Around 2001, the author had drafted his first novel "A man with the golden arm-plate", which became a first precursor of The Golden Scallop in the series of Globiuz. In 2010 R.L. Douglas has drafted another work titled 'World of Ferania'. Later on it became a game project for Grand Coders (2016) that was turned down and had eventually transformed into a novel. In 2017 the author had started his own solo career as RLD, or simply - R.L. Douglas.

Not without any influence of classic works and popular fantasy genres, R.L. Douglas introduces vivid characters and base situations of life.
