Fellow writer Heather Wildman recently asked if I’d like to donate some books to this cause, and since I personally think it’s a very worthy one, and being a survivor myself, I’m spreading the word. The auction isn’t until July, but please browse the sites and bookmark. Here’s some info taken from the Shut the [...]

Prologue
Ella’s Final Journal Entry
A fae never dies, nor is one truly born. Each is a seed of Dala. Our planet is alive, and its sentience rests in its core.
Our histories tell us the Wood People were the first beings to inhabit these lands, in the Dalthwein Region, near the entrance to Dala’s heart core. Its spirit threaded up through the ground, like the roots of our trees, creating Dala’s guardians. The planet manifested slivers of itself into physicality. Bits of root and bark blended with tough, furred pelts, bones, eyes, and teeth. Dala molded legs from mud and moss, skullcaps from mushrooms, and fingers from the strongest twigs.
Some say the planet was lonely, others believe it wanted to experience itself, existence, from a new perspective. The truth goes back so many millennia, none of us truly know, anymore. If the fae remember these ancient secrets, they aren’t telling, and I don’t blame them.
Others came from the dirt. It is said we all come from the dirt—wolf, human, crow—and back to the dirt, our bodies will go. Dala recycles the spirit as she sees fit. Summerland is a way station for the souls. This is what our people are told.
Fae are sacred, elusive creatures. Most Dalthwein pay great respect to the Wood People, for their benevolent guidance, the teachings, gifts, and knowledge they’ve bestowed on us since we came to the Dalthwein Region. But, my ancestors have spat on their kindness since Corrigan McCleod first led them here.
He took their tribal names away from them, and he led my people away from their coastal homes, after King Collidor perished in the great floods. Where Collidor was a loyal and just leader, Corrigan was an oppressive tyrant. He infected my ancestors, my family, with a hatred, a curse, that refused to die. But, with me it ends.
Ella McCleod – 96th day of the Autumn Quarter

Overall, the stories in Detritus are very compelling when taken as a whole; each offers a slightly twisted view of the world. Some stories, such as "The Highest and the Sweetest," deal with more contemporary issues such as the obsession with placi...

“Nothing ever begins.
There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any story springs.
The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and the tales that preceded that; though as the narrator's voice recedes the connections will seem to grow more tenuous, for each age will want the tale told as if it were of its own making.”
― Clive Barker, Weaveworld
