Harbor of Memory
For a while now my Dad has said that my novel, NeverSeen, is like a cross between Tinkerbell and Avatar. In short, it's an updated fairy tale. I suppose that's fair enough. As you can see in this excerpt, Skyglass has some resonance with the massive Hometree on Pandora. Still, I didn't write my story with that in mind. Like all writers, our ideas come from a mix of things we're read, heard, encountered ...and imagined. Again in this scene, I was focused on how our memories can harbor life events that have faded and may be hard to recall. But hard to reach isn't the same as unreachable. In fact, when an effort is required the memory is often deeply important. As we close out 2021 (Yay!), I hope you have many wonderful memories that find their home in that harbor. May you find peace and joy in 2022. ~Taylor PS: Hey, I hope you like this little excerpt from NeverSeen and that you grab a copy of my book. You’ll love it...and have my gratitude!

Book Excerpt
NeverSeen
I could feel the life of that ancient tree pulsing through every fiber of wood inside of it, the life of everyone who was and ever would be there: children, elders, fathers, mothers. And Mom, finally resting and waiting with love for the baby to come. Love. It wrapped itself around me in the fair breeze pouring in, the branches stretching their way to the High Sky, and the fountain of water waiting to quench the thirst of the poor, tired faery that stayed there. It was the perfect environment for rest and recovery. It had been a long day.
I attempted to recall what had occurred in my day by sweeping away the fog covering the harbor of my memory. It faded in the sort of way that you don’t quite realize, until everything is crystal clear, and the water is smooth as glass as the little boat of the memory you desire to reexplore drifts closer to shore, and you peer inside to find the thing you seek.
