Holly Lisle is trying a new experiment: writing a novel and sharing it with readers one section at a time, raw before edits.  She’s also collaborating with her daughter, who is producing jewelry and other nifty tidbits related to the book.  I like to encourage alternatives to the “conventional” writing/publishing process, so I’m excited to watch this one develop.

TalysMana is fantasy about an artist who discovers a weird new connection to the characters and settings that she has been imagining all these years.  It begins in media res but I encourage you to read the several installments already available, as I find myself increasingly caught up in the story as it progresses.

Below is an excerpt of the first installment. Read the rest of this entry »
