In the 2009 Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel contest, The Garden at the Roof of the World was a Semi-finalist. The award was a review of the full novel by publisher's weekly. This is what they had to say about the novel:
A sprawling, advantageous effort similar to, and obviously inspired by, Tolkien’s “Lord of Rings” series as well as the “Narnia” books, this massive fantasy tale relates the journey of a group of young women as they search for the mystical garden at the center of the world. Gwenaella, Adelie, and Elise are brought together by a unicorn named Britomar to reach the garden in hopes of securing the fruit from the Tress of Life to save the eldest unicorn from death. Along the way there are otherworldly encounters with ogres, griffins, and a nasty battle with the mythical Yeti in a tension-filled conclusion. The author carefully mixes historical fact with well-crafted mythology. As long-winded as the chapters can be at times, the characters are fairly original; though, they do often come in the form of kings, queens, and princes who dominate stories of this genre. As a whole, this is a solid mystical adventure that will interest readers from start to finish with its likable protagonists and constant twists and turns.
No longer long winded, come inside and learn more about The Garden at the Roof of the World.
Or perhaps you came here for background information on The Hacker of Guantanamo Bay If so, just click and enter the near future, where Sorcer3r, a hacker imprisoned for terrorism under the US Patriot Act, returns to seek his revenge.

I am a formally trained anthropologist who has found employment as a computer security architect. They are relevant to each other, honest. I write poetry, and have experimented with both narrative poems and prose narration. While a somewhat devout Roman Catholic, I try to follow a more spiritual path. The Garden at the Roof of the World started as a bed time story for my daughters, and has become very much a story for adults. The Hacker of Guantanamo Bay is very much a story for adults.
