first of all, I know for a fact that Joshua and his friends are preparing several great new entries in the blog. Wind will speak about her adventure, the prelude to Joshua's story, which happened 1000 years prior to the arrival of our heroes in Hollow's Gate. It will shed light on Wind's story and how she learned to let go of her limitations and learned to fly. Pegasus foals go through years of rigorous training before they can make the long pilgrimage up the dreaded and feared circular Path Of No Return, along the walls of Hollow's Gate, passing through the gate of time, to strengthen their resolve to eventually let go of their limitations and learn how to fly. This will be either book two or three, depending on which one is done first. Aries, our heroine from the sequel of Joshua's journey, which is set 1000 years after Joshua's adventure, will have some insights into what will be happening in her story. The entries will appear in the next couple of weeks.
On another note, it has been very busy here at "The Three Feathers" headquarters. There are many book stores to visit, book signings to set up, author's days to plan. No rest for scribes, right? I have been working on a letter to Barnes & Noble to see if Joshua's journey can be available in their stores. Would be awesome, don't you think? Here is what I came up with for a synopsis of the story, as part of the letter to them:
The
hero of this magnificent story is Joshua Aylong, a rooster. Joshua lives a relatively
comfortable life amongst the hens and chicks of his flock, protecting them from
predators, settling their quarrels and calling out each new day at precisely
4:45 AM – until one night when he has a dream about three feathers somewhere deep
inside a mountain. The dream stirs something inside him; something he can neither
explain nor even fully grasp. He just knows that despite his fear and his sense
of foreboding and of danger, he has to go out and find them.
And
then one day, when the call to adventure becomes unbearable to him, when the bleakness
of his existence grows to be too much to endure, he collects all his courage, pushes
away his doubts, jumps up to the highest perch inside his pen and, to the
amazement of the other chickens, spreads his wings and flies out. If Joshua
would have known what awaited him, the magnitude of his leap into freedom, he might
have stayed and therefore not endured all the hardships, the danger, the
perilous quest and the overwhelming force of evil he was about to encounter.
But he also would not have found the magnificent friends he made on his journey.
And he certainly would not have found the one he was destined to meet all along.
More soon. Keep your fingers crossed and your mind open. And (I'm channeling Joshua now) watch your dreams. Always watch your dreams.
Very best wishes,
Stefan
