Witches of the Pinspecked Void

a novel by Ran Prieur

I haven't given up on this novel, but my creative process has reached a dead end, in which I'm writing smaller and smaller fragments that don't add up to a greater structure in which they're interesting. Also, I think it failed to find an audience because of bad exposition, something that takes years of experience to do well. So I've put it aside and started another project that's going better.
