Today I turn 42.
In the Sac, I’d already be dead.
The Selection takes everyone at forty—no exceptions.
Luckily, I’m still here. Spending my birthday with my little boy and writing dark stories about people in deep trouble who refuse to give up.
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve started working on a new Motherverse novella: Two Gatherers.
In the Sac, Gatherers do the work nobody else wants—crawling through organic tunnels, extracting food from the Greater Membrane, risking their lives for scraps.
They’re not heroes. They’re not chosen ones.
They’re just trying to survive until the Selection comes.
This story is about what happens when surviving isn’t enough anymore.
