Common Elements

Numerology

The numbers 5 and 7 pop up a lot in my writing, specifically in the linked worlds of the Aetherium. This is what led me to connect them in the first place. Some of these are deliberate, while others I discovered while I was working. This list is far from complete as the books and their worlds continue to grow and develop.

Five
