Guest Post
On December 8th of this bizarre year, 2020, I released my fifteenth novel. In an oddly appropriate way, this last entry in my six book epic fantasy series, The Endarian Prophecy, is titled "Prophecy's End". With the advent of COVID-19 and the ensuing worldwide panic the pandemic has caused, it may seem like we are living in the prophesied END TIMES and that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are upon us. What are we to do?
I will not attempt to speak for you, but as for myself, I intend to keep on living my life, savoring every single day, however many or few they may be. I have Carol, my loving wife of thirty-nine years, who has traipsed around this world with me throughout my career in the U.S. army, by my side. We play golf, we dream our dreams of the future, and we enjoy each other, our family, and our friends. And I get to earn my living making up stories and telling them. Hopefully, they will provide some much needed escapism from the trauma so many of you are enduring.
Carol and I wish all of you a very happy and healthy new year in 2021.
