He publicado mi primera novela en Amazon: Tierra de sacrificios
Por fin, tras años de silenciosa maquinación, de correcciones infernales, de maquetaciones imposibles y de lecturas de prueba, mi libro, Tierra de sacrificios, llega al catálogo de Amazon.
Ya comenté por aquí hace tiempo el estado de mi proyecto y aproveché para compartir mis opiniones sobre la publicación y todo lo que ello conlleva. Hoy, sin embargo, voy a centrarme narcisistamente en el producto

“Now these ashes have grown cold, we open the old book.
These oil-stained pages recount the tales of the Fallen,
a frayed empire, words without warmth. The hearth
has ebbed, its gleam and life's sparks are but memories
against dimming eyes - what cast my mind, what hue my
thoughts as I open the Book of the Fallen
and breathe deep the scent of history?
Listen, then, to these words carried on that breath.
These tales are the tales of us all, again yet again.
We are history relived and that is all, without end that is all.”
― Gardens of the Moon

“Survivors do not mourn together. They each mourn alone, even when in the same place. Grief is the most solitary of all feelings. Grief isolates, and every ritual, every gesture, every embrace, is a hopeless effort to break through that isolation.
None of it works. The forms crumble and dissolve.
To face death is to stand alone.”

“A thousand other deaths, ' he whispered, so low that only Baruk and Rake heard him, 'would not have satisfied me. But I'll settle for this one.”
