The Prologue to “The Recluse Storyteller”
One month from today – October 8, 2013 – I’ll be releasing my second novel, The Recluse Storyteller. I’m very excited to finally publish this novel which I wrote in the summer of 2012. It was very unexpected and different from Beauty Rising. The structure is unique and, perhaps, a bit confusing. In order to help set the…
