It begins with an imagined origin story on Minoan Crete in the Late Bronze Age, and will continue through to the Sanctuary of Delphi's end in the 4th century CE.

I am writing the entire story all at once, then will split it up into separate books for revising and editing. Currently projecting a 4-book series.

I anticipate writing throughout 2023, then editing and publishing in 2024 and 2025.(less)

Oops I did it again

It’s been way too long since I’ve updated this blog, and I truly apologize. It’s been … a heckuva last three years.

Even before I finished Prophecy, Book 3 of the Keeper of the Sphere trilogy, I’d been researching ancient Greece for my next project. See, back in August 2019 I woke up with a woman’s voice echoing in my head.

“Tell my story,” she’d demanded.

Somehow, in the way of these things, I just

“All have their worth and each contributes to the worth of the others.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Paulo Coelho
“Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.”
Paulo Coelho

Roald Dahl
“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
Roald Dahl, The Twits

J.R.R. Tolkien
“You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin – to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours – closer than you yourself keep it. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the ring. We are horribly afraid–but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
