Overview

~* Book Three of the Salak'patan Series *~

At the age of 25 Monorth's world was one filled with fevered dreams of far off worlds and fantastical creatures, until one day his narrow world of quiet contemplation was shattered for all of time. More than 25 years have passed since that long ago day when his world was changed forever, by a love he never expected. And in the passage of those years he has been a warrior, a scholar, a leader, a follower, a poet, a philosopher, a wanderer, an explorer, a criminal, and an officer of the law. Each time that his world seemed to crystallize and become stable, something has come along to break that world apart, leaving him to pick up the pieces. Often has he felt that he was merely a piece on the gaming board of the Universe always leading him towards a destiny he did not want, and often has he felt hatred for that unknowable game.

Time has passed since he let his wandering ways lead him back to the hearth and home he left behind. And in that time that followed his world has become stable and peaceful once more, surrounded by the warmth and happiness of family. But with that peace comes the knowledge of all the things left unfinished, the knowledge of all that has been left unsaid and unseen. The knowledge of all those things that remained untouched that could end his peaceful world once for all, bringing death and destruction to all that he loved.

This time he decides that if his world is at risk of being shattered once more, than his is the hand that shall break it. And if he is spend a lonely eternity as destiny's plaything than he must step forward and take control of the game. Or else there is no way to know what might happen to those he cares about. With these thoughts in mind, his imagination begins to stir and the need for a new journey begins to call to him. Thoughts of the Rim and all the untouched worlds still waiting out there begin to whisper to him. A new path seems ready to open up before him leading towards all that yet remains unknown. Only this time the path he feels compelled to follow is not one he must travel alone. It has been said that the more one fights the forces of destiny, the stronger destiny becomes when it choose to fight back. And Monorth is about to discover how true these words truly are, as destiny strikes back..

About the Author

As a substitute of a profile I find hard to make in a reasonable amounts of words, I'd like to offer my philosophy of writing.

Entertainment.
In as few words as possible that is what my books are about.

I wrote them for myself, I personally enjoy re-reading them, I enjoy creating new chapters in on going themes, and I decided to publish them on the chance some few might enjoy them. I did not write them with the intent of publication, I did not publish them with dreams of avarice, and I only, truly hope that there are readers out there who enjoy them as much as I do.

I cannot and I will not promise my readers will like my hobby, agree with my views, or find any entertainment in what I have written. My books were not written for everyone, hence not everyone will like them.

I will do my best to offer the best 'product' to my readers as I am able. I can not yet promise a mistake free experience, but I am one who is never satisfied. Each time I re-read my own words I find changes I wish to make. And I will do my best to leave notice when new editions are available.

Because just as each work I offer to the public might never quite seem finished, the ideas behind them were a process of creation and re-creation. Each thing I bring into the world has been written and re-written time and time again, and they never seem perfect to me no matter how many times they are re-imagined.

Just because you have liked something I have written be it free or not, is not a reason why you will like what else is written. My writing is an organic process, many stories have nothing save a beginning or a future image in my head I wish to make a world in order to play out.

However from that moment after I begin all bets are off, the story can and will evolve from there and become whatever it and the characters may make of it. Just as I can not argue that I am like most any writer, nor can I see any reason in trying to be. I see no need to be 'like' anything, why should my books be 'like' any other book, and I see no reason for 'my books' to be 'like' my other books. Why should the next book be what worked for the one before? Why should I worry if my readers will have the same choices as me as to what 'would have been interesting'?

Do not buy my books without trying them, but also do not buy them if you are going to be disappointed if you don't get what you are expect.. Be it a thrilling plot-twisted action film in print, or a heartfelt romance, my books will not be exactly one thing. I make no promises in my writing but it can also be said I do not fear to follow the chanced inspiration, even if it might re-write the entire unborn ending of a story.
