Synopsis

Dinged in signs on the road to nirvanic buggery—life had never felt so much like this before.

Tricked through a Bridge into Sanat by Zephyr and a splinter group of the Eventyr, Alexandru ‘Sandu’ Barr is left no choice but to complete his search for the weapon and what is supposed to be a final confrontation with Loehr.

In a confused, surprising, phantastic, and bloody run across the heartland of the Nexus—then back on Earth—Sandu is forced to confront the fundamental nature of his rage; the intentions of the cabal known as the Rada; the confusing, duplicitous love of a transmogrifying woman; the existential nature of the weapon and his relationship to this; lastly, the fundamental nature and appearance of redemption—behind the drum and bugle.

In ‘The Dog Particle’, Book II and conclusion of ‘The Burdened Air’, Sandu’s skip across dimensional frontiers, and then back, takes its toll on man, planet, and metaverse in ways unexpected and troubling for all. Hope, of sorts, remains, because in this is the only way forward—even if ludicrous, debilitating, and—finally—another episode in the Eternal Return, unless Sandu can break the cycle of violation and violence.

From the Broken, Bk.1 of "The Cinn"

Hoping to get another 4,000 works on my new book 'From the Broken', bk.1 of "The Cinn". Look for it @ Amazon in late summer or early fall.

43,000 of 140,000 completed so far.

A New Project

I have, mostly, finished the editing for the 2nd volume of The Burdened Air and this will go to the book designer next month. 

Meanwhile, I am 29,000 words into the 1st volume of my new trilogy...still no title. The 1st book will be a projected 140,000 words and the 1st draft should be completed by early March. The book itself should be ready for publication in June of this year. 

Describing a work in progress is about as difficult as describing a finished book. But, basically, it is a delinquent coming of age story in a contemporary Canadian city as magic is returning to the world.

The essential theme is that Secular Humanism and Faith need to find a way to live together or they will kill each other.   

Elements to be found in the story are: Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Romance, Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Psychology, Philosophy, Literary Fiction, and Magic [not so much Religion]. 

Note: The author takes neither the side of magic nor secularism. The functioning thesis is that both must learn to live with the other, or destroy each other.  

Seurat Construct [Paperback] Available

Happy Reading

Synopsis
For Francis Bacon-'Revenge is a kind of wild justice'. For Sandu Barr, it was all which remained to him in the years since his wife's enigmatic death.

Drawn across cities, countries, and continents by ludic memories and quixotic chimaeras, Sandu is fired by the pursuit of what happened, why, and-above all-for those responsible. Still, he'd no real expectation of success until that evening in the industrial basin.

The cryptic encounter-hard on the docks-with the figure scuttling down the ruined, derelict streets offered the first genuine opportunity in years. From this a widening gyre of gesture, absurdity, battle ballet, metaphysical elusion, and political in-fighting emerged. Detail nearly drowning sense and purpose.

Helped by dream, a jade-eyed, black grimalkin of mixed purpose, a hesitant, self-righteous cabal, and his own rage he stalks a tableau of characters and elusive endgames which cross time, M-Theory, myth, folklore, eschatology, and the burdened air of revolutionary wrath and justice.

Cosseting these is an exegetical, if suspicious, promise of redemption.

The Seurat Construct is Book I of 'The Burdened Air'. This is followed by The Dog Particle, Book II and conclusion of 'The Burdened Air'.
