U.S. NAVY SEAL SERIES
A writer invites a reader to enter a dream. This craft blends invitation, seduction and magic. What a writer labors over for days can be consumed by a reader in moments. That compressed presentation of reality grants writing value and potency. As origami of the word-craft unfurls in a reader’s mind, that reader starts to see the writer’s dream. The notion of a “page-turner” suggests the book will vanish. The objective world encircling a reader can also fade. The reader’s mind becomes a screen upon which the dream of the writer projects, to near-exclusion of all else. Achieving this is a privilege.
The ancients believed dreams arrived in our objective, substantial world through one of two gates, either of carved ivory, or of polished horn. Dreams drifting toward us through that opaque, ornate portal of ivory were regarded as insubstantial, useless. Those coming to us through the gate of lucent horn were seen as practical portents, with a durable aspect of truth.
I aim to send you dreams through the gate of horn.
