I feel after those are finished, that series can rest for a bit and I'll have the focus to write the other 2 books in The Middle Light Trilogy.(less)

I'M NOW ON KO-FI

I'm decommissioning my Patreon and launched a Ko-fi account. As I roll out content in the future, especially related to my Warchild Mosaic, hopefully this method makes it easier for readers internationally to contact and contribute, and for me to deliver my writing directly to you. For readers who would like to directly support my ability to write and thrive, I appreciate you. More to come!

“Privacy,is what you shut your mouth about,Denial is what you shut your eyes against.”
karin lowachee

“It's a bitch on this ship, isn't it?' That got an unexpected smile out of the symp. Musey had two dimples on his cheeks that made him look about half his chronological age.”
Karin Lowachee, Burndive

“Society has made it so I have to get paid in order to do basic things like eat and be indoors and not be naked. Once that's happened, morality's bound to get slippery.”

“This is the problem of all great revelations: their significance so often exceeds the frame of our comprehension. We understand only after, always after. Not simply when it is too late, but precisely because it is too late.”
R. Scott Bakker, The Darkness That Comes Before

“Doubt begets understanding, and understanding begets compassion. Verily, it is conviction that kills.”
R. Scott Bakker, The Thousandfold Thought

“Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.”
R. Scott Bakker, The Darkness That Comes Before

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
