Welcome

You've found me - so thanks. I'm Taran Jordan, a writer who believes in freedom and self-reliance. You might know me as Lightning on several freedom-based discussion forums.

This summer I'm writing a historical novel, working title Liberty Rain, a story of a very unusual young woman who decides to run an also unusual escape route - and has quite a few adventures along the way. As it progresses, I'll post excerpts here. It won't be done by the end of the summer, though...that's way too much to promise!

This is also my place to hash out questions about plotting, characterization, style, and the whole process of learning enough to get published. Your comments and ideas will be welcome. A writer can't and shouldn't work in utter isolation, intellectual or otherwise.

Thanks for stopping by, and please come back now and then.
