I am a novelist, working hard to weave together an intricate story about an ancestral line. 've launched a serialized version of the 1st book on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/394964373-the-book-of-xun #sciencefiction #adventure #mystery #survival
A scene from Chapter 16 in The Book of Xun–a science fiction/mystery/adventure/survival story of a woman separated from her tribe by a devastating earthquake, determined to find her way back to her origins.

ProWritingAid critique. I am 2/3 of the way through Chapter 15 and this one is in the thick of it! Whew. Very hard writing. How to write backstory without provoking the dreaded 'E' word: 'exposition'. So far so good.

I am producing a serialized book: The Book of Xun on Wattpad: www.wattpad.com/story/394964... It is very true that this is a book that simmered in the back of my mind since childhood. It started to take shape into a real book in 2013. The history: substack.com/home/post/p-...
