The STORY Pile



my backyard last spring....

In the years  it took to finish A Resurrection of Magic, (and I am not quite done yet, the editor is reading it) I wrote only a few other things, mostly for younger readers--the polar opposite kind of story.

But I kept a running record of story sparks, writing down the bones of the vaporous ideas that just appear when I am watching people or that come in the night ::: the sharpened and the weird...

I have over 600 files now.


SO.....look out!

Yes. I know. I do know....but they are all short staffed now and I am the one who took eons to write it...AND....I am using the time to write Russet.
