Praise for THE WAR:
“I believe that most, if not all the fighting, takes place upon the field of the human mind... Like Kafka without the bad vibe… For my part, it came to me last night as I was putting down sealer on the front porch. Your writing in The War has influenced me greatly. It is a catalyst. I tend to think that what we are seeing here goes beyond that. Maybe well soon need the myths to build on.”
~ D. Robertson
“Truth, Beauty, Goodness. Ive been following this story since it was first being shared, and have savored each chapter as it came. Reading it is like dreaming, true and real in a way that reality rarely seems. It lingers beneath the minds surface in a way similar to a George MacDonald story. If youre traveling a certain kind of road, I think youll find its like a drink from a clear mountain stream on a hot summer day: refreshing and worthy of contemplation.”
~ J. Cork
“Ive got to say how unusually visual this tale is. I know just which floorboards squeak…
Time is timeless out here in the fields of gold.”
~ D. Johnson
“I majored in English in college. I got dragged kicking and screaming through more "Great Literature" than I care to remember. Nothing prepared me for The War. It is hands down, the finest thing I have ever read.”
~ J. MacLean
