A. Marieve Monnen wasn't born in HYLA; in truth, HYLA was born within her. Engineer by day/poetess by night, she divides her writing time between the Scriptorium at Wythe and a cottage at Candlebridge. She visits Carriage House in the City, lingering at Bevel’s Woven Goods, Paper & Quiller’s, and Fair Winds. At the Cliffs, she breathes with the waves, makes a bit of salt, recalling all that transpired there. Seabirds still nest on Fortress heights, and the Luna-lim faithfully return.
