It's a long hard road ahead for you, little warrior. Enjoy a happy day while you can. —Boldred

Each of us is born to follow a star, be it bright and shining or dark and fated. Sometimes the path of these stars will cross, bringing love or hatred. However, if you look up at the skies on a clear night, out of all the countless lights that twinkle and shine, there will come one. That star will be seen in a blaze, burning a path of light across the roof of the earth, a great comet.

I still pinch meself when I wake up of a morning...Who ever thought I'd be a children's author -- let alone a best-selling children's author? I feel I should still be driving a truck, or (working as) a longshoreman.

Who knows, my friend? Maybe the sword does have some magic. Personally, I think it's the warrior who wields it.

I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc... to find success writing children's novels.

Aha! Today I shall become an author! And I will auth and auth and auth and make a squillion dollars, whoopee!
