Unfortunately, I am not a gifted enough writer to make you understand the pain that writing this book has caused me. The memories that it has evoked have severed my heart, time and time again. It has repeatedly opened doors in my mind that I thought had been closed forever. It has opened wounds that I had long since thought healed. I have often thought of it as a torpedo sent by the enemy to sink me once and for all. Of course, none of that is true. It is simply my life story and one that threatens to alienate the very few people that I still have in my life. Often, I've wondered why I ever began it in the first place. It has been the main reason why I have never finished The Legend of Souls Chapel Two. I have always felt that this book must be done before I could even consider another project. You see to write this book means to relive the painful memories in my mind. That is a price that has been more than I have been willing to pay most days. I sincerely apologize to my fans and to the hundreds of people who have approached me wanting to know when the book will be ready for publication. I am very pleased to announce that day is almost upon us. I realized that this crippling hold the book has had on me is just another way in which my enemies have had control of me and my life. I finally realize that I cannot allow that to happen, not again. Therefore, I have a renewed sense of vigor and vitality that has given me strength and will sustain me to fight this battle. I feel as though I have grown by leaps and bounds as a writer in the past few months and I hope that you will agree. I can promise you only one thing about this book. It WILL stir your emotions. When you've read this book you will never look at me the same again. The experience of writing this book has caused me to look at myself differently, to realize who I truly am as a human being. It will do the same to you. At times, I have been proud of myself, felt sorry for myself and yes, truth be told, ashamed of myself. It has often brought up the question of what kind of man I truly am. I will not attempt to answer that deep philosophical question right here, right now. I will simply leave it to you conscience after you read the book, that I believe will become to be known as the defining moment in my career as an author. TenderHeart is scheduled to be released on September 1, 2013. This time come hell or high water it will come to fruition. I sincerely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in my work. May God richly bless you and your family is my most earnest and humble prayer.
