About the Book

Quest until every scar transforms. This book is an epic poem written in a variety of poems styles. It is about a man who feels the need to die. Perhaps, not literally, but he snuffs out his life none-the-less. He finds himself in a place that is foreign to him, but somehow familiar. He meets a woman, who has no past, but is confident in the future. He meets a scientist whose present relies on him, though it is beyond his scope to understand. He meets villains of various sorts (some internal demons as well as the traditional black-hat variety.) He meets allies of various sorts, as well as a dragon or two. He travels from a modern skyscraper in Manhattan, to a lonely snowbound mountain in the Alps; and eventually to a barren island off the coast of Wales. All the while, searching for something he has lost. This book is about this man, Joshua Stillman, and another man, Sir Aldric Selwyn. A man who brings all these elements together so that lessons can be learned and transformations can be made.


About the Author

The author has composed this rhyming 5-7-5 haiku to describe herself: Running water flows Like rare knowledge no one knows Shining moonlight glows She currently lives near a stream in rural Pennsylvania with her books and a very fine cat indeed.
