This cocoon you’ve been traveling in is meant to rip apart.

“Strangely euphoric.” “A book that you think about, long after you’ve read it!” “Unforgettable.” THE AMIE SERIES EMBRACES BIG QUESTIONS WITH EXPANSIVE SCOPE AND FOCUSED INTIMACY. IT BEGINS IN THE LOOK.

You have a body. A life forms around it. Consciously or obliviously, you experience yourself in structures held in place by myths your active presence here creates.
In the context of a room, a neighborhood, a city block, the spinning planet, a galaxy uncharted: you seem quite small and inconsequential in your fleshy vehicle.
This is the deception you've agreed to—a willful forgetting keeps you safely tucked into a pocket of existence your brain can functionally fathom.

• When last we met, I was in the knotty center of a dilemma. Assassins converging in my home. My beloved D celebrating a birthday. Fecundity and fragility contending, pushing me to confront a menace hellbent on wrecking my nest. I’m no longer content to be passive. Life and death together burgeon in me, and I am going to figure this out.” -Amie Marine, in THE POWER - book 2 in The Amie Series
