Author has written 13 stories for Haibane Renmei, Kino's Journey, and Christine.

Hello all.

Kino's Journey -- Dead Man's Curve was completed in February 2010, though your reviews and comments are of course always eagerly invited.

The sequel to this series, Old Haunts, is essentially complete as of February 2011, though both series are subject to additions. Because "Haunts" follows a different character, Gia, I've formatted it as a single entry. Again, I'm eager to read your feedback.

In real life I've built a career in Hollyweird, but not as a writer I'm sad to say. Six feature screenplays currently languish on my hard-drive.

If you're just now reading my stories here, welcome. Kino's in for a mind-blowing trip that will change her forever.

I don't think she'd want it any other way.


1. Flowers and Smoke
The Bird of Time part two: Wouldn't it be interesting to know how Kino's Journey... ends? Will she find a warm home and family, or will she perish in the cold? Will she travel on, until the years catch up with her? Will she reach the destination Hermes promised, or was she fated all along to go up in smoke?

2. The Bird of Time reviews
Kino thought back to the stories Master had given her to read - in one, a person had panicked and frozen to death. Another protagonist had died by infection. More by thirst, quicksand, bog, crocodile, abandonment or betrayal. Now, Kino knew, she was in one of those stories, and despite all her efforts and preparation, fate had found her weakness!

Old Home was the same, Guri was the same, yet everything seemed out of joint to Hikari. Some primal voice inside her whispered an alarm she couldn't ignore. What was wrong with this strange new young feather named Leaf?
