The Clan Chronicles - The Reunification Cycle

 

Reunification picks up the story of Sira and Morgan immediately after To Trade the Stars. I've begun to write its three volumes and I can tell you what happens is quite simple.

The Clan finds its way home.

But simple is deceptive. Time has past. Choices have been made. Those who left are not the same as those who stayed behind.

And that's only the beginning.

 

I decided to write my romantic fantasy, A Turn of Light, before Reunification for two reasons. I'd been waiting to write Turn for seven years -- any longer and I'd burst! But more importantly, I needed to gather my courage.

Reunification visits dark places. I'm sure those of you used to me and my work won't see what's coming. I hope you trust me and stay the course.

Science fiction lets us play a scenario to its consequence within the safety of our imaginations, to ask a question and work through the possibilities until an answer stands before us. Some answers dare us to ignore them at our peril.

The question I asked was this: What if an inherited characteristic of immense value to individuals and society was linked to a risk to the species?

Reunification is the answer I dared not ignore.
