I am a budding author and am almost finished with my first novel, which will likely be called The Song of Kiri. I am also beginning to work on a second project entitled Blanco! In the coming weeks and months, I will be posting several chapters from both works for interested readers. Unlike my short stories and essay pieces, I will be selling my novels because who needs four yachts when you can afford five. … 🙂 … (Actually, most books lose money and selling them is simply done to recoup a bit of the hundreds to thousands of hours I put into them.) I am hopeful that both works (and others which may follow) will present unusual stories, the likes of which are rarely seen in human literature. Enjoy the selected chapters and stay tuned for hopefully other interesting content ….
