I’m exhausted but thrilled after my first Left Coast Crime
convention. What wonderful people! This haiku is from the perspective of my
protagonist in Chaos Theory.
Chaos brews unleash’d,
wreathing skies, checkerboard land
there grieving, I yield.
(The ‘d is a breath, a sigh, a gasp not a syllable.)
Chaos Theory is a Poisoned Pencil YA crime fiction. It is about a
young woman who buries a letter written to her from her grandmother, given to
her on her death. Kami drops it unopened
into her school locker and buries it under mementos and items in a chaos theory
science experiment. In the final chapter, she deconstructs the mess in the
locker with a friend...
"All fall semester, I hid from this letter, burying it under piles
of junk, while I tried to find the right place for it in my universe. It is
time. I open her letter... And think about a butterfly beating gossamer
wings--a tiny increment of everyday life, a tiny moment of chaos that changes
lives forever."
Best wishes on your blog, Mary. And thank you again for a
wonderful prompt!
