“A man lost to himself is lost to all.”
Jeffrey Marcus Oshins, The Eye of the Archer

“Red-bellied hummingbirds and hard-beaked toucans banked in the mist rising up in wet clouds. The air shook around jagged rock columns that thrust from swirling water thrown white from brown waves. The scent of the muddy river mixed with the ripe jungle smells of rotting leaves and flowers.”
Jeffrey Marcus Oshins, 12: A Novel About the End of the Mayan Calendar
