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.
About the book: The Time of My Life How far would you go to change your life? When Eliza Woods sees an advertisement for someone’s whole life for sale – their house, car, all their belongings, even their clothes and cat – not to mention a trial-run in their job and an introduction to […]
I don’t remember it but it soundslike a neat idea! I am sure lots of people would be interested. Unfortunately until my MBA is over I don’t have time for recreational writing! Maybe afterwards though…
I don’t know Alchera, but I might be interested in cafewriting.com – work etc permitting.
Michele sent me to see what Miss Meliss is cooking up :-)

I’m perpetually clueless, so have never even heard of Alchera. However, it sounds like a spiffy idea, and I’d be happy to toddle along if you decided to start hosting something similar.
It’s been far too long since I’ve flexed my writerly muscles, anyway. I do believe they’ve gotten flabby and soft.
Alchera must have pre-dated my arrival in the blogging world.
But the premise sounds interesting.
I’m always open to try a new writing community site, and “cafewriting” sounds particularly enticing.
Meeeeeeeee!
this sounds interesting to me. Please let me know if you decide to do it.
Sounds interesting….
I’m definitely interested.
Would it fall on a certain day? That’s the only conflict I might have. My Monday & Wednesday have specific themes.

I remember the Alchera Project very well. Granted that was a few blogs ago for me. Back when I was still on LiveJournal.
Anyway, that was exactly what led me to your blog. I was doing a search for Alchera Project to see if it was still around.
I would definitely love to participate.
