I'm pleased to announce that my novella, The Ice Mine, is now available for pre-order from the Whisk(e)y Tit website.
I'm really grateful to my editor Miette for all her hard work and for her faith in my writing. It took me until the age of 47, but it's a great feeling and worth the wait! Please consider ordering a copy or even two; books are great gifts and supporting independent publishers is important, self-interest aside!

Description
Ric Bream was a happily married college professor
with two adoring children. But wounds from the past left him restless,
weakening his will against the lure of the poppy. As Ric’s addiction
gained momentum, his career and marriage collapsed. Alone and restless,
Rick attempts detox at home. After weeks of hallucinations and
nightmares, he comes out clean. Now he must struggle to stay that way,
in a futurist society whose priorities conflict with his values.
Wrestling with boredom and lacking a sense of purpose, Rick sifts
through his belongings, stumbling upon an old collection of books: the
relations of crackpot explorers and madmen who have searched in vain for
a mysterious society dubbed, “The Ice Mine.”
The books reawaken Ric’s interest in searching
for the Ice Mine, a place of questionable existence, accessible only
along a treacherous path fraught with deadly enemies—a trail blazed by
alleged lunatics and liars. Follow Ric on his journey of mind, body, and
soul as he encounters exquisitely detailed mythical landscapes
inhabited by never-before-seen creatures, deadly forces of nature, and
lurking sinister presences. Will facing his inner demons as he struggles
to survive his journey lead Ric to the fabled Shangri-La or something
else entirely?
