I dream and there are doors under my fingers and I am alone. I take my daughter down to the river. The water ripples slowly past, carrying barges for hundreds of years, my shoulders tan darker, we are absorbing the sun, gorging on sweet cherries and overripe strawberries. I write a will and wonder what will become of you, my fearless daughter. I teach you to understand the majestic, eternal va

I HAVE A NEW BOOK.

0 min read

I obviously suck at updating anything ever on here but the preorder of my 5th book "A Horse Made Of Fire" is available for preorder (AND CURRENTLY ON SALE BUT NOT FOR MUCH LONGER) here: http://www.cobaltreview.com/product/a-horse-made-of-fire-paperback-pre-order/ THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING.  My fourth book is still available but there's only about ten copies left (oh NO). 5% of the proceeds to my book goes to COPS ( http://www.nationalcops.org/ ) as well (charity is of my choosing).  PLEASE SUPPORT ME?  I'm mildly competitive and I want to destroy all authors with insane amounts of preorders.  I STILL WUV YOU GUYS (and anyone is welcome to
