The color green. His father's flag. The church decor. The Ivy League. It seems to follow the aspiring academic Seph Clarkson wherever he goes, like his life is being suffocated by its overgrown weeds. In a series of letters to his long-estranged Pa, Seph chronicles his journey from institution to institution, hoping to one day discover the textbook he will find himself in.

For lovers of the Hyboria of Robert E. Howard and his larger-than-life characters Conan and Red Sonja, comes this tale from the author of Rose of Sorrows (Amazon, eBook, paperback, hardcover). Not of larger-than-life heroes, but of a Mouse who scurries unnoticed in the shadows trying to survive in an unrelenting and cruel world. Zamora, it is said, produces the best thieves, spies, and assassins. Among the various Grandmasters, none have heard of Jhyai. And that is how she likes it.

A common roadside diner, an eclectic cast, and an existential crisis leads to an examination of life and death, and what they mean. What lays beyond life? Perhaps it is a window to lost souls.

The clerical cloak given to him to confine him to the ways of The Moon God instead let Festor stay invisible as he quietly grew his rebellion. Festor's hidden alliance - called L'Sunder - seeks to mix both the cultures and divine magics of the world's major cosmic deities. The time has come for him to start pushing his initiative publicly, an effort for unity he hopes will change the world for the better. Or, in the eyes of the current head of a priestly bloodline deemed near-royalty, Half-Moon Davodson Lunik the Fifth, shatter the universe's stability entirely. Influential, wealthy, and relentlessly devout, Lunik is Festor's biggest threat. Conference after conference seems to bring the two rivals much too close for comfort, threatening to expose L'Sunder out from under the radar. Much as they want to believe it, neither party is wholly virtuous nor villainous, each finding the game - and their adversary - growing more complicated the more cards they play. Festor just hopes he'll make it out with the upper hand. I'm writing this story as a teaser for my visual novel Project Grandfather Clock - demo coming this winter.
