I have been doing the final edit on Rooms, and Greg Opalinski, who will be doing the cover design and artwork for the novel, has been working hard on the cover. It's been fun working with him, and I'm more excited every day about seeing the finished cover.
Rooms will be published on Amazon in a few weeks. I'll let you know on this blog when it happens.

Poem
(Cain)
The Candle Flame
The calm
The music plays
Meditative, ancestral
thoughts
Oh soft, luxurious flame
Reminiscent of wind
Who is speaking
Even closing my eyes
A candle flame
The candle flame
The calm
In a candle flame
Casting warmth on the
walls
In a darkened room
The music plays
The mind wanders
The candle
Constantly confined
Yet serenely there
With me
Meditative, ancestral
thoughts
Pervade and pause
In truth
Oh soft, luxurious flame
Oh round, aspiring flame
Oh small, pinpoint in the
night
Take my soul
Take me
To the other side
Yet teach this side
Of existence
Reminiscent of wind
Of rain
Of dark
Of a moonlit night
In a forest
As your glow seeks out
My eyes
Reflecting back to someone
Who is speaking
Through the flame
Casting knowledge
Hope
Universal truths
While lying there
Just a fingertip away
Beyond my corporeal reach
Even closing my eyes
I see you there
With me
Surrounding me
Guiding me
Home
A candle flame
A hearth fire
Wood crackling
In a rock hewn wring
A tree with soft lights
At Christmas
The twinkling of windows
From a city
The soft glow in her eyes
As she smiles
The candle flame
Is
That peaceful place
I will understand
Someday
