About : The Blog
Welcome to the 'About page' of the official blog for 'The End of Worth and Distance : Episode One'; the first book in 'The Eighth Configuration' Universe; the first episode of the TEOWAD series.
Here you'll probably find updates, insights, and chaotically unfolding thoughts about the story and its creation. You'll also likely encounter very long sentences, I promise these occur less frequently in the books (but that has been a battle).
Okay. I think we can now safely say enough has been written about our current context. I mean who would want to read a blog about a blog? That's too meta even for me, an author who willingly puts characters into his books who sit on the page, reading.
(ED: Did you notice how the blog is official,
yet the book isn't? I find that a bit weird.)

About : TEOWAD
'The End of Worth and Distance' is a genre-colliding story that combines science fiction, mystery, darkness vs light, comedy vs bureaucracy in varying percentages that frustratingly never quite add up to 100%. Sometimes it even reaches 111%, which is illegal in some jurisdictions.
I could provide an exact ingredient list, but one of the main themes of the series is that it matters how you get there. So I'm not going to let you off easy.
The story focuses directly —and sometimes there abouts— on a group of people who have to deal with the haphazard unfolding of an alternative reality on a daily basis. But when security consultants Ash Worth and Victoria Distance have their protection of a high-profile venue undermined by the unknown, all manner of things start to shake loose.
What follows is hopefully a tale of hope, resilience, and the unexpected ways in which everything can smoosh together when the world seems to be falling apart.
Think steampunk meets police procedural, found family meets sprinkles of horror, and mystery, oh the mystery... the mystery doesn't meet anything until you least expect it. Well, that's the hope anyway.
Now stop thinking about it and perhaps go buy a copy —once it has been released.

About : P.J. Loop
P.J. Loop is a unique voice in cutting-edge about-page introductions. He has also written a story that got too big and had to be printed out onto separate sheets of paper, which were then bound into a number of volumes, which then —at great pains— had to be distributed around the known universe. Next time he is truly hoping some of this clunkiness will be easier.
This is the part where you tell us why that had to happen?
Because its power was too great to be kept together?
Some deeply historical and mythical problem?
Some other reason?
Erm... because your typical printer has to use special words when your book is too large for standard print runs. Some of them are allowed to be repeated here, others are not.
Not the answer you were looking for, right? Sorry about that. I often find people are looking for meaning in the wrong places.
