Topic: FABLE/PARABLE
"It's refreshing to look at the abortion debate through a different looking glass. Things that we've grown accustomed to seem so 'odd' or 'grotesque' when we examine them within the context of your work. Really got the cogs working... This was an excellent piece! Keep writing." (PollGear Feedback)
That feedback is for The Grim Shadow: A Modern Day Fable which is currently in the process of being published and should be available in September. I poured all my outrage, passion and experience in the telling of the story. I was trying to give a voice to the thousands of babies that are killed each day inside their mother's womb or as they are being delivered.
"In The Dimension of Barbarik there are six Clans: The True Believers, The Idealists, The Power Hungry, The Skeptics, The Indifferent and the Truly Persecuted. Nanah Cub is a True Believer with a promise seared into his heart's memory - he will be there to greet Tare Ree upon her entrance into Barbarik. Meanwhile, The Executioner has been patiently lurking in the grim shadow that has crept insidiously over The Dimension of Barbarik, making it a race against time to see who gets to Tare Ree first. A story packed full of action, suspense, betrayal, terrorism and a dubious political election, The Grim Shadow is at its core a parable of courage, loyalty and love."
