What do you think about that?
Wondering about the title to this post?
Edith Hamilton wrote of Aeschylus, a long deceased friend of Lucanus:
"He was, first and last, the born fighter,
to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success.
Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens.
The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory."
Those words fit both Lucanus and Captain Samuel McCord ...
and if we are worthy as authors, they might one day prove true of us.

YAY! I am first again. What fun!
ReplyDeleteHI, Roland.
YOUR COVERS ARE AMAZING! STUNNING! Definitely gets my attention.
Thanks for the info on what cover attracts which audience. Covers are SO important. A visual is ALWAYS the first thing a potential reader sees.
What can I say, I am in awe. Good luck with your Amazon numbers. I will be posting your free download as soon as I finish writing this to you.
Posting a bit late today, but I was just too tired last night to do it. Reacclimatizing back to my Chicago life is taking a lot longer than I had expected. Especially with my new INSANE schedule. lol.
