Hi. On hiatus.

You may have noticed it's been a while since I've updated. Unfortunately, it's proving too time consuming to maintain this blog on dial-up as well as my blog on Livejournal and a Facebook page.

So I'm placing this blog on hiatus for the time being. If my lack of organisation and tech-savvy haven't scared you off, please feel free to check out my Livejournal over at http://xanthalanari.livejournal.com/, or my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/CL-Holland/70858039099.

Thanks for being interested enough to come over here in the first place.

C.L. Holland

Once, back when he’d been human, he might have appreciated the irony of this particular spot.

It was called the Penitents’ Road because centuries ago it was where heretics were made to repent before they were burned. Of course, humankind had long since evolved beyond the need for such a silly superstition as religion.

Argen Fuller hoped it wasn’t too late for them to evolve beyond the need for mere flesh and blood, too.
