I've discovered a new series. If anyone reading this a fan of the "epic fantasy" story, (think Lord of the Rings), you need to go to your library right now and check out these books.

Take LotR, add realistic characters, add the darkness and complexity (but cut back the gore) of Saw, a good dose of Heinlein's "World as Myth", a huge bucket of karma, an amazing world and you've got something like the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. I'm not sure what it is about these books, but they draw you in and make you care. I have not been able to put these down since I picked them up. So if your tired of the Tolkien clones, cop-out endings (*cough* Deathly Hallows *cough*), and kid table fluff (not that fluff isn't fun, but it does get boring) this is the series for you. ((Btw, If you've ever tried to refute "fantasy is for kids" argument, this is a good one to look into.))

In other news, this is kind of a long winded explanation of why my ink drawings haven't gone back up. They are coming... as soon as I finish "The Wounded Land".

You're welcome. I have a feeling they'll end up in my writing at some point, so I wanted to remember what they look like.
