Where's the Proof?

9/13/2011

 
After more than three years of writing Island Shifters, the hardcopy proof of the novel is making its way to me through the mail.  At long last, I will be able to hold and cradle the baby I have loved and nurtured over so many long days and nights. 

I will finally have my proof.  Proof that I actually completed this daunting epic tale.  Proof that my efforts have been worth the pain.  And, proof that Beck, Kiernan, Rogan and Airron truly exist.  I would hate to go back to a world where the Island of Massa was still a figment of my imagination instead of fleshed out and documented for the world to get to know and enjoy.  Fantasy author Greg Hamerton says it best on his website http://greghamerton.com/greg/about/ when asked, why fantasy?  "Because there's nothing like it!  To feel the world dissolve around you and to see a new world appear, raised from your imagination, well that’s just the beginning.  To read great fantasy is to enter a world of hidden secrets, of great beauty, mystery and danger. We become involved in a struggle on a grand scale. Fantasy gives us the gift of seeing, being able to experience a world beyond our own develops a powerful imagination." 

Well said, Mr. Hamerton. 

The last proof for me comes from you...the readers.  Proof that I did the Island of Massa and her tale justice.  On September 30, I will know for sure.
