CLOAK OF TITANS: A brief excerpt

Editing remains underway for CLOAK OF TITANS, but I think I’m far enough along to share the very first scene from the book! If all goes well, I hope to have it out before the end of May.

###

Today I’m going to tell you how I caused a civil war.

I wish it hadn’t happened the way it did.

I look back and wonder what I should have done differently.

If there was anything I could have even done differently. If I had been smarter and stronger, maybe I could have avoided it. Or if I had been more merciful.

Or if I had been more ruthless and killed a lot of people when I had a chance

Maybe I should have just walked away.

Do you want to know what the worst part is?

I don’t think I could have done anything different. I couldn’t have made better choices.

Perhaps there never was any other way.
