A Far Cry

What is all around you? What do your senses perceive? From everything you've experienced, or heard that others have experienced, what do you believe is the reason things are as they are at this very moment? What warms your heart, what makes you grieve, be angry, feel helpless, hopeful ... Suppose things could not be otherwise and, simultaneously, every other possible way. How encompassing is your imagination? How free can it be? -Christopher Herold If you haven't read Christopher Herold's first novel, Ghosts of the Chalone, I truly envy your being able to immerse yourself in its heart-stopping, spirit-lifting adventures for the first time. Warning: a cloud will never again be just a cloud; a person, a person ... not necessarily. For fans of Ghosts who have been eagerly anticipating its sequel, I have good news: A Far Cry, the second volume of the author's planned trilogy, is here! -Chuck Brickley
