“The past is never where you think you left it.” –Katherine Anne Porter
I guess because I have been writing happy stories in my journal and not thinking about anything that is going on in Ashmourne, I have been thinking a lot about the past. The quote is from Ship of Fools, which I loved when I read it as an undergraduate and was looking forward to teaching one day. Continue reading

Once Upon a Time … Part 3, Gwyneth’s Story
For Part One: http://wp.me/p2VCul-kr For Part Two: http://wp.me/p2VCul-lz Gwyneth grew up in the city, the child of an Irish mother and a Welsh father who’d moved to London for work.

Once Upon a Time … Part 2, Aoibheann’s Story
For Part One: http://wp.me/p2VCul-kr Yes… what did become of Tabitha’s twin girls? Older by mere seconds, the sunkissed daughter placed in Alba grew up as Aoibheann.

Once Upon a Time… Part 1
You might wonder what there is to write about that’s happy, since Ashmourne is such a fucking downer. I admit I wondered too, for about thirty seconds. I haven’t written anything but these journal entries for more than a year, but the crazy thing is I used to teach creative writing to university students. And Continue reading

Reset.
It’s all too much. Isabella came back and blasted Nathaniel with life energy: he still has a heartbeat weeks later and is breathing and eating bacon sandwiches like there’s no tomorrow, but he gets tired really fast. Aoibheann disappeared and then came back, and she won’t tell me where she was, and we had a Continue reading

Names and deals and freedom selling
As far behind as I am, the very real fear I felt around a lot of this is going to seem somewhat muffled, I think. That’s because it’s mostly over now, even though there are still some loose ends to be tied up. I was having bad dreams. They were the same dreams Aoibheann was Continue reading

Catchup: a really long couple of days.
I have been remiss. I haven’t been keeping up very well with this journal, and that means I have to go over things really quickly in order to get caught up. Things may be jumbled up, or out of order, but I promise I’ll try to be better. Combination of yet another major dramatic upheaval Continue reading

Palingenesis, Proclamation
I was in the library, and the Prince knew that’s where I’d be. He’d been thinking, he said, about some of the things we’d discussed during our argument. I thought, oh, no; here comes the lecture. But it wasn’t a lecture. He said he had watched me struggling, knew I needed a way to fit Continue reading
