When Arik Beltrán checks into a hotel on business, he expects the tedium of unfamiliar beds and boring meetings. He expects to meet a financial client and be home before the solitude of being a stranger in a mundane land becomes too much to bear.

Instead Arik finds Blaze: a mysterious man with an inner fire that lives up to the name. Nothing in Arik’s life, not his deranged father nor even his faint brushes with the magic only Arik can see in the woven web of life could have prepared Arik for the man in the hotel lobby who casually invites Arik to room 1109 for late night…Well, anything at all.

Blaze Zaituc, on the other hand, knows exactly who Arik is and what Arik needs: Blaze. He has crossed land and sea to find the man who has appeared in Blaze’s Visions as the next target in the Quest that comprises Blaze’s life. Arik is someone for whom the Universe has plans, and Blaze must make sure Arik complies. Or else.

Unaware of the lives and risks hanging in the balance, Arik untangles himself from the sheets in the silent hours of the morning. He wonders if he will find the door to 1109 open and waiting. He’s not a risk taker, but this one time, just this once, maybe he’ll take a chance…

And seal both his and Blaze’s destinies forever.

Anyway, point to note: we are reorganizing our organization, so please to be paying attention.

As opposed to having the master links in a cumbersome list at the bottom of all the documents, there is now just a link back to the Master Link Document List... document. It's on every doc, now, like a lovely RETURN feature, and it turns out that this makes far more sense than the way we were doing it.

So now there is the ORIGIN STORY (cross-posted in the usual locales);

The MASTER LINK DOCUMENT, which has all the linkage you could want;

And, of course, the READ ME DOC, which is full of amusing shenanigans that tend to happen when you put Henley and me in the same virtual (or real, for that matter) room.

We'll be shout-boxing the Master Link document in posts across social media. (This is the sound of me hammering square pegs into round holes. Again.)

'Cause lawd knows I always share when it's up.

Thank you so much for your interest and support. Posting these things quite literally keeps me going through the stickier times of trials and travels (I have a fantastic story to share about having to break into a hotel during a zombie apocalypse-like, three-town-wide power outage and nearly breaking my nose on the back of a chair! OH HOLIDAYS! YOU ZANY BEASTS).

Other updates are incoming, including the continuing West saga, and... the whole me-rapping bit. Yes, yes, I heard you. I swear I did it once, and I swear I'll figure out what's wrong with my gooder-better-best microphone and do it again... just as soon as I finish taking wicked advantage of this new BluRay player with NetFlix and catching up on every episode of American Horror Story and Orange is the New Black.

PRIORITIES. I HAZ THEM.

XD

If you should need or want me, I'll be in the usual haunts. See you hither, thither, and yon, where there be art, writing, music, or porn to be had.

With vigorous, amorous enthusiasm.

Much love and telling stories in tExT spk!
