With every Durga System novella I wrote, I got the same praise/complaint combination. Reviewers kept talking about how they could sense a larger story behind the books I was giving them.

I'm ridiculously excited to share this novella with you. In fact, I've been trying to reread it all afternoon in order to proof it for typos – but I keep finding myself caught up in the story and skipping ahead. (Even though I know what happened – I wrote the damn thing.) Starfall is the story of a deaf teen girl who's whole life has just been turned on its head.
