End Comments

This book begins the last of the three trilogies concerning Arduin. The next two books are, tentatively (!) titled "The Winds of Chance" and, perhaps, "End War". A lot remains to be done on these works but, never fear, I am certainly up to it. My health has improved somewhat since my heart failure last February and I am now able to, once again, devote my full time to writing. Knowing that the doctors have "set a time limit/deadline" on how long my heart will still be able to function has given me a new and wondrous insight into life, love and the world(s) in general.

Now I eagerly await the completion of my last two Arduinian works (hopefully in the next twelve months) and know they (as are they all) will be fitting guide posts to leave behind for all of you who follow in my footsteps into the golden dream that has been, and ever shall be, ARDUIN.

Please feel free to send my any suggestions you might have s to what you'd like to see in the last two tomes. Believe me, I am always happy to rad what you have to say. Who knows, you just might find yourself "immortalized" in their pages. So, do it, don't be shy.

Finally, I'd like to give my love to Brigitt one more time. She has made a bad year good again. Mahal na mahal kita my asawang.
