Fiction of the Wolf

"The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them."

- Mark Twain

Is it ever too late for love? Perhaps, at the end, we're

provided a gift, a final glimpse of what we were always

meant to have. When the temperature falls, and the

snow drifts higher than stranded cars, perhaps warmth

is only as far away as our fingertips can reach...

How close are identical twins? How far do boyhood

dreams travel? And how deep is a sharing love that never

dies? When one boy completes another boy's wish, who

is to say which boy is which, or if the road ever ends out

along the interstate where the fireflies dance...

Sometimes the only way a wounded soul can heal is by

linking up with a kindred spirit with a heavier load. A man

with a broken heart and lost dreams might be able to save

a crushed little girl, with the help of Robin Hood and his

merry men, and a little pony named Wildfire...

"Searching for Bobby Fischer" meets "Firestarter" meets

"Kramer vs. Kramer." How far will an unfairly imprisoned

father go to protect his only son from a child prodigy

monster, a boy who has already killed several children in

a high-tech virtual/hyper-reality Creativity Game?

In a world where creativity has lost its flavor, is it possible

for true artists to even survive, let alone interact with others

or communicate, heart to heart? A beautiful young dancer

could be the proverbial "last chance" for a tortured writer,

but does she dare speak to her lonely customer?

Be careful what you wish for. A young journalist's chance

to meet his idol, a mysterious writer vanished from the

world's eye, could prove to be a fatal dream come true. He

must either witness the death of idyllic dream, or lose his

own way in the war zone between insanity and genius.

"If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like old faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape."

- Ray Bradbury

"To keep a lamp burning we

have to keep putting oil in it."

- Mother Teresa

"Genius is 1% inspiration

- Thomas A. Edison

"All generalizations are

dangerous, even this one."

- Alexandre Dumas

"Control

your emotion

or it will

control you."

-Samurai Maxim

"Kites rise highest against

the wind -- not with it."

- Winston Churchill

"Mediocrity

knows nothing

higher than

itself, but

talent

instantly

recognizes

genius."

- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"God doesn't give people

talents that he doesn't

want people to use."

- Iron Eagle

He now knows why he has never fit in, why he has always

been different. Now he knows why he has always felt

alone and why love has seemingly passed him by. Can he

forgive the woman who kept him in the dark? Or the man

who deserted him? An old man on wheels has the answers.

Bel is the hot girl, the one all the boys fantasize about, but

why does she spend time with Dave? He's a nerd, and he

adores her, would do anything for her, believes everything

she says and would offer up his very life if she wanted it.

The trouble is, maybe she does want it.

Matson is not the typical psychotic sociopath. He is some-

thing more. Something extra. When Matson chose Angelica,

Tommy called his best friend Harry, who knows best how to

deal with stalkers. If Tommy knew the truth he never would

have called. Harry doesn't stand a chance.

worlds that never were. But

without it we go nowhere."

"The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master -- something that at time strangely wills and works for itself."

- Charlotte Bronte

...for the first time, read a preview of the new novel...

While the world falls apart about them, a small fellowship of men and women

fight and claw to find some truth to set them free of violence, terror and madness.

Is there truth? Are men and women mere animals? Will only the very strongest survive? Stacey, the ground-

down, worn-out ex-boxer hungry for suicide; Jack, a sensitive teenager forced to choose between witchcraft and

the religion of his great grandfather; Bronte, the ethereal musician caught between the twisted spiritualism of

her mother and the elusive vision of a soul mate; Joshua, a gentle giant searching for the perfect church, terrified

of using his monstrous strength against people; the charismatic preacher Bobby Cilantor who draws thousands

to his "old-time gospel shows" where miracles and emotionalism compete side by side; Michael, a fierce

introvert ready to stand up to the entire world to protect those he loves despite his twisted, dwarfed body. The

gray man stalks the world and "Jehovah's Army" hones its skills with bayonet, commando knife and automatic

weapons. The world hovers on the brink of "Secret Rapture," but is everything as it appears to be? Impossible

as it seems, even the elect can be deceived. As many invest in "left behind" videos and insurance only a few

special people seem to detect the crumbling concrete beneath all the glittering gold paint -- is the world on the

edge of another, more desperate holocaust, a more savage and complete inquisition, or is it one closed door

away from a bright and new utopian world where a king of kings will rule a new world order with an iron rod?

Forces are marshalling, powers gather on high places, and Stacey is having dreams of heaven, or a place very

much like heaven, but the man with the crown and the false smile is definitely nobodys' messiah.

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."

- Albert Einstein

"Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams -- daydreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing -- are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to invent, and therefore to foster, civilization."

- L. Frank Baum

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."

- Louisa May Alcott

"The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen."

- Frank Lloyd Wright

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing; it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well."

- Voltaire

"Whether you think you can, or think

you can't, you're probably right."

-Henry Ford
