Sister Dragon

I'm proud, honoured, and a little bit freaked out to share my new novella, Sister Dragon, with whoever wants to read it. Perhaps that will be you!

Sister Dragon took me four years to complete. I started writing it during the pandemic, left it, came back to it, left it, got something to eat, moved cities, started playing Tears of the Kingdom, had a blast, got angry, got depressed, got creative, Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Charlene Challenger (?)

“Brenna woke up one morning and her little boy was gone.

She called his name, but he didn't call back.

She ran through the house, looking for him. He wasn't there.

She tripped and fell. there it was, spread out beneath her, before her: a geographic scar of fields and lakes, of impenetrable places. An aching land, as far as she could see.”

“She dipped her fingertips into the water. Then she retreated, sucking air through her teeth, to the middle of the beach. Plumes of steam came off the ocean's surface and curled into the sky.

It may have always been boiling. She hadn't noticed.”

“Then the fight came to her chest, to her throat. She thrust her heel against the ground and stood with violence. 'Give him back! I know you're listening! Give him back to me now!' Storming out of the clearing, across the field, two fists ready, the sharpest teeth for biting. Sending all the rabbits out of sight.”
