ABOUT THE SERIES
This setting is a new one for me, though it is another of the sort of mixed fantasy and science fiction that I prefer. I've decided to cut the one large novel into at least two parts, which gives me more time to develop the setting and ideas for the latter half or two thirds of the storyline. The first part is done, and the second section is in development. I know it's shorter than my novels have been lately, but I think splitting it up is the thing to do, for now.
The interesting thing with this one is that I had ideas for this character for several years. The setting came to me separately. After some thinking, I found a way to make the two work together.
