No matter who you become, no matter who you pretend to be, and no matter who you believe yourself to be, you can never be free of your destiny.

I got an email from a reader yesterday, asking me some questions about the book so far. I told her that obviously I can’t give spoilers or answer direct questions about where the story is going, and that I’m reluctant to even participate in conversations about what’s happened so far. I want readers to come up with their own interpretations of the characters and their motives, and it’s unfair for me to give my own spin on things as the story unfolds.
Having said that, however, I want to invite everyone to leave comments on any of the posts here if they want to discuss the story with other readers, ask questions, offer their theories on what’s taking place, and so forth. While I don’t have the time or resources to set up a proper discussion forum right now, I’d still love to get feedback from all of you as the story rolls on, and hopefully drum up some conversations between all of you as well.
So consider this the first general “open thread”. If you want to comment on a specific chapter, go ahead and do so on the blog post that announced that chapter.
Thanks again for reading. I’m having a lot of fun with this story, and I hope you are too.
Perhaps you think you’ve never seen one of the strange men before. But you have. You just didn’t see him long enough to notice that he was… different.

Thank you all so much for the incredible reaction to this project so far. Chapter one has been downloaded over 3,500 times, which just amazes me. I appreciate all of your support and feedback on what was mostly an introductory piece.
Chapter two will be released on Friday, 10/10. Things will begin to get a bit… strange.

I’d like to give extra special thanks to Karl Gunnarsson for the cover photo and Steve Wehner for the design. I commissioned Karl to take that photograph, and he nailed it. He’s an extraordinarily talented photographer, and I encourage you to visit his photoblog and look at his other work. I’ve worked with Steve in the past, and he’s an amazing art director. I hope I can convince him to stay on for my next book as well.
Please read and enjoy.
