This is a very, very old novel of mine that I started way back when it was still called "The Lupis Project". I think I was thirteen or something when I first started writing it. Originally I had just planned on doing some heavy editing to the manuscript, but when I realized that it was no cigar, I ultimately decided to go back and re-wrote the whole bloody thing. I did many things from the revision, which makes it seem like it's an entirely different novel than the one I started out with. Hah! I finished re-writing it some time ago, but I'm still fixing bits and pieces here and there.

The funny thing about this book is that, when I started it, I hadn't intended for it to be another epic. It was just going to be a fifteen-chapter novel going into the backstory on my character, Ravine. Well, as always, the plot evolved and turned into the biggest monster novel I've written yet, with two more books ahead of me. Labor! But overall I think I'm having the most fun with this book than any other I've ever written, now that it's no longer about Ravine but many other pre-written and new characters. This book was originally called "Dance to Rakuen" (don't ask. I thought it was a stupid title, too), but when I stumbled upon the word "Antediluvian" I felt that that word fit my protagonist much better, and later the title evolved into "Antediluvian: Magnificence in Eternity". It follows the path of death itself, but there is more to being death than you think.

I get a lot of people asking me what the title means. It's German--because it takes place in Germany (hurr!)--for "Cataract Moon". That was also its original title before I changed it. It was my project for the first National Novel Writing Month contest, which turned into yet another fairly long project that I eventually ended up finishing a little less than a month after the contest. So yes, I wrote this entire book within two months. Since then, I've done loads of editing, re-writing, and all that fun stuff. Jade has gone through many stages over the years, which started from her being in a rather fantastical setting to a modern violinist living in southern Germany. Like my other stuff, I only have a few samples that are open for readership.

Currently, there isn't much to say about this, except that it's going to be my first full-out horror story. I'm wavering as to what form this project is going to take, not that I don't have a whole lot of time to figure it out, of course. More will be revealed in the future as I progress with it. I'm almost embarrassed to say that this started out as a fan project and is starting to turn into something more original. Oh well. I'm having a fun time planning it whenever I feel like it.
