Rhi is an avid reader and writer of all things speculative fiction. If it's got an otherworldly aspect, they've probably heard of it, read it, reviewed it, and fell in love with one of the characters.

"I love the stuff with a dark edge. Not those cheesy BDSM scenes," Rhi clarifies, "but psycho-thrillers that f*ck with your head. It's like that video of Pyro with a bubble gun. Or Charlie visiting Candy Mountain. Hannibal frying up some guy's frontal lobe and serving it to him. Or, ya know, Deadpool. Yeah, he's my hero."

It's not so much a sequel as a companion, since it won't be told from Black's point of view. It's more Red's story, although Black, Garthelle, and Blue are all present on the roster for appearances.
Currently, my plans are to get it written, or at least largely fleshed out, between now and the end of November, for Nanowrimo. I still have a good bit of prep work to get done before then, though. Mostly an event timeline and character details, for consistency's sake. It's been quite a while since I touched Black's world.(less)

I'm waiting for the rights to revert to me first before I begin working on it. In addition, I've a couple other writing projects that I need to complete, before I can tackle this one and invest all my energy into it.
Currently, plans are for it to include: some expansion on the Feathers; Hamm and Marc's adopted child; and the child of Dehna and her partner, who was killed by the humans before the events of Fragile Bond.

If you'd like to stay up to date with any developments, you can follow my writer Tumblr, rhizinspirations.tumblr.com, or sign up for my newsletter.

Thanks for the interest! (less)

Every writer struggles. Many times, usually, in the process of a single book. A critique group that only reads what you've already got written isn't going to necessarily be useful in helping with plot structure, character dynamics and consistency, or a million other details that aren't restricted to a single story.

Quotes by Rhi Etzweiler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Me and my insatiable curiosity. If there's any justice in the world, I was a very good cat in a past life.”
Rhi Etzweiler, Blacker than Black

“What is it about humans that make us so prone to prejudice?”
Blue arches one of his unnaturally colored eyebrows and looks up to meet my gaze. “If we didn’t form prejudices, we wouldn’t be learning from our environment, you dolt. It’s an animal instinct. If a porcupine’s quill gets stuck in your hand once, you won’t be likely to go grabbing it again soon, right?”
Rhi Etzweiler, Blacker than Black

“Yeah, he’d yield. He was a bad cut of steak left on the open grill too long, though—the general’s teeth wouldn’t be enough to do the job.”
Rhi Etzweiler, Dark Edge of Honor

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“We’re sick of hearing people say, “That band is so gay,” or “Those guys are fags.” Gay is not a synonym for shitty. If you wanna say something’s shitty, say it’s shitty. Stop being such homophobic assholes.”
Pete Wentz

“Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life.”
Chuck Palahniuk

“He’d do anything, absolutely everything for this man, suck him, kill, kill himself, run away, be something else, anything else, everything just blurred, darkness, a place inside that only held him and Dan. Nobody else, nothing else, no time, no place, no affiliations, no past, no future.”
Aleksandr Voinov, Special Forces - Soldiers

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
May Sarton

Rhi Etzweiler @Aiko: No moody and gloomy! Not allowed! Go read Cinnamon & Nutmeg again or something. :)

@Oleg: Doing good. Trying to focus on Frailty, but only managing to distract myself with #soldierporn on tumblr thus far. Heh. It's research. Totally.

Aiko Please don't take my illusions away Oleg.
It's been storming and raining/hail/sleet for something that feels like forever. And it's SO dark. I'm getting moody and gloomy.


message 6: by Aiko

Aiko Valid point.
And in a few months summer comes crawling, and the sun decides to take revenge and never go down.
It's pretty confusing all over the place to be honest.
Never day...then BAM..never night...
And the world actually finds it amusing that we drink the way we do.
