The publishing business is not above such tactics. Formulas, trends, networking, PHDs and famous names have more to do with selling a book than the book's message, originality or benefit to mankind. The world of books is awash with literary fast food. As a response to such mediocrity, small presses have sprung up, braced by a spirit of conviction in their fruits. These presses give writers, who draw their creative inspiration from a desire to heal and transform a physically and spiritually wounded world, the opportunity to bring forth books which are truly needed and wanted by readers.
Land is such a book.
The machinations of the humdrum commercial world are left far behind in this enchanting fable spun by Tiara, a wise spirit. Ancient in age, she wields her angelic powers against the negative and mechanical forces which entrap humankind in sleep and self-deception. At first, readers are puzzled by the simple and child-like usage of language by Tiara. Readers who know an original when they see one embrace this lovely and deceptively simple book for the gem it truly is. What we need collectively is for the spark of spirit in all of us to have the courage to recognize each other, hence our real selves.
