I've got about 3 magus opus type novel-series in preparation, all of them bubbling over in the back of my mind for years now. Maybe this year is the time to really dive in. As for the heart of light- I'm glad you think so. As much as bleak stories with miserable endings may be 'like life' and 'realistic', I feel a story-teller hasn't done their due diligence on a tale until they find a way to bring it round to something good. That would be a difference, for me at least, between stories and documentaries. David- Thanks, I’m thinking on new stories now all the time.

Thanks for another good tale. You should keep up with the writing. You call these stories dark fiction, but there is a heart of light in them. Thanks for another good tale.
