My interest in ebooks is a tiny percentage of my interest in books. I didn’t dream of being a writer so I could spend my time discussing file formats and what Author X (even if X= me) did to sell a whole bunch of copies. Maybe it’s stupid and romantic, but I got into this because I loved books.
I had no idea what that book was actually about, or any notion of characters beyond September and the Green Wind. But the book as it exists in the world of Palimpsest presented certain rules, and I always find it wonderful to write confined to a set of rules.

AFTER THE FALL
I was created by beings who couldn’t touch this world, only watch it crumble.
I was told, “Do not interfere.”
I wasn’t meant to change history, only guide it.
But I broke Directive Three.
Can humans survive a second collapse?
