I Writed Another Book!

After many years of fruitful procrastination, I’m proud to announce the release of the third and final Volume in The One Book series: The Book of the Created. My wife, she says she likes the new book. And she’s better at judging my work than I am, so you should listen to her and buy it. The Book of the Created is available for purchase as a paperback or ebook at the finest of online retailers.

Quotes by Robert Boyczuk (?)

“But one of the great tragedies of life is that you cannot force people to read what they ought, as good as it might be for them.
- Roland Gardner
"Query”

“It is not those who are unashamedly evil that we need fear the most, for their intentions are plain; rather, our fear should be reserved for those equivocators who would allow evil to flourish, and name it good so they might sleep better at night.”
― Robert Boyczuk, The Book of Thomas
