The Silver Horn Echoes: A Song of Roland
Well, lot's of changes since I've written last. I admit that keeping up with a blog can be a daunting task, particularly when working full time at a job that brings me great satisfaction as well as writing in my free time. And free time has been short of late.
Yet there is progress... beginning with a new novel, The Silver Horn Echoes: A Song of Roland. This has been a labor of love for me. You see, the Song of Roland has been with me since I was very young. My grandfather, a sailor in the Danish merchant marine, came to this country as a young man. And he determined he would be more American than the Americans. To a young man from rural Denmark, this meant finishing his education and becoming well read. This meant that as a youth, our house was always filled with grandpa's books on mythology, important events, folklore, etc. My favorite read? A translation of Song of Roland.
So here I am, full circle with Roland and his Peers, having written a feature film that became my first Hollywood option and now a novel based on that script and inspired by the Chanson de Roland. Speaking for my writing partner and myself, we hope you enjoy the book. The cover art is gorgeously executed by Jordan Raskin, a talented Los Angeles based artist who has also done some concept work on other projects I'm involved with.
Stay tuned for more announcements, a new website and much more!
