The Lighthouse Keeper
by DJ Burnham


An unprecedented danger has grounded space traffic across the sector. It would take one man to resolve the crisis, but at what cost?

I like how Mr. Burnham always includes illustrations.  Maybe I'll start!

I dig those, too.

Hi Laura and Mark,

Glad you like the artwork, it's a mixture of Decoupage, Photoshop and my own photos.

I like to round off the creative process by realising something of the story in an illustration.

I'd certainly encourage you to have a go.

If you're interested, you can see other examples that have escaped the dark recesses of the Burnham mind at:-

Plus a few album cover designs:-

Thanks for your kind feedback on the artwork.

All the best,

I've read the first few paragraphs to this story - (I will have to read more later and finish it; I see it's long) - but I just wanted to say that so far it is a Great Story (from the beginning paragraphs I have read) - and also the Artwork Attachment I think is SUPERB!!! Great idea.

-Cheers

Loved the Doctor Who Exhibit pics on your site, the ones from the new series.  That was in Brighton, right? Not the Museum of the Moving Image - (I think that's what it is called) - where they have all the "old" WHO monsters retired for peole to see.

Hi Lawrence,

Yeah, that was the Brighton Dr Who exhibition - seemed a little churlish not to go and check it out, as it was only a 20 minute walk away.

Thanks for your positive comments on the story, I write each one with as fresh an approach as possible...keeps me entertained anyway.

Work has kicked off a bit in the past week (with big changes afoot in NHS funding) so I may disappear for a while, but when things settle down I plan to try to read more of everyone else's work on this splendid site.

Meanwhile, hope life's treating you well,

TTFN
