Overview
Those unknown forces reinstate. Golanthia begins to thunder!
- Does one run from that which they fear?
- What is survival if one does not survive whole?
- Trials shape us all: For good-For bad-Forever!
Encouraged by the most unlikely of creatures, The Duchess embarks upon an uncertain quest to discover the whereabouts of her old companion and perhaps something unknowingly lost. Away from the lushness of the squeaky old house, boldly facing the barbaric realities of the wilds, she learns more about herself than thought possible.
Abruptly becoming lost, little Binder unpleasantly finds himself in the yard. Roaming throughout Golanthia, stumbling upon friends and foes along the way threatens his previous reflection of reality. Through a paw full of un-expectant occurrences, he glimpses a previously undiscovered side to his mouse personality. Utterly lost, rigorously clashing with those unknown forces for survival, any recollection of the squeaky old house quickly fades.
A masterfully crafted and intensely spellbinding account of how a little house mouse, relentlessly pursued by his wicked nemese, unwittingly goes far too far. A magnificent chronicle displaying the power of storytelling, introduces a curious group of "critters" going beyond the impossible, discovering trust and what friendship often requires! Courageously facing the harrowing unknown with their world elaborating about them forever changes their lives.
Intensity of understanding is received through experiences which shatter ones tenuous grasp on reality. Readers of all ages will wholeheartedly welcome this delightful tale and refreshing insights into that which was only thought known.
Golanthian Quips
- "Crusaders of Golanthia is very visual - the critters seemed alive"- Gina
- "No one writes like this anymore – it made me tingle" - Jane
- "I could hear the wind blowing and see the grasses waving-they were not even mentioned"- Bob
Facing fears
Watching the light from above silently filtering through the dust of his passage, little Binder is sitting lost and all alone in the dark. Tears are flowing down his furry cheeks, creating slight mud balls around his eyes, as his quivering sniffs go unheard. With the darkness of the wall swallowing all sounds and stealing all sight, he rests his chin in his little paws, taking a long sighing breath. Squinting desperately, impossibly trying to see, he is praying to those unknown forces that the dancing shadows are friends coming to help
Perseverance
Highlighted in a strobe effect caused by the flashing skies, amidst any real or imagined dangers from the darkness, our valiant crusaders realize that shelter and safety are luxuries seldom afforded by the wilderness. Moving stealthily through the covering foliage, frantically battling the diverse elements of the yard, our heroic band of critters learn that when it comes to survival, one must consider probabilities not possibilities.

About the Author
Originally, writing a book was not the intent. Then it became necessary to see if it was accomplishable. Eventually, it became a tool to show the spawn (affectingly referring to the kids, included in book 3, as the locus, because they seldom leave any food behind) that anything can be accomplished if one has a passion and sets their minds to it.
Writing is passionate, it is draining, and it is a lot of work. It is also one of the surest ways of self-exploration. Reaching above and beyond is always a challenge. Success, most often, can be measured in many different ways. However, with most things in life, those having any real meaning, some simply must be earned.
G.E.Graves, a natural storyteller, was born, raised, and lives in Minnesota. Having traveled most of the United States, parts of Canada, Europe, Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean, he has gathered experiences along the way that have been woven into stories for all ages.
Reading has always been a great joy. It continues to be so to this day. Writing now fills most of my time. Honestly, as a reader, I would never have guessed all that goes into the craft of writing. Had I known before hand, I may not have done so. However, as with most things, once I have begun, I tend to stick with it like a bulldog.
Even so, I am still known to sneak away and lose myself in some newly discovered book or an old favorite. Books can be friends, they can capture ones imagination in a way nothing else can. It is nice to go on a vacation, a book brings together another place, another world, and possibly through this an un-expectant experience. There are many things in life that one must experience firsthand to understand. There is no replacing actual participation. However, with thoughts carefully expressed through words, we may learn through the experiences of another. This, in my opinion, is what writing is about, not to replace life and living, but to enhance it.
