What it's all about

I remember hearing the song "This Little Light of Mine" as a child, but rarely thinking about what it meant. All I knew was that I was supposed to let it shine. But what was this "light", and how was I supposed to let it "shine".

As an adult, I've written a fiction book, a book that has a lot to do with light. In fact, light is probably the most significant element to my book. Most of the characters lack it, some have it and don't realize it, others misuse it, and still others (a very few) understand how powerful it can be in a dark world. And the world in Forsaken Kingdom - City of Prophecy, has become a dark place.

Weather or not the heroes of this world manage to conquer the darkness with the light is not for me to tell you here - I'd prefer you buy the book to find that out ;) But as I continue to blog (and I'll try to blog a new item at least once a week) I'd like to chronicle some of the ways I've been trying to shine "my" light in a dark world and in my hometown of Alliance, Ohio, as well as ways other's I know or have heard of shine their lights. And what is this light? And how do we let it shine? Well, I'll try to get to that through some real life stories rather than answering directly what most of you already know.
