Contemplations on life, the nature of friendship and the various aspects of love and grief counterpoint verses reflecting on my pagan faith: a peek at the wheel of the year, interaction with the forces that share our world and the magic that is all around us.Fantastical pieces that embroider in places on classic supernatural themes. In amongst these are thoughts on mankind's almost pathologically destructive nature and our impact upon this planet.Sometimes humourous, sometimes solemn, occasionally both; a book of hope reflected.This second edition contains an additional twenty-two poems, plus two replacements - and one full version where the missing verses were found after the publication of the first edition. Julian's first loves were science fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. This led him to a love of speculative fiction, initially as a reader, then as a reader and writer.He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling. In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with the smallest complete role-playing system in the world).With over 30 books published in digital and physical formats, he has no intention of stopping this writing lark anytime soon, and he'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a book or two
