    Remember that project I mentioned back in December? This is it. An ambitious exercise in...linguistics? I'm not a linguist, but I do have a semester of that and British Lit under my belt! So I made this. What fantasy world is complete without languages? (Or at least language headcanons?) #1 in IPA! (As of 3/9/23) As always, I do not own The Beatles, their songs, their covers, or the solo work of its members nor do I think of them as sinisterly as they are depicted here.

    This book describes the alien civilization referred to by themselves as kin toroon (pronounced kin TAR-oon), or "the people." This not a story, but a description to be used as reference for any subsequent stories that I may publish. This all came about when I got the idea for a sci-fi/diesel punk/ fantasy story (that I have not fleshed out yet) involving a soldier in a world war that involuntarily draws energy from his surroundings to heal himself (absorption of a bomb blast, withering of a tree, etc.). I wanted to incorporate some sort of inscription and decided to create an alphabet. Finding I wanted to have a language made for it, I waited until I could accurately and quickly recognize each character before I got to work on the words. Of course a language needs a people, which is where kin toroon come in....

    What happens when the pursuit of understanding becomes an all-consuming obsession? "Echoes Between Tongues" takes you on a mesmerizing journey into the mind of a linguist captivated by the hidden connections among Vietnamese, Dutch, Chinese, and English. To the protagonist, languages are living entities intertwined with history, culture, and the human experience. Driven by curiosity, they embark on a quest to unravel universal threads woven through disparate tongues. As days blur into nights, passion transforms into a labyrinthine obsession. Walls fill with webs of words and symbols; sleep becomes a memory. The deeper they delve, the more boundaries between languages-and reality itself-begin to blur. Isolation takes hold as relationships fade. Friends' messages go unanswered; concern from loved ones is dismissed. A chance encounter with a compassionate neighbor offering a peace lily cracks the self-imposed walls. This act of kindness becomes a catalyst, prompting reflections on facades maintained and connections neglected. Facing echoes of disconnection, the protagonist realizes true understanding requires vulnerability and human connection, not just intellectual mastery. Will they return from the edge of obsession to rediscover genuine relationships? "Echoes Between Tongues" is a poignant exploration of the delicate balance between passion and self-destruction. It delves into identity complexities, the universal longing for connection, and the impact of embracing one's vulnerabilities. This evocative novel invites readers to reflect on their own journeys through ambition's labyrinths and the healing power of empathy. Immerse yourself in a story that speaks to the heart of seeking understanding-in the world around us and within ourselves.
