Starblind

Jaxen Vane has spent twelve years on the road. A touring musician with no fixed address, he has built his life around motion - the next show, the next city, the next song. He doesn't stay in places. Places are what you pass through.

Then the van turns into Blackwater Bend.

The booking is two nights at a river pavilion in a small valley town. It should be unremarkable. Instead, Jaxen finds himself watching a woman stand perfectly still across the water, entirely herself in the landscape around her —-and something in the melody he has been carrying for months finally shifts.

Juniper Hollis was born in Blackwater Bend and has never left. She runs a botanical shop, knows the rhythm of the valley in every season, and is not waiting to be found. She is simply, completely, present.

What grows between them is not a romance of grand gestures. It is something slower and more durable - four seasons, four returns, letters written on hotel stationery, and a song that could not be finished until he knew where it was trying to go.

STARBLIND is a novel about what it costs to stay in one place and what it costs to leave it — and the particular kind of love that grows between two people patient enough to let it become what it needs to be.
