When the Veil Grows Thin

2026-09-23T11:37:05-04:00Uncategorized|

A Curve Beyond the Breadth of Time As October leans against the open doors of winter, the world seems to exhale. The light fades earlier, sounds soften, and geese cross darkening skies in search of warmer lands. It is a season of reflection—and of mystery. Our ancestors believed that, as autumn deepened, the veil between worlds grew thin. At Samhain—the Celtic festival that helped shape many of our Halloween traditions—the living might glimpse what ordinarily remained hidden. That same idea [...]

Bored goddess Argonwui, aka Aggy, spends her hours gazing down from high Laras Lassladen on the spinning world below. Rebellious and mischievous, the young deity deems Ansu worth a sly visit. A little secret she’d keep to herself, lest her mother, Elanion, the High Goddess and Ansu’s current Guardian find out. And that simply wouldn’t do.  I’ll just pop down and look. A brief foray. Beats staying up here counting the years with nothing of interest to do … And her sisters were such [...]

Queen of Confusion

The Rebel Goddess Comes To Town Imagine you can do anything, go anywhere. Explore new worlds, reach backwards and forwards in time. Shrink and swell, become a bird, a fox, a beetle. Or a beautiful woman ... Wouldn't that be groovy ... One would think so ... but ... Too much freedom and power can be a bad thing. Most of us mere mortals know that. But not Aggy. Our rebel goddess must learn the hard way when striving to [...]

The Rebel Goddess Imagine you’re immortal. Can do anything and everything you want. Pretty cool, hey? Well ... maybe. In Archer’s Moon, we go right back to the beginning. When the virgin planet Ansu was fresh on the table, served up by the Weaver of Worlds as a model realm––a dazzling show planet hosted by High Gods, the Faen, and other such lofty faerie folk. Way back when the grubby newcomers had just arrived. Those pesky humans. In the dreamy [...]

BEYOND, AND BELOW … A SEARCH FOR WHO WE ARE … Imagine your entire world snatched away. Leaving you redundant, cold, and lost. No one can hear you. You’re receding. Caught like a fly on a spider’s web, muffled or choked on a dark trip that tugs you down through midnight water. Everything you took as tangible and normal pulled apart, revealing a gaping hole where the dark things creep out. How to fight back … ? Such is the [...]

Charting A New Course With The Same Dodgy Crew …

Breaking dimensions with good intentions During the last eighteen months we've been lashed to the mast in a Force Niner, the wind howling and rain soaking. An exaggeration ... oh, sure. This geezer's a fantasy writer. Suffice to say, it's been a tad grim. :) But bad storms, like gallstones, pass. We're climbing back out into the sunshine like a blinking, yawning prairie dog who got lost in his own tunnels. It happens - ask my cat. All that dark [...]
