Indigo, the Deep is the third installment in Kellye Abernathy’s Yellow Cottage series, and the third time I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in one of her stories.
I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.
Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.
Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

Wow, that’s a great one! Very nice. I’ll be posting my faded soon! I hope you’ll stop by.
I can imagine the orginal bright, bright, bright colour, but I much prefer the faded version. Great post for this week’s theme.

First of all, I love your new design! The picture is awesome, too :-) And…nudge[cafewriting]nudge.
great shot!
I love all things farm related.
I can just smell the tractor oil and dirt.
faded is good.
A powerful picture made even more powerful by its back story. I think I like this tractor more in its present state than I ever would have had it been right off the showroom floor.
great picture. The fields around here have a few these old beauties. Great take on the prompt.
A brand new one is nice, but the faded tractor…. well, it says a whole lot. Great choice for the theme!
What a history that tractor must have.
Great choice for the prompt.
Oh thank you! Not only is this a great photo, but you’ve given me an inspiration.
I love this photo. We have a antique tractor here on our little farm and i love the nostalgia that it brings. Great interpretation of the theme!
