""This Quest For That Final Horizon"" was written over a 15 year period from 1999-2014; It's about real people and real situations, none of it is about or inspired by fiction. Topics like salvaging friends, urging someone who is hurting to open up about their pain, trying to escape our own guilty conscious, letting go of someone we love because we know in our hearts that life with them will stop progressing forward and accepting that the people who have deeply wronged us, sometimes, will never give an explanation are just a few examples of the topics explored in this collection that has been praised by published authors such as Richard Van Camp (The Lesser Blessed) and David Malcolm (Pine Cones and Small Stones). There was not an intention or effort to have anything come across as sophisticated, complex or accomplished - but rather familiar, understood, and even soothing.
