Just wanted to give anyone who happens along a tip. I've got a couple of new posts on my regular website, A Gauche Press - What's New. They're free. One's fun, or ought to be if you have any affinity for a sense of humor as warped as mine. The other is more serious and political. I've been moved these last few weeks by the events in North Africa and Wisconsin. I feel that in some ways, these events are a distant progeny of the conflicts that I attempted to address in The Flight of the Sorceress. I am so inspired by the indomitable will and power of plain, ordinary peaceful people when they have just had enough of the oppression that envelopes their daily existence. I think of them as the unsung heroes and heroines of a human spirit that I attempted to evoke on Flight of the Sorceress. My heart and hopes go out to everyone in the streets.

A Reader Comments on Flight of the Sorceress

"I found the entire book thoroughly engaging.  … Your book gave this world a substance and point of view that made me want to read more and understand the change better.  And of course I felt the intellectual, religious constriction you depicted, believing it again to be happening today.  I did not really appreciate how much was lost as fundamental, doctrinaire Christianity asserted itself at the beginning of the 5^th c.  The central roles played in particular by Glenys, Aschi and Hypatia, revolved around each other to create a plot tension and foreboding that did really work." John Nash, Molokai, HI.
