Happy New Year!
Recently, I completed a short narrative lyrical poem titled Falk’s Karma. This was recently submitted to a publisher so I can’t publish the thing out in the world on my website. However, I can provided an advance review copy for my wonderful paid subscribers, all of whom I treasure.
As to that, It seems likely this year I will have a lot of finished works. I’ve been writing 1000 words a day for almost two full years now without missing a single day, and what it’s yielded is a large chunk of a book series and quite a few shorts, essays and poems. So I am going to do my best to get as much up here first to paid subscribers and then out into the world later. I’m excited for you to read some of my latest shorts and the forthcoming novel, Shades and Shapes in the Dark and it’s sequel, Through an Endless Darkness Gleaming.
Blurb for Falk’s Karma:
Shipwrecked and trapped on an island full of hungry banshees, Falk stumbles upon a cabin and takes refugee. But once he arrives, two mysterious strangers appear at his door and compel him to make a choice that will change his life forever.
Falk’s Karma
Once an older man named Falk,
Ordinary and plain,
Sought shelter in a cabin, in the forest, in the rain.
Alone, he was for miles wide.
Lost, with no one to see,
So strange than a cabin here,
in the land of frosts and banshees.
A sailor marooned upon the shore,
With luck turned in a storm,
Falk wandered through the forest,
seeking to get warm.
He knew the island he tread upon
From darkest lore and tale,
When the rain changed to ice,
The banshees traced your trail.
