added a status update: I'm sending this out to all my Goodreads friends who read, enjoyed, and reviewed Eon's Door and/or The Book Knights (my first two books). I just released a new adult epic fantasy, The Blademaster's Call. If it appeals to you, I'd be happy to send you a free EBUB (Kindle Edition) copy of the book for an honest review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Message me if you're interested. |

“You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.”
