Every person’s life is a profound mystery. Deep and invisible currents make us who we are, and the world around us is full of secret purposes and laws. One reaction to all this mystery is to treat it as a problem to be solved, and to do everything possible to be informed and in control. But another way is to bow down in ignorance and confess our limitations. Religion and spirituality, for eons has been closely connected and offered creative ways to become individuals of depth and compassion by embracing spirituality. The religions have a cherished cargo, but they often fail in their job by moralizing, intellectualizing, and defending themselves to such an extent that their real intention is clouded. Today individuals all over the world are deserting the religions in disgust and anger. Still, everybody has an instinct for transcendence. Individuals know that some kind of spiritual life is essential, and so a lot of people are exploring on their own or joining new churches and communities. They differentiate between their own personal spirituality they've found and the religious institution they've abandoned. [more]

How do you get the virgin to the top of the volcano without letting her know she's the sacrifice? Meet twice divorced, Darce Vardy. A coddled, middle-aged social worker with a penchant for minding his own business, wearing spiffy clothes and caring for his beloved antique red BMW. Darce was knee-deep in a recurring dream about his boyhood dog when the phone rings and the world as he knows it begins to turn inside out. The cold cruel voice at the other end of the line goads him into solving riddles in a frantic attempt to save the life of an innocent child. "Come off it, Millicent,’ he says. “I'm an office drone, for God’s sake - not a parlor psychologist.” The reader may well ask why Millicent chose him? Is he the virgin for this particular volcano? Maybe, there's more going on here than meets the eye. Trickery, mayhem, and possibly murder, along with some genuine love and compassion vie for pride of place in Darce's story, along with dry wit, intelligent twists, and extra crisp dialogue. The villains are despicable, the good guys and gals are delightful, and those that fall in between do their best to provide a quality reading experience. [more]

“They shun you like a monster, but I see a champion; a force to be reckoned with. They are zealous, brutal, and without compassion, but you will be worse.” Dredt had to fight. Years as a hermit and bandit on the run led up to his enrollment in a mercenary corps, and he's going to end up regretting it more than anything else. The land is scarred, war-ravaged, breaking at the seams, and he signed up to push it to its limits. Armies will crumble, towns will burn, the trees will weep in sadness at the bloodshed between brothers, and Dolsa will face centuries of war. But what will become truth and what will become legend? Deluve's Waif is a dark fantasy story about the unflinching luck of life. It is set roughly four centuries before the other book in the Karaask Chronicles, The Eroded Knight, but is its own standalone story. These are the myths of old that are told to frighten kids to sleep. The ones that remain tales because the alternative is too grim to bare... [more]
