About the author
Morgan Bauman
19 books24 followersMorgan Bauman's novels and short stories typically celebrate interpersonal relationships--family dynamics, friendships, and romance alike. This doesn't mean that every story has a relationship at its core, however. Some stories, like those found in Pendular Motion, have characters who find themselves isolated.
Bauman's work has been called introspective, innovative, and genre-defying. Although most of their stories include a fantastic bent, Bauman ventures to portray the unreal in a realistic manner.
In the interest of depicting stories that are true to their lived experiences, Bauman's works typically include characters of all sexual orientations and gender identities as well as characters with varied mental and physical disabilities. Furthermore, in keeping with their commitment to realistic diversity, Bauman includes characters of many races and ethnicities in their works and makes a sincere effort to include anti-racist themes.

Cumulative review for the series.
When Ray slips under the water of her family's pool, she emerges in a lake in a distant land--where everyone has fantastic powers, and she's trapped in another woman's body. Rewritten is more intent than execution. In theory, it's fantastic: the worldbuilding and characterization are robust and unforgiving, both in scale and consequence; there's great diversity and intensity in the interpersonal relationships, and the dynamic between protagonists Ray and Laenyn is particularly creative. But that potential goes unrealized. The mystery is forced and relies on poor communication; the emotions feel repetitive and unconvincing. I believe this series would be more successful if it were compressed into a single book; a little mandatory brevity would give it some punch. As is: an admirable effort, but it never clicked for me.

Rewritten II: Veracity is an excellent follow-up to Fallacy. There are questions that are answered, and more questions are brought up... I would recommend this for people who enjoy fantasy with mystery mixed in. http://www.germmagazine.com/review-re...
