Trails #3
Trails 3: Tales
No Longer Available
Klapit mine, the gift of their ancestors, has been sifted and sorted for generations. Only fragments remain. Those tossed aside by former dig leaders in favor of more useable items.
Zella has slipped to the edge of the community, rather than impose her leadership as dig leader. She prefers the quiet life.
Her daughter, Tanna, longs to be immersed in the middle of the stream of community life, much as the dig leaders of previous generations.
Fear spreads, as the dig leader of Webbel imposes new rules. When did travel beyond Klapit become no longer allowed? Why did he choose to send the other members of the villas away before the digging began?
Zella and Tanna must both fight an evil so great, it only exists in campfire tales. One everyone thought was long forgotten, and would never return to disturb the peace of their villas.
She must slip out of hiding to save herself, and the rest of the community leaders.
Tanna's second gen status is met with controversy and trials she didn't believe existed. The community splits as the damage specter from the tales of their ancestors appears in their midst.
Rating: R.
Profanity: None.
Romance: Light, Alluded to.
Sex: Off the page. Acknowledged. Violent acts acknowledged as well.
Violence: Earthquakes. Male violence against women and society. Very much a slow moving war.

About the author
April D. Brown
23 books46 followersApril D Brown's fascination with history, science, and social science led her on a quest to uncover forgotten societal mythology, which often masquerades as fact. New solutions to old queries will be uncovered in the future, through studies of the past. Her novels and novellas, while adventures, are written in a more clean and classical style, without extreme action, romance, or violence. Characters think before they act. Sometimes, this leads to trouble.
Her nonfiction is often written at the request of others.
Gluten (and allergy) free cookbooks, include tips for tricks for people with multiple common disabilities, including poor memory, low vision, and limited dexterity.
Journey Through Life Lists was written at the request of friends with serious memory loss planning their future, and desperate to remember their past.
VoiceOver with the Brailliant Braille Display was designed for personal use, when there was no written manual for learning to use a screen reader for the first time as a middle-aged adult.
The clear path April D Brown dreamed of as a child had roadblocks no one could foresee. Of those, the loss of memory caused far more concern, than the loss of hearing and vision.
Deafblind and doing fine, most of the time.
After all, vision, and hearing, can be internal, as well as external. With the help of her husband, cats, and dogs, she wanders along the path that unfolds slowly before her stumbling feet. The one path she tried to push away as a teen.
Writing doesn't come as easy now, as then. Though, it seems far more impactful. Full of hidden vision, wonder, and forgotten sounds and odors.
