Profile Information

About You -what brings you here?
Jack is a native Californian, but has made Oregon his home since 1982. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree of Finance from Portland State University, but studies medieval history in his spare time. His favorite genres are fantasy and historical fiction with a medieval emphasis. Shadows of Kings, the first novel of the Dragon Rising Series is the love child born of these two passions.

“I love the elements of fantasy when mixed with the gritty aspects of a medieval society. In the worlds I create, there are neither citadels of shimmering glass nor any utopian realms.”

The final contributing catalyst to Jack’s creative process comes from his two sons, Josiah and Noah. They remind him how important an active imagination can be, and are the first to hear his tales of diabolical wizards and valiant knights.

“Because of my boys, I still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy.”

Hello everyone!

This post is dedicated to catching everybody up with what’s going on. In the argot of the younger generation, this is my 411 to the masses. I’m basically using this post to compile important links and announcements related to the release of Shadows of Kings. Oh, one more thing. If you liked last week’s surprise guest, then you should enjoy the guest on my next article. So…let’s get started with the house cleaning.

A Moment of Gratitude

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 11:30am 0 Comments

Though the release of Shadow Of Kings is still approximately ten months away, I wanted to take a moment to convey my gratitude for all the supportive souls out there. Between the warm e-mails, Facebook messages, and phone texts, I've been humbled by the attention and interest so many have expressed. The process from scribbling my imagination on paper to having it committed to print is a long one. As exciting as the journey is, having my work go through the Publishing process while… Continue

Unlike the fey who are immortal or flirt with immortality, time for us can be so easily squandered. Be mindful how you use it.

 

For all the writers out there, this is especially written with you in mind. Between writing, editing, reediting, promotion, marketing, and advertising, we can become so consumed in our daily routine, we not only jeopardize the creative process,  we also lose time.

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
