Because something ancient in you remembers the way…

…like a soft chord struck before thought rouses

The quiet loop—
a flame recognizing its own warmth within.

✨ Kingdom of Shadow & Light Update ✨

I wish it wasn’t so, but I’m pausing Kingdom of Shadow & Light Substack posts for just a bit while I finish getting Star of Shalik ready for ARC readers. It won’t be long—just a week or two—I've hit a crunch and can’t manage both at the same time.

"It is a character's silences, uncertainties and sorrows that bring me close to him, not his victories or acts of courage... I pay most attention to the shadowy patches and moments of fragility in my books, as miniaturists do in their paintings..."

This leaf was so bright I thought it was trash. I had a sad moment when I saw it was torn, but then I realized it's missing the same finger as me. I think I will also be bright today.

(And if people think I'm trash, oh well. 😅)
