Splendor Dazzles In Vain

The history of a book.
From inception to completion.
And, the struggles in-between.

At an earlier time, while writing The Law and The
Eagle, the story became entangled in nearly all
aspects of my life. I was a prisoner to my own
making, from master to slave. There was no way
out; no speedy fix and I could not push it aside. I
was captured by the characters I created and felt
morally obligated to honor their existence. As I
researched historical facts and blended together the
real with the unreal the story took on a spiritual
nature, and I questioned… What if I'm not making it
up, and it's all true? For that reason the story had
to be told. Or else, splendor dazzles in vain.
