Peace and Pencils. Hello. I am a writer with what I believe is a killer idea for a novel. Think of Merlin with an Issac Asimov twist. I am life long poet who suffers from severe book-nutery. I've always been fascinated with the occult and it is foundational to my story. This whole exercise is new to me and it is equally exciting attempting to write the book I've always wanted to read. I look forward to picking the brains of all the brilliant contributors here and wish everyone success in their endeavors. May peace and balance lead and follow you all.
