Hydra Games Author Tricia Ballad’s Favorite Things
Yuuumm have to like a lady who loves coffee! Here’s Tricia Ballad on her favorite things! The amazing, rich roasty smell when you open a jar of home-roasted coffee.

Eden’s Favorite Things
Our Hydra Team Author Eden’s Favorite things: The Fall: This brilliant movie has just about everything you need to know about writing: great character creation, fantastic play on tropes and a good twist.
