Shimmer is the sequel to Albatross, and should be out through WordFirePress sometime in winter. It follows the same characters into their future, again riding the edge between Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the end, however, it is more of a fairy-tale sort of book, because such stories ought to give hope to the readers, and right now, we all need a good dose of hope!
I am living in hope, as though wrapping myself in it and striding into the world, where people might in the very right circumstance catch a glimpse, might help. I will take “might” over “won’t”. It tastes like defiance, to lift my head to the sky and laugh in spite of it all; to curl words into shapes and send them spinning out into the world.
Wow, Nancy – that was great. Walt Whitman reborn!!
