@Kareem Miskel Those are generous words, thank you. There will be a tiny bit more uploaded in the future, so I appreciate your comments :)

I really like what you’ve done with Affinities The First Ones. It is at different points suspenseful, terrifying and mysterious. You really make me wonder about the burden and community of these gifted/afflicted individuals. Many times when you’re reading you feel as if these people were violated with this power. I look forward to reading more.

Readers, Paul here: tell me what you think so far. I can post another excerpt at a later date, to keep things fresh. Thanks!
