Something New...
Now that Spinner is out, I have time to work on other things! Cool, post-apocalyptic-ish trilogy things. Afterwards such things be called, and to whet your appetietes, here's the first bit of the draft currently in-revision...

~Then~
Seventeen days ago the world was normal.
I was on the roof of my house, listening to music. It was late – so late it could have been called early – and then white streaks swept across the star-studded darkness. I remember being confused; looking for storm clouds. But the sky was clear.
And then the bombs hit.
They hurtled from the sky, the sound of their fall worse than thunder – a scream. Anyone who had seen at least one war movie would have recognized it.
I will never forget that sound.
A bomb hit the ground several houses away and the impact shook my entire house. The roof buckled, and my scream was lost in the noise. When silence finally came, I crawled out of the piled rubble that had once been my home. I was bruised, shaken, scared – but I was alive. And as the hours dragged on, as I searched and called and begged, I realized I was the only one.
