The Latest for Venturers!
■ And so we've reached the end of our venture. Thanks for reading!
Debut of the Book of the Elder Wisdom!!
■ It's finally here: Book of the Elder Wisdom, my first published novel, available in both ebook and printed versions at Amazon! Below appears a summary of its story, as well as links to its first 4 chapters, to give you an idea of what to expect.
It is 1984 ... Orwell’s year. Yet, it seems, not his alone, for it marks the coming of the Elder Wisdom: the legacy of another long-dead author, which threatens to become a reality of eldritch horror, conjured by monstrous forces from beyond our world.
An unwitting heir to this legacy stumbles onto its dark mysteries, and sets out to solve them – on a quest that ranges from an ancient tower of the Anasazi in the American Southwest, to the streets of Skid Row Los Angeles, and finally into the farthest reaches of time and space.
The Book of the Elder Wisdom renders a faithful account of these strange events and all that ultimately transpired, as told to R. Walter Dutton.
It should also be mentioned that the book has received two wonderful reviews, on Joy Spicer's blog here, and on Berthold Gambrel's Ruined Chapel blog here!
Check out the reviews, and have at look at the reviewers' impressive blogs!
