Between The Lines In The Literary Adventure About To Be Released This September
.
I’ve always thought that a dynamic plot is the most essential requirement for any book, a story that holds our attention from cover to cover. All I’ve ever asked those people who’ve read Shadows From The Sun is whether they enjoyed this literary/fantasy/adventure and thought it a page turner to the very end.
In fact, many have read the book more than once because they quickly realized there were other meanings between the lines, hidden references and allusions that gave greater depth to the narrative — if only they could figure them out.
Of course, it all depends on what the reader is looking for. My main goal has always been to tell a story that holds people’s attention, challenges their fears, opens their heart and piques their curiosity. I just added another dimension for those who like to hunt for buried messages.
So here’s a start with Shadows From The Sun. Some answers are obvious, some less so. None interfere with the story. Previous readers have told me aspects I never considered. Others have different interpretations to my own. It doesn’t matter. The book is meant to be a personal exploration.

Carl Jung – What was his interest in shadows, and what does that mean in the book?
The Cave – Is it really just a cave?
Character Names – Do names reveal more about their identity?
The Crossing – The river? The tree? – Is this just a simple swim?
Left? Right? – Does direction matter?
The Paths – Are they more than ways to get around?
Plato – What is his reference, and what does it mean in the story?
Shadows – Are they more than light and darkness?
Sipahpu – Not to be confused with Sipapu, New Mexico. But what’s the connection?
