MA-JI: Seer of Ages

About the Book

Daniel is a very young man when he is separated from all that he knows and loves. Pulled into a city of innumerable temptations and exalted to a position of power and authority, he fights to keep himself grounded. An ancient sect of Seers—the Ma-ji—seeks him out. They recognize in him the ability to see farther into the future then anyone else has ever gone, and they know how much the dark forces covet this knowledge.

With his three best friends alongside, Daniel must face disappointment in their actions as well as his own. Daniel’s dreams led him on a quest for the fabled “Twelve Masks of Life.” These masks hold the key to a power that sets minds free. They are the source of creativity on this planet. The created becomes the Creator…the control of all future civilizations lies in the balance. Truth becomes skewed and Daniel’s innocence will be lost.

Daniel is a dreamer, and a dreamer dreams. It is the dark image of unrelenting strength that comes to him, forcing submission on the weak, but it is the meek that shall prevail. Daniel must endure Abed’s fall from an unwise path. He must watch as his mentor and spirit-guide is stripped away from this life by those who would use knowledge to further their own personal ends.

To know one’s place and to fight for the good of all creatures is the journey of the heart.

About the Author

Born the son of a farmer’s son, I grew up in rural Indiana. With dirt under my fingernails and grass stains on my jeans, I never wanted for a fresh breeze on my skin or the wind at my side. My parents, along with a small congregation, struggled to send me off to college. It was there I met friends of a lifetime and began to understand the dogma that had so colored my life…my cocoon was starting to come undone. After college, I entered the military and was exposed to many new and wonderful thoughts and ideas. It was then that I began to see a world too small for my burgeoning spirit. My mind had been filled to overflowing with answers, but when life presented a different set of questions, I found the stock answers lacking. That is when my marvelous journey began…to a place of unbounded light, and un-harvested fields. I am only just now beginning to see the depths of this world’s hidden reaches. I invite you to come and sit by the winding waters with me and hear the tale of the frenzied brook. I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia USA, and work for a large telecommunications company. I write in my spare time and enjoy photography.
