    (How It Quietly Connects to the Grammar for the Dead Universe)** As I’ve been building Wolf Wounds — shaping the outline, organizing the acts in Atticus, figuring out emotional arcs — I’ve also been thinking about how this book fits inside the larger universe I’m creating across all my projects.

    If Tolkien explored extreme goodness in the face of extreme evil, my work asks something more intimate, more unsettling:What is the nature of you?And—once you see the world clearly—what do you do with that knowledge? Where Tolkien gave us mythic clarity and King gave us mythic suffering,the universes I am creating push into the space…

    Intro When I began writing Unto a Golden Dawn, I didn’t know what it would become. I only knew I had a mirror, a name I didn’t trust, and a haunting I couldn’t quite articulate. The book grew from there—through recursion, memory, myth, and a constant thread of emotional truth. What it became is part…
