The Road to Heancurld
Where does the road to Heancurld lead? It leads to Heancurld and far beyond
Heancurld itself is a tiny village of a diminutive and curious folk who live on the distant world of Moordarey.
Beyond the borders of Heancurld, roads wind their way to the distant Vladio, kingdom of Lazorn. There we find ourselves riding with royal warriors, mounted upon the hullox (a large deerlike creature with fierce antlers) in a horrendous battle with the pirates that terrorize those coastal lands To what ends? Read and discover
Then the roads take a distinct turn back to our own earthly sphere with of all things, a frustrated storyteller who longed for his characters on a live being reborn each time his stories were told. It is a self-reflective story of faith and hope.
After some silly interludes in various places, we join a young man on a life-changing sea journey in "voyage to the Pollen Nations."
As true of every other author, my road map has been guided by a few giants. My daughter, Rose, introduced me to Roald Dahl, many years ago, inspiring me to write my own unlikely tale. One of my favorites, "Frank N. Sense and His Incredible Sidewalk Sail."
Not to be outdone by old Aesop, I wrote my own fable about those who fail to learn from history in "The Opera Tuna Tea."
"The Birth of a Revelation," "The gift of Music," and "The Guide" are particularly poignant windows into the faith journey of this author.
Growing up in the San Joaquin Valley, the mountains and trees of the sierras are dear to me and our family. These themes are reflected in the autobiographical works, "Sequoia's Secret Realm" and "Trail of the Owl." "The Lady of Pine Lake" reflects my desire to humbly honor my favorite author, J. R. R. Tolkien.
My travel log concludes with sadness, hope, and deliverance. I pray my journeys bring the reader distraction, joy, and an abiding sense of God's caring presence.
