Little promo thing that I'm putting in the eBook version of the first, but the art in there is of the cover my wife did. She told me "I can do better if you TELL ME it's a book cover before I do the art." (Because I didn't before.)

That's cause my wife is crazy detail-oriented. If I'd done it, I would've just scribbled all over and said "This is the real deal!"

I can't help but see that red face as someone's bum in a bikini bottom.

You cannot go home.

Ahead you’ll find a forest, where a girl lies about a party to feed a monster and a hunter’s sickly son swears he’s seen an evil shadow. To the left you’ll see the cities, where one lord advises a family to move a mountain and another pleads for a king to kill a strange elephant. To the right you may spot a desert where the phoenix searches for love and a magical goat searches for something to eat. Above you might notice a great, dark cloud and the people soaring into it, or the river of light that dips into a special watering hole.

You may think you can turn around and head back the way you traveled, but your way would be blocked by the bodies, some killed by plague and others chopped apart by a madwoman’s axe. On this path, you may find these sights and more, but you will not find a way back.

This path cannot lead you home.
A Path Far Away is available now on the Kindle for $2.99 and on Amazon.com in paperback for $7.99.

Cover art and interior illustrations by Julie Fabia.
