Not much to update. I am going through post-book depression/writers’ block, though I did post a new short story [project? exploration of music?] on the Other Projects page. It’s called A Love Story, and if you’re a music lover, it’s especially directed towards you. Please check it out and leave comments here or through email- I always respond.

A thought from Nyla’s book:

“Power? I don’t have any real power. I’m just a girl who happens to have been born into a role that should hold power. After all, I’m nearly a foot shorter than any of my opponents, giving me a severe disadvantage in almost any fight, and I don’t have much support throughout Elenot until I kill someone or do something unbelievably amazing. It’s terribly disheartening. My real power should lie in the three objects of the Silvercatcher, but,” Nyla said, hesitating to hold up the Catcher’s mirror, “I don’t even have those any more either. Just hand-me-downs from another family.”
