Cascade Virtual Tales Season 7

A few years ago the creative team of Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo gave us the Sentinel. We stayed with it as the show developed, watching for each subtle nuance and hint to the characters. Each week gave us a new twist to the friendship of Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg, sparking some great debates and even more exciting fanfiction as the characters became increasingly complex and real. We came to look forward to that. We weren't ready to give it up. Jim and Blair, and the rest of Major Crimes, still have stories to tell. And so Cascade Virtual Tales was born. Seasons 5 & 6 seemed to be well received, so we decided we'd give season 7 a try as a mid-season replacement. Once again, we have a very talented bunch of writers that have agreed to join us in our endeavor to bring Jim, Blair, and the rest of the gang back into your home.

If you would like to check out SEASON 5 click here.

If you would like to check out SEASON 6 click here.

The writers acknowledge that The Sentinel and its characters will always remain the property of Bilson and DeMeo. These stories are, in a sense, a tribute to that team. The express purpose of the fiction found here is to entertain and to keep the Sentinel and his Shaman together just a little while longer. No one is profiting from the writing of this fiction. At least not in a monetary sense.

Our promise is to bring you a new episode of Cascade Virtual Tales each week. We all know that "technical difficulties" are a part of life on the Web. If for some reason we have to change an episode date we will announce the new day and time.

So, enough chatter. Welcome to The Sentinel's Virtual Seventh Season.
