The hardest part of learning is that when you start a project, two weeks later the work you've already done is nowhere near the quality of what you're doing presently. Twice I have started Slipping Through and now I'm going for three.
The summer I am dedicating my time to the epic tale of Slipping Through, the tale of a world quite like ours. Expect, here, magic is practiced openly and one might become a Magician the same way one might become a doctor, an attorney or insurance salesman.
The story takes place after a time when the world almost ended, but was repaired in time to save it, though not without cost. The world does not remember how the sky cracked open and other worlds began to slip through into theirs. They do not remember the brave Magicians who made terrible sacrifices to save everyone. It as if none of it ever happened.
The world, however, was imperfectly repaired and there are a few people who remember what happened. Maggie, our hero, remembers. She remembers the magicians who sacrificed themselves so completely that their very existences were destroyed, making so it is as if they were never even born.
Now Maggie's worse fears are being realized: the cracks are reopening and her warnings fall on deaf ears.
*
Maggie is not our only hero, there will be at least six different story lines that converge for the final quest to save the world from cracking apart once more.
This summer I will begin the final version of Slipping Through (No more restarts!) and you will meet everyone from Ting the shape-shifter to the Gray Prince, an exile from another world.
