The Sunbolt Chronicles

There are some stories that write themselves, and other stories you write and write and write. The Sunbolt Chronicles are both for me.
I wrote the first chapter or so of Sunbolt (Book 1) as a short story that ended rather abruptly because I couldn’t figure out what the ending actually was. I wasn’t even sure what the story was about, so I gave it the working title of “Night Story” (since most of it took place at night) and left it at that. It sat quietly on my laptop for a long time, perhaps a couple years. Every now and then I would come back to it, scratch my head, make a few attempts to figure it out, and leave it alone again. Then, while traveling overseas to be with my in-laws during a family illness, the first three installments of the Chronicles came pouring out of me.
