<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;font-size:12pt;">“Rich and varied, touching, maddening, and addicting. Elegant, polished, and believable characters in an amazing world.”</span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;color:#000000;font-size:12pt;"><br />Archelle Baker (eBook Alchemy)<br /><br />“Ever-widening in its scope - fearless in its telling. <br />I cannot help but be reminded of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, not just in the interweaving of time epochs and worlds but also in the author's sheer fearlessness.<br />From earth to heaven to alternate worlds, the story is unrelenting in its incredible vision.”<br /><br />David Dalglish (author of “The Half-Orcs” series)<br /><br />“Complex and intriguing; intelligent and engaging; descriptive enough to invoke all senses. <br />The style is a nice mix--fast-paced and contemporary, yet with classical prose and imagery to satisfy those of us who love the 'old masters'.”<br /><br />C.S. Marks (author of “Elfhunter”)<br /><br /></span></p><p></p>
