As you can imagine, I wrote far more than ended up in the book. The last few years of writing were mostly taken up with cutting things out.

The novel I am working on now isn't a sequel, though it does have some distant interrelation. I've had a few ideas for another book about Leah's family, but that is probably a bit in the future.

Thank you for your question. I appreciate it.(less)

Quotes by David Connerley Nahm  (?)

“All children want to go to space. Earth only offers parents wailing about overdraft notices and evening news playing in an empty den. Dead pets too. Childhood is a rot. And so they look up and see stars shiver, ancient information only just now arriving, because that is the only place left to look, and they yearn.”
David Connerley Nahm, Ancient Oceans of Central Kentucky

“The young couple in their first home marveled at the two raccoons in the moonlight of the backyard. The young couple could not conceive that there would ever be a time when they would not be in their house watching raccoons through the kitchen window. There had been one raccoon on the deck, eating the cat's food, and when it registered some motion from inside the house, the young man putting his arm around his young wife, it ran down into the yard, pausing for a moment to make a sound and the second raccoon ran out of the darkness and together they trundled off. To the young couple, this moment felt as though it would exist forever, this life they had, and even when he sat by her bedside in the hospital, slipping in and out of herself, looking much changed without her teeth, he felt as though all he had to do was rise from the chair and look out of the window, steadying himself on the sill so he wouldn't slip again, to see those two dark creatures who had long since returned to the generalized life of the Earth.”
