How come we chose to go it ourselves?

The short of it: we have a vision that, for better or for worse, we do not want corrupted, altered, or impinged upon. Our goal is to create truly unique texts. Is that even possible? We’re darn sure going to try.

Though our works are tagged with “genres” to give prospective readers an idea about what they might be getting into, we do not believe in the typical “genre conventions” and will not be limited by such predetermined expectations. So please, Dearest Reader, go in with an open mind and be prepared to face the unknown. Breaking the rules is the only way for us to break through the wall. Our works stand for themselves.

We are here to build an oeuvre; a living, breathing universe wherein Tale A, though perhaps eons and light-years removed from Tale D, is still connected to it.

Everything is always connected–and the lifeblood SHELL runs through it.
