Booknotes

I've just realized that the entire cycle of novels I'm currently writing are in large part a response to my use of deux ex machina through the character Rain in my first novel of the same name. It always bothered me- I wanted to know where this weird character with her big backpack and her curious ability to ward off mutual destruction with a few choice words came from. It wasn't that she was odd and powerful- it was that I didn't know how she became that way. Music of Dreams and Exodus Enisode will answer my question and take away my guilt.
