The Technology of Premier Esprit: Power, Innovation, and Divide In Premier Esprit, technology hums like a heartbeat—steady, essential, and too often ignored by those who live closest to its pulse. In Éthéré Coeur, doors open at a touch, voietrams glide soundlessly...

Soulever. Automatram. Étincelle. Vigile. Solenoid. Vide.

In the Paramount, technology is given. In the villages, a flickering lamp is a miracle.

And in the vaults of the Pylône de la Science . . . forgotten masterpieces made from gears and emotion.

Éthéré Coeur: The Paramount City Above the Ruins of a Fallen Heart Éthéré Coeur, capital of Premier Esprit and seat of power for all lands under the Suzerain’s sovereign reign, is a breathtaking fusion of architectural brilliance and technological mastery. Known as t...

Éthéré Coeur is the heart of the world—elevated, radiant, and deeply unequal.

Three rings:

The mossy Trough.

The red-brick Market.

The marble Crest.

And the Suzerain’s golden lighthouse in the center.

Calme: Privilege in Pastel There is a town not far from the shining heart of Éthéré Coeur, nestled in the hilly and forest rich expanse of the Bonheur region, where the flowers bloom neatly and the air carries a scent of lavend...

Calme is one of the Paramount’s most privileged towns.

Three Solenoids hum beneath pastel streets. A white wall guards the borders.

But peace here is artificial.
And now, something unseen watches from the hills.

Résonateurs: Those Who Wield Emotion There are few titles spoken with more awe—or more fear—than Résonateur.They are not soldiers. Not mages. Not saints. They are the rare few who can harness their very emotions as weapons.A trained Réso...

Résonateurs are not mages.
They wield sorrow, longing, fury—as weapons.

Trained in Éthéré Coeur, marked by white veins, they leave devastation in silence.

But when fear takes hold, they become hunted—
amber-veined and untouchable.

Panique and the Vallée de la Solitude: Beauty, Decay, and the Dampened Nestled deep within the silvery embrace of the Vallée de la Solitude, the town of Panique once thrived in a place so breathtaking, it seemed immune to despair. The wide river Le Solitaire cuts a calm ...

In the cradle of the Vallée de la Solitude lies Panique—a town abandoned when its Solenoid died.

Ten years later, the dampened walk its quiet paths, gray-veined and stripped of feeling.

Beauty remains. So does the silence.

I actually managed to finish my sequel book before the first one comes out. Unexpected, but I'm proud of myself. And I'm proud of all of you writers putting in those hours to bring your worlds to life.

Not nearly enough. Part of it is I started a new job in addition to finding time for my writing. I'm trying to be more active, and I think if I establish a certain time that I dedicate to social media/interaction, it may help. Work in progress.

It's happening. After 10 years, my book Ghost of Nostalgia is finally coming out!
