From my publisher:

Talio Rossa and the Elixir of Life - Six months after the events of Talio’s Codex, Talio and Pazli are living together, but struggling with their mixed-religion relationship. When a lump on Pazli’s neck appears malignant, Talio must do all he can to find a cure, even by magic.

Sad when the leaves start falling.

A backyard featuring numerous trees, including pines and leafy deciduous types showing early autumn colors. A small brick-paved area sits in the center, surrounded by dirt and grass partially covered in fallen leaves.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Well this is….coming along….I suppose. Not quite the paper I think it should be. CP acting like HP, or 100% cotton acting like partially cellulose. Oh well!
