Protopia Series

Stories from a protopian future

Protopia (n.): A world that is not perfect, but is getting better; one that is on the long arc toward justice, carried by human hands.

What if the future didn't have to be dystopian?

The cover of Paleomythic. The moon shines down on dark water; there is a swirl of ripples on its trail of light; palm trees stand in the foreground and on a headland visible on the left. On the right, a bit above the horizon, are two points of light.
Paleomythic

You know me—you have always known me. I mark your months, guide your tides, watch over your sleeping world with silver constancy. I am your Moon, and I have been here since fire first learned to dance with stone.

The Moon has always known the stories. She was never willing to tell… until now.
