I have always felt that literature, like the life it reflects, is an examination of the mortal condition of us all. Everything and everyone are equally doomed to end. It is an undertone that runs beneath our entire existence. It makes our triumphs bigger, our joys more joyful, and gives added meaning to our lives. We celebrate romance for those who find it in their measure of time. We weep for those who don’t. Even in my lightest and most jubilant stories, there is always that backdrop of fate. My favorite authors made great use of that pathos in their works. Clarke, Bradbury, Tolkien, and countless others, no matter what story they were telling there was always a sense of mortality, and an inexorable feeling of sadness somewhere. Only one of my published stories is based almost entirely on that concept. It is called “We Were Here!”. It’s a short little tale about mortality, time, and even the fragility of life. For tomorrow only, 2/18/14, I will be offering it free on Amazon. Basically a sample of my writing, that is complete unto itself. I hope you enjoy it, and will take a look at my other novels. goo.gl/b240e
