The first is a novella called The Silence, which is a stand alone story set in my Xiinisi Universe, back when Elishevera was alive. It's an origin story on several levels, but mostly explores the break up of a friendship over a difference in beliefs. The second project is in indie game development, a hex tile strategy game called Hivernation. (less)

“After studying Charles Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS for five years in a row (three in high school, two in university), my understanding of the novel is this: Expectations are bad. They cause suffering. Don't have them!”
Kit Daven

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
Rebecca West

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
Alan Moore

“The mind I love must have wild places.”
Katherine Mansfield

“You can use logic to justify just about anything, that's its power and its flaw.”
Captain Katherine Janeway

“After studying Charles Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS for five years in a row (three in high school, two in university), my understanding of the novel is this: Expectations are bad. They cause suffering. Don't have them!”
