Sorry to have been away so long folks.  To tell the truth, lockdown has taken a bit of a toll on me.  In a crowded house, finding the time to write consistently while also trying to sort out my future home, life and career has been a bit difficult, and my creativity has taken a knock.  I'm fighting my way back now.
          	Have put up a few more chapters of Village Town.  Would really appreciate some feedback on this!
          	Hope you enjoy.

Hello all.  Have had a bit of a period of inactivity and, while I can blame all sorts of reasons, I know what the real one is - I'm writing the ending to Aether, and endings are HARD!
          If I'm going to procrastinate, I can at least do so productively, so I've started putting more work into my Japan based urban fantasy, Mamushi.  Would love to get some feedback on this!

So, as I get to the end of Aether, there's a couple of things I know I'm going to alter when I go back and do the final draft:
          1)  The location of the Academy.  Rather than be on another parallel Earth, it makes far more sense for it to be located in Faerieland, both in terms of my own world building and to make the story a little smoother.  The fae having their own turf invaded and built upon also gives a bit more depth to their animosity with Illuminus.
          2)  Aurel.  I kind of like him being a bit of a punch clock villain.  It makes him relatable and I want to keep that.  It makes sense though for him to be a little bit higher in the Illuminus hierarchy, rather than just in  some throwaway job.  This will help me to streamline things a bit as a role I need to give to another character can instead be given to him.
          3)  The infiltration and control of Illuminus on Earth will be a little more explicit.
          
          Not retconning yet, and will write the story to the end with everything as it is - but these are the changes I will put in place later.

So, as Aether nears completion I am going to start preparing to look for publishers.  Step one of that is to take down early chapters.  The whole story is no longer available BUT for those who have been following, I will keel putting up new chapters until the end.  I'm dying to know what you think of how it concludes.
          
          I'll also be putting up another story quite soon, about youkai and snake possession in rural Japan.
          
          I also have another story planned in the aether verse, related to  though not exactly a sequel to Aether.  The paths of Faerieland lead to many worlds.
