Mavra stood with the children. “Why did you stay?” Yasmin asked. “It’s time,” Mavra said. “It’s time to come home again. My other home’s gone, and the Dome’s where I was born.” “Are you going to tell us about the … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors, Sunday 24 August 2014 (WIP: Ship’s Heart)
“Crow’s wing, they call my sort of hair, on Karis,” the Ship’s Doctor explained, “and yours, little sisters and brother, they call storm-cloud or lamb’s-wool.” All those names were poetical borrowings from the vocabulary of the Original World, archaic and … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 10 August 2014 (Published Works sampler)
Terence has a new inamorata. I’ve told him time after time that this never works out. (In the Laboratory of the Night) *** Erika knew when her mother had come in from patrol. From ancient habit, she woke at each … Continue reading
Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 3 August 2014 (WIP: Leonie Hallward)

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 27 July 2014 (WIP: Leonie Hallward)
The fact of human faces — well, that’s another thing. I cherish that portrait of me that uncle Basil painted, because it is honest. It is a more honest mirror than my own silvered glass, for it observes what I … Continue reading
Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 20 July 2014 (WIP: Leonie Hallward)
My mother and Basil argued over color, in a way that was immediately familiar when I was a student at the Academie Julian, drinking strong tea in the cafes with my friends. Those quarrels were the grown-up correspondent of my … Continue reading
Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 13 July 2014 (WIP: Leonie Hallward)
