About the author***
The Raven’s Doctor likens himself to a weaver; his computer is the loom, and the words are the threads. Every day, without exception, the Doctor weaves his tale throughout. Additionally, he will examine his work closely to make sure there are no visible nicks or crevices. He aims to make the reader feel as though they are a fly on the wall witnessing the action take place in real time. What more could The Raven’s Doctor want for? He will also weave his book such that it may continue beyond his death for future generations.

I love the weaver metaphor. And I had never met an artist who was good at math. Well, da Vinci, of course, but a living one. I love manga as a visual art form, so I wonder how this genre would influence literature. Fascinating!
