I started a first draft, after Hollowfall was published so it's underway! I have two completed drafts for MG/YA books, and I'll be working on one of those before completing Behindbeyond #4! But I have the story and it will be the most epic novel of the series so far! (less)

“Name a song. Any song at all."
She thought for a moment and said, "'Claire de Lune.'"
I placed my hands on the keyboard. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back and struck a key, sounding a single note. "There you go. Gimme another one. I can play the first note of anything. As long as I get to choose the key it's in.”
Michael Darling, Got Luck

“The Robaccio Restaurant was one of those places that sounded like a nice Italian trattoria--and it was. The funny thing about the place was the name: a blend of two Italian words. The word "robaccia" meant "trash" in Italian and "bacio" was "kiss." Putting the two words together was like naming a British pub the Rubbish Smooch, which someone in London really needs to do.”
Michael Darling, Got Luck

“From Got Luck --
"Tell me why we’re doing this again?” Erin asked.
“Remember what we learned from Return of the Jedi?”
“No. What?”
“We learned you can be the most powerful sorcerer in the galaxy but if someone grabs you and throws you down an energy shaft, you die like everybody else.”
