The inspiration for the Weavers and Wyrders Saga dates back to one day in the mid-nineties. I was struck by the image of embers burning in a fire. I could see them clearly: orange and black coals shimmering in heat, peeling away from each other. I sat down at my humble desk and in one sitting I penned a four page poem.

It was as if somebody else had control. I couldn’t tell you where the words and names and rhyme scheme came from, but it flowed. Since then my muse has seen to it that the story evolved into what it is now, and what it will become.

When I married my Athelu (“Beloved,” in the Ancient Tongue of Trefolk), my mother made a speech. She said, “The meaning of life is to find your purpose. The secret of life is to give it away.” Maybe these were not her original words, but I know she espoused them.

As of now, I believe my purpose is to inspire through entertaining. Woven through the action, intrigue, erotica and “feels” is the message that You Can Be More. You can be better. You CAN aspire and achieve. More than this, you can evolve into the highest expression of yourself.

I believe in you.

I cling dearly to values of spiritual evolution, personal liberty, the warrior and divinity within, respect for nature, human potential, oh… the list goes on, but this is my journey. With my books and blogs and vlogs and various gratuitous posts I share my thoughts and insights. I’m human, so maybe they won’t find purchase, but maybe, just maybe, they’ll inspire, encourage and uplift you.

Wherever you are, whoever you may be, you have honoured me by reading this. My deepest gratitude for the gift of your time.
