A note from Barbarinder Studios' co-producer, Bobinder
Welcome to the premiere of 'Barbarossanova'!
The initial discussions between Barb and myself about this story can be found towards the end of her story thread, 'Berlin Diary'. The sequel project started with a picture which I posted there in 2016, and consequently our collaboration has always had a strong visual element.
Having established the Barbarinder partnership, we explored methods of presenting the new story in an original way. 'Barbarossanova' is set in the 1940s, and employs the literary device of flashbacks to an earlier time. Therefore most chapters have the narrative divided by a dated location image, into two separate but related timelines, which converge towards the end of the story.
Whilst Barb's unadorned text stands on its own very considerable merits, we decided to attempt a virtual cinematic experience by providing illustrations, slide shows and visual devices evocative of the 1940s 'big movie' theme. The large number of photo manipulations has made this an ambitious undertaking, and it is still pending completion. This means that successive episodes will be posted slowly.
Considering the epic scale of the project, I am happy to say that we have had the support of our dedicated production team - Madiosi (who faces the challenge of producing an e-book eventually) and Windar as consultant editor. I hope you will find the results of our labours as enjoyable as we have in their creation.
For those wanting to refer to 'Berlin Diary', here is the blurb and links:-
Follow Barbara Moore as she journeys to Berlin in 1936 on a mysterious special assignment. Adventure, peril, torture, and "story twists" abound as she stalks a high-ranking Nazi leader, tangles with Brown Shirts and ends up in the clutches of the Gestapo.
With "cameo" episodes (5 and 9) by Windar.
