two Butterflies as Helayne Ying for instance, her background origins and story having changed significantly to eventually arrive at the woman that she is today. She'll still be both the lead designer and CEO of West Meet East International, which employs the same and additional characters who will arrive over the course of this year. Alicia Westin and Monique Defleur too will be present and actively involved in new adventures and storylines, and continuing Alicia's journey as a mother, without tripping over or copying the similarly themed Fantastic Four movie, considering that both women appear remarkably similar and yet are very different in terms of personality and outlook.


Much the same, Bradley Alexander Stanton will also be returning in this altered timeline, in stories reflecting the current world dynamics and politics, where his role as part of a larger and more involved intelligence community will see him both at his home in Pickering, in the same cover job of his employment as an Electrical Engineer, while he will also show up in various places throughout the world during a new investigation that will arise as a result of the retcon storyline.


Tricia and Halmand will also show up again from time to time, along with Detective Ed Farnham and Somboon, though the We Who Stand On Guard story lines will focus on a new threat, centered around Stanton's investigation.


The Sanctum Seclorum will be returning as well, though it will be very different from what it had been in the pre-retcon timeline. Most of the same characters will be a part of this changed Sanctum, as much so as will Mila, Shaela and Nelony, whose origin story has changed significantly if you've been keeping up by reading the Era of the Spellbound.


Canada will still be the pseudo center of this Shhhh! Digital Media universe, though many of the storylines will take place throughout the globe, and possibly other locations as well.


As well, a few pet projects that I've been developing will reach their release window later this year, expanding the content here and sending a love letter to the various stories that inspired me as a writer and content creator.


This evening, I missed my scheduled window for the movie Violent Night (a comedy holiday movie on Netflix), but I'll be playing the movie tomorrow (the 25th) or later during the week.


With that said, once again, I wish you all very happy holiday season and much joy in the coming year.
