Evil is never so dangerous as when we ignore its presence in our own hearts! Thank you, Reiko, for such an insightful comment.Roland D.

Thank you very much."<br /><br />The tale, LIES LOCUST TELL, is told through the eyes of a fallen angel -- it forced me to tell it as lyrically as I could to approximate the alien perspective of an angelic being who had seen so much and lost even more.<br /><br />I think you will one or two answers along the way. I hope you enjoy the interior illustrations at least! :-)<br /><br />Roland D.

I just purched his latest book and am really looking forward to reading the stories in it. I am sure it will cast more light on his characters and answer a few of the questions I have been wondering as well. I can not imagine how he has time to accomplish so much and do it so well.<br /><br />Sorry I missed your Mico fiction this month. I put up the banner on my site so as not to forget next month.

So many these days have problematic relations with both parents.<br /><br />(Waves back at you!) Kathy did do a great job at interviewing, didn't she? By the way, I loved your reviews of my books.

I've got two more TBR next. <br /><br />Aside from liking his writing (I'm a sucker for the dialogue and reparte of the literaries: Hemingway, Twain, Wilde et al, the plots in the background keep me turning pages. All my faves are there fighting the battles or offering commentary. <br /><br />(waves at Roland) Nice to know more about you Roland. Those of us who had these beautifully sensitive mothers who showed us the mysticism in life were very lucky.
