Development Pitch
Never Truly Still is a completely original, muse-driven story. It continues a narrative from two previous works -- the series reflects issues that hold California (and other parts of the world) in a semi-invisible, horrifying grip. The characters and events, although fictional, are based on people and experiences that have enriched the author's life over the years. However, the issues, the sruggles, the fight -- they are all too real. Lives are town down, yet with small miracles, sometimes they can be rebuilt.
