The People of Upon
Finding Pleasure and Inspiration in Every Turn
All of the people brought to Upon seem to have come from the UK. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but somehow from different times in their history.
Meet The Characters
The characters are just about the most important part of a story. Without them, we really don't care what happens. After all, they are the ones it happens to.
Love them or not, if we care about them or are interested in them, we want to read on. They develop and grow with the story. The more we find out about them, the more we want to know what will happen to them.
