Descrizione

This omnibus chronicles the search of my voice as an author. Storytellers never simply pop out of the ground fully-formed. Just as a tree needs a solid base to grow from, exploring roots in search for nutrition in all directions, so does a writer.

The book is composed of four parts:
1. The Reflection Collection (The Elemental Series + The Jane Pinkerton Chronicles)
2. The Tales Untold Collection
3. The Zoobadoo Zoo Short Story
4. The Seasons Of Love Collection

CHAPTER 1: THE ROCK AND THE HEW

By Leonard J. Roseburg

My life began in a puddle on the cobblestone street, my size and weight that of three small stones. My birth was merely an uncomfortable distraction, the side effect of meeting too many men down the blanket and drinking too much ale. I was underfed, cold, and lonely laying on the cobblestone.

One by one, people passed me by, denying my basic existence, up until an ordinary Sculptor, with a heart as big as the stones he worked on, took me to his house.
