as of August 18th, 2007 --

for anyone who has checked this page, and the few people who bothered reading my stories, I have a few things to announce:

Firstly, I have, obviously, removed my works from this site. Thank you for your time and reviews; they did give me encouragement along the way to becoming the writer I am today. I've improved a lot over the years, and should you ever come across my works in a bookstore in the near future, keep in mind that the stories posted here were from my early teen years, and I am assuredly much better these days.

Of the five stories I'd posted here, both Kai and The Traveler are still on hiatus until I can figure out what to do with them. Ella needs thorough revision, but in the years to come it may hit bookshelves yet. The short story Mage has actually undergone an interesting revamp, and will actually become a full-blown trilogy that will serve as a prequel to my current trilogy of novels. Those novels will likely be published under the name Tales of the Known World, and the first novel, which was posted here under the working title of Elf, will be likely titled Awakening when found in bookstores.

You may very well find Awakening on bookshelves by the winter of 2008, though I can't make any promises. Thanks again to everyone who bothered with me over this site; though I doubt anyone will even come across this announcement, you are all welcome to email me at dvlsdghtr@hotmail.com if you have any questions or comments.
