Favonian
At sunset, at the magic hour when the light changes from the hard white of an eggshell into the bleeding yellow of a split yolk, the wind turns. The wind which chases the sun across the sky dies, and all that is left is the gentle exhalation from the west as the sun dies yet again. The favonian breeze washes across the Hammerstone and rolls up the bulk of First Hill, washing the fetid stink of the tired city down into the grates and drains of the streets. Men, struggling home with the weight of their briefcases, pause on the street corners and look to the west, relishing the gentle touch of the west wind. Yes, the last effusion of energized solar particle waves turns back the spread of ash, the crippling process of decay wrought by hours of centralized air and torpid mechanical lighting; yes, men stop and look to the west.
In the distance, faint across the glittering waters of Hammerstone Sound, the trees of Chance Island are on fire.
writing
This is a reasonably comprehensive list of my published work, both virtual and physical.
THE MISFIT LIBRARY
I am Nine of Thirteen, one of the members of the Misfit Library, a writing collective which puts out a quarterly journal of our respective work. We are scattered across the globe and determined to change the face of the planet one story at a time. The link above will take you to Misfit Central where you can acquire copies of the journal as well as read exclusive online material.
SYMBOLIC
I wrote a column for OPi8.com's Transmit blogs: journals of the new dark underground. SYMBOLIC tracked the novel I was working on, referencing the process and the research materials which mad up the backbone of the work. In addition, SYMBOLIC busied itself with ruminations and considerations on the nature of language and communication. And a wee bit of mythology. The first 100 entries of SYMBOLIC can be found here on this site as well as at OPi8.com.
