In last week’s blog post, I announced plans to take my two short stories from this site, clean them up, and release them on Amazon. As newsletter subscribers already know, those plans became reality last night!

See These Bones and its sequels are understandably focused on Damian and his struggles, but it’s a big, broken world out there. These tales offer brief glimpses of events and places far beyond Damian’s reach, often touching on locations or secondary characters from the main series. They also give me an opportunity to play around with different perspectives and writing styles.

People seemed to dig the earlier drafts, and I’m thrilled to bring them to the wider audience of Amazon!

Dear 2019,

At the risk of repeating myself… you’ve been a year.

The older I get, the more individual years tend to blur together. As a child, every year felt different and new. As an adult, it often feels like one single strand of time, occasionally dotted with holidays and vacations.

The year is almost over, and 2020 is lurking somewhere in the clouds above us, waiting for the moment we should cast our eyes skyward to come crashing down upon us in all of its fury. But we’ll worry about 2020 some other time. Like… a week or so from now. As I did last…

We’d traveled through another few miles of dust and dirt, the temperature rising steadily with the sun, before I finally replied.

“I don’t know what you’ve heard about me, but all I do is see ghosts. Just one ghost, really. If you’re looking for armies, I’m not your Crow.”

“Not yet. With time and instruction… we will see.”

I flinched as the car dodged a house-sized tumbleweed. “Are you saying the government has some sort of secret training facility for people like me?”
