Hello all!

  First of all, I want to thank you all again for reading Strange Geometry. I'm absolutely in love with Ariel and Holly and it means the world to me that so many of you took the time to read this. That you followed the first week of their relationship. The kiss at the top of the Great Wheel. The fire that almost cost them everything. Both Ariel and Holly's recovery. Ariel's new lease on life and the flood of self-confidence that followed. Her promotion. The proposal. The Wedding.

  Ariel's death...and Holly's grief...

  I was so emotional in the days leading up to releasing "Unraveled" and the subsequent chapter. Personally, I hate myself for also coming up with Lin and focusing on her idolization of Ariel and Holly. Aside from Holly, that's what destroyed me the most to write after Ariel's death.

  However, all of that builds to my next topic of discussion.

  Now, if you haven't read the epilogue, I suggest you do because that's going to lead directly into my next story.

  So, with that said, let me talk just a little about Quiet Magic.

  As you can probably tell, after Ariel's death, a few odd things started happening around Holly. The voice memo she couldn't understand, Lin's reaction to the Urn, and, of course, the epilogue itself. I also urge people to take a look at some of the chapter titles near the end. Actually, I urge people to look at all of the chapter titles in the story. Not all of them are relevant, but there's quite a few throughout that are.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  I don't want to say too much more at this time. Mostly because I'm still working out the finer details, but also because I'm excited to just let the story unfold for you. I've got a lot of fun ideas swimming around for this.

  I will say this though: After speaking to someone I trust to keep me grounded and thinking about it for longer than I probably should, I've decided to continue this story under Strange Geometry. I'm not looking for Rising Stars. I have no aspirations to become a successful author. I'm writing this because it's fun. The right people will find this story, just like all of you. I will be making an announcement in the Forums before I start posting the story (which will be January, at the very least), so be on the lookout for that in the future.

  And, because I love being a big tease, I'm leaving you with 2 things. A quote from Quiet Magic and a picture.

  “These dreams I’m having. I don’t know what to make of them. It’s always the same place, but something is always different. Sometimes I can talk…but this last one… I feel like I lost control. But now I’m starting to see…ugh…I don’t know what I’m seeing. I think I’m…I’m starting to forget. And that’s something I’m not sure I can live with.”
