So a few days ago, some folks on Facebook were mentioning the first Mythic Journeys conference back in 2004, a gathering (of artists, writers, poets, musicians, scholars, psychologists, dreamers, imaginauts, celebrants and wandering bards) of near epic proportions I was honored to help organize.

| Loved every moment of this book. First novel I've finished and truly enjoyed in AGES. Wonderfully eerie gothic story set in post war England. Waters is a writer of the first order in my opinion. I found the story--its tensions, environs, characters--...more | |

“In life, a person will come and go from many homes. We may leave a house, a town, a room, but that does not mean those places leave us. Once entered, we never entirely depart the homes we make for ourselves in the world. They follow us, like shadows, until we come upon them again, waiting for us in the mist.”

“He passed his hands over some of the fine embossed bindings as he thought, I am a book also, words and thoughts and stories held together by flesh. We open and close ourselves to the world. We are read by others or put away by them. We wait to be seen, sitting quietly on shelves for someone to bother having a look inside us. ”
