Although, I have sketched out a third book in the Xenolith series, it's on the back burner. I don't get the impression there's much appetite for a third, although I have fun with it in my daydreams. My current work in progress is a thriller, no fantasy elements whatsoever, just a warped plot with an unlikely hero ("Vultures in the Playground") |

I tired really hard to resist this, but I gave in just now. Looks very interesting, thank you.

electric and acoustic, but i don't have room for an upright - hopefully some day... i figured you to be a bass player after reading a ways into your novel.
i'm over a third of the way into the book, and even though nothing has really happened that would lead me to the conclusion, it feels like a horror novel more than fantasy. is it? |
