I’ve posted all three preludes to this novel during Rainbow Snippets. Here’s the first six sentences from the ambient fantasy novel I’ve struggled years to finish, which I’m currently learning how to self publish.

It’s the first of a series of novels inspired by Tarot card imagery. The second book is The Hand and the Eye of the Tower. The third is A Godling for Your Thoughts?
