What is the connection between the things on either side of the semicolon? The ruins of the past are located in the Wild?

A semi-colon joins two related sentences that could stand alone.

"I went to the supermarket; Jane went to the drug store."

For instance.

The ruins of the past are located in the Wild?

Yes

Thanks. I wasn't sure about attributing the author and book, completely made up as they are.

I cleaned up chapter 1 to post on a site where I do some critiquing for others. Everytime I look at it, there seems to be new nits to fix.

I also had to bang out a description which I didn't spend much time on since it was getting late. However, it was kind of fun to make one up.

A Crafter working for the Imperial Guard, Aimee Fallon was only expected to operate a Flyer to transport soldiers to deal with a demon spotting. She thought she would skirt around her orders to test her new invention against a real demon.

Her decision sets off a chain of events that makes her a fugitive wanted by Church and State. Aimee must follow her mentor out of the saftey of the Barrier-protected Empire, and into the Wild, a realm populated by demons and the savage, tattooed Fari warriors. Along the way, she discovers she may be the only person who can defeat the power of the Dead Mountain and save humanity from extinction.

Tonight I need to get back to basic cutting once again.

safety is "ety" Although my spelling chops aren't what they used to be.

Oops, well, I did bang it out pretty fast.

That's what she said.

I turned my book in! Only ... ::checks:: ... six weeks late, but with my editor's blessing!

::collapses::

Congrats, Amy!
