JAMIE MCNABB FICTION I live on the soggy, windswept, rockbound coast of Oregon. It’s a great place to read and think and write. The Pacific Ocean and the capes and the storms are stunning. Now and again, the powerlines go down and the lights go out. The internet may even disappear. However, I’m always in touch with the mythic and the fantastic, as long as I remember to open my eyes and look. The best time is when a gale is lashing the coast and the waves are reducing the rocks to tiny grains of sand. My fantasy series, The Assassins of Harmony, is set along the coast and on up the Columbia River, not far from where I grew up. The story takes place a few centuries after the collapse of contemporary civilization. For the people in Assassins, our era is the stuff of dark legends and horrible nightmares passed down, our cities are places to be quarried for metals and building materials or to be avoided altogether, and our surviving books and journals, on the whole, whenever they are discovered, are gleefully tossed onto the nearest bonfire. It’s completely understandable. Following a devastating apocalypse, an annihilating implosion of unimaginable proportions, a great reawakening takes place among the survivors. They turn away from science and technology. Both have failed them. They purge their ranks and their libraries and their profane ambitions. They seek only to return to the way of life before the advent of electricity, before the rise of the machine, before the steam engine, before gunpowder, and before the iron suzerainty of monotheism and masculine gods. The practices of magic and shamanism reemerge, and the patriarchal religions are ruthlessly driven out. The goddess and the god, together with their companions, reign supreme. There is balance. Of greatest importance, the goddess’s divine Harmony, her transcendent emanation, fills and sustains her creation, elevating it far, far above the temporal plane. There are six books in the series, with others planned. They follow the life-and-death struggle of a young magus to ensure the survival of his beloved clan against a cunning web of insurmountable threats. You can sign up for my newsletter on my webpage.
