My entire creative focus since 1998 has been on visual imagery. A glimpse of life on the other side in an art working group or class suggests I've chosen art as my focus there too. Don't be misled by that into thinking this is not good. I view this as my masterpiece bcause of its complexity.

The Inferno (c1998) is a 43,000 word novel about a young shaman on another planet. Raised in a provincial city, he struggles to balance two worlds. After meeting a young woman with similar powers he begins to recall earlier lives in which she was killed. His discovery of a secret society brings him in contact with magicians who pose a new threat. Alone and hunted, he is tempted to unleash dark forces to fight the magicians.

This Inferno is a short, intense, highly readable work. It was too short to submit for publication in the fantasy market, which requires 60,000+ words. Its focus on consciousness complements my art. My Cyclic Dharma project has its roots in this work. This is not about darkness. It is an awakening.
