Away

I'm going to Greece for two weeks for a friend's wedding and a bit of a break. The first draft of Intentional Dissonance, my new novel, is at the editor and I'll be finishing up editing the text-version of I Wrote This For You soon.

Here is the prologue to the new novel. You can find a snippet from Chapter 3 on facebook and tumblr.

I'll miss you.

Intentional Dissonance

A Book About Falling. 

The End 

You have read this all before and you will again. Do you think you're in the bookshop now, just browsing? Are you in front of your computer, previewing the first few pages? Or is this a well-thumbed tattered old thing that lives next to your bed? Am I sleeping, lost and forgotten at the back of a bookshelf? No matter. You have read this all before and you will again. Have you ever stopped and wondered if, really, you're just living the same few seconds over and over again and you just don't know? You’d never know. Maybe you’ve been doing the same thing for 1000 years. Sometimes that happens. Like when you're reading and you get a thought stuck in your head and you find your eyes just glazing over the words and you have to go back and read the same thing again. No matter. You have read this all before and you will again.

 You have read this before.

The Reason They Don't Listen

There's no beauty in your truth because there's no truth in your beauty.

The Limited Opportunity

There are only so many of us born at a time and we are thrown into the world to find each other, to find the other ones who don't think you're strange, who understand your jokes, your smile, the way you talk.

There are only so many of us born at a time and we only have so long to find each other before we die.

But we have to try.

The Last Land I Stood On

And my fingers are ships sailing on your skin, slowly drifting and hoping against hope that they fall off the edge of the earth.

And your heart is nothing but the gravity pulling me towards you.
