Journal entry by Alem - [late summer] 150 Atal Although I have known several meridians, I have never known anyone like Verve. Sorry - this isn’t supposed to be a love letter, just some notes for later perusal, but it seems she’s always on my mind. Anyway. Meridians. Right. Since Verve is one, she agreed … Continue reading Assassin’s Mercy – bonus tidbit
Hide Your Heart The cavern’s shadows clung to Verve, binding her in darkness and squeezing her heart like a vise. By the One god, nighttime was bad enough, but prowling along the shores of one of Aredia’s underground rivers was like being buried alive. Her breath also struggled in the shadows’ grip but she ground … Continue reading Assassin’s Mercy – chapter 1 sneak peek!

Hi there! One of the best parts of storytelling is crafting worlds to suit your narrative. This doesn't just apply to speculative fiction; every story is, in a way, its own world. It's a place your reader can settle into like a favorite chair - or an iron throne, depending on what sort of world … Continue reading on Heartfire
Hi there! There's a bunch of negative thoughts in my life right now. Try as I might to overcome them and keep my focus on the positive - and on what I can take control over - the bad shit lingers. So this is a note to myself, (and to you, if you need it), … Continue reading on gratitude (again)

Atanar was originally in … Continue reading New content sneak peek!

Here are the Spotify … Continue reading The music of Catalyst Moon
