Change is in the air!

The ebook launches at midnight CST, so stay tuned!

The novel I'm releasing tonight started out as my senior thesis for the Plan II program at UT. I'm still shocked that in the chaos of my final year at college I cranked out 25,000 words. Advisors told us to avoid novels unless we had the creative writing experience, and I had happened to accumulate quite a few hours of poetry, essay writing, and short story writing.

But that has nothing to do with the inspiration, which came from my stepdad. There was a great deal of lore surrounding crows, and they stood out in my mid-childhood for causing my step-father the most frustration of any game. He would sneak around the house and down dusty roads, bidding us all to be quiet and essentially pretend that we weren't there. If we had to be there, we must pretend that he wasn't there. Or that he didn't have his gun.

I crafted the characters from there, sometimes with purpose, but sometimes I would find later that I had subconsciously directed events to a certain point. I tried to keep the best parts and filled in the plot holes I could find. It's a fun story, I think.
