About Me
Writing has always been a part of my life, even from the time I was a young boy. There were periods, some of them stretching to several years apiece, when I didn’t write a thing. But I always returned to the art. I read lots, too. Rarely fiction, mind you, but moral philosophy, education, history, religion, politics, economics. My favorites: Erich Fromm, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Lao-tse, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ray Billington, David C. Korten, E.F. Schumacher, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (my all-time favorite). I read the occasional science-fiction novel (Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven, Robert Heinlein, and Frank Herbert); I picked up my first fantasy book, The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, when I was 19 and working in a tiny gas-station booth and needing something to do with the long hours. But overwhelmingly nonfiction of the variety I listed above ruled my bookshelves and my thoughts, and does to this day. Post a CommentOops!The words you entered did not match the given text.

I don't know if this interests you, but I just got an email about this: http://www.humblebundle.com/
Maybe you could get yourself included in the bundle? Might be a good way to get word out about your book. Just an idea. I've never bought a book set from them before, but how it works with games is you pay whatever you want, and you get 4-5 games, usually more. If you pay more than the average you get an extra game or two. It seems the book sale is working the same way. They often add additional games even after it has started selling. Cheers.
I am great, how are you? I love your book. I read through it in less then a week. Can't wait for the sequel. I also had a couple friend and my mother start reading it.
I am exceptional! Loving life as always. I saw your blog on being a newbie RVer. Loved it. My family and I just recently left the RVing life for a slightly more spacious apartment. I am homeschooling my brood and they needed some leg room. I did take time to promote your greatness to my 18 year old. I'll admit it took a little persuading. I told him if he would read the greatest book ever written, that I would agree to read his Halo book. I can't say it was horrible but I am so grateful it was a short read. Anyway, he was very impressed by your book and is now eagerly awaiting book 2! Now to convince the 16 year old to do the same. I prepped her a little since I have attempted to properly appreciate manga and anime lately, so here's hoping!!!!

Sole Survivor: The Story of Kaza of Theseus (A Companion Novel to Melody and the Pier to Forever)
An entire world falls to war.
A young man watches, helpless, as his sister is eaten by a giant demon right before his eyes. He narrowly escapes death himself; buoyed by the current of a corpse-filled canal, he bears horrified witness to the complete destruction of his country, Theseus. The invaders are everywhere--and intent on killing everything that moves or breathes.
With nothing more than the encouraging words of a dying Healer and a mysterious lens-shaped object that his sister threw to him in her last moments of life, Kaza of Theseus dares to escape the closing jaws of doom and make it to the distant renegade fleet rumored to be sailing out of harm's way along the Great Pier known as Ae Infinitus, and led by a king named Conor Kieran Faramond Benedictus I, who dares to stand against the evil and fight back.
It's a tale of faith, courage, and hope--in a time when all three are seemingly nowhere to be found.

Reflections Of Connie
.jpg)
When I was ten years old, just a young boy in fourth grade, I fell in love with a very pretty girl named Connie. It was a magical, hopeful, joyous year, but also one that was deeply tragic and painful.
Let's travel back in time to 1972 ...
The Candle

Allison Oberlan is a pretty twenty-something looking for something different in her life. Little does she know that something different is waiting for her at a Renaissance Festival, where a candle vendor gives her a plain white candle, telling her it will only light for a sorcerer's true love. Follow what happens next when that candle lights for Allison--and changes everything.
*(Please note that The Candle is an erotic fantasy with adult themes and situations, and hence is not available to minors.)

Some stories just should not end, don't you agree?
I'm writing fan fiction for the short-lived Firefly sci-fi series; and I've recently started writing something to tack onto the end of The Princess Bride. You can keep up with my work at PaperDemon.com, where all fan fiction I pen will be posted.
