Quotes

The point is taken....  Yes - if the words of the song justify the behavior they wish to practice but have been taught not to, they will wish to believe those words.  From there, it is only a very small step to persuade oneself that they are true.

Because they were real illusions....  Be sure, children - illusions can do as much harm as anything else in this world.  By clouding your perception of reality, illusions can kill.
Would the young folk so test those to whose words they hearken.  We should always question authority before we accept it.
Mayhap through over-familiarity.  We treasure least what we have known too long.
There are more miracles than we realize, then, for they are all about us, and need not be great and mighty.  Grace comes to all who are open to it; miracles hap in places far removed from fame.  'Tis only the few that catch the eye of mighty folk that do astound us all.

IF MUSIC BE THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE... ROCK ON!
Mysterious, floating crystals have captured the eyes - and ears - of the good folk of Gramarye, young and old alike.  Enchanting, yes.  But what exactly are these strange, musical rocks... and where did they come from?  From the past?  The future?  Or the magical minds of the people themselves?  Rod Gallowglass intends to find out - before his children sell their souls to rock and roll...

Author(s)

Christopher Stasheff  
Birth: 15 Jan 1944 Mount Vernon, New York, USA
Death: 10 Jun 2018 Champaign, Illinois, USA

Notes:
From the "About the Author" secton in Mind Out of TIme:

Christopher Stasheff (1944 - 2018) spent his early childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, but spent the rest of his formative years in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compromise by teaching college.  When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time.  He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.  He tended to prescript his life, but couldn't understand why other people never get their lines right.  This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children.  He seeks refuge in fantasy worlds of his own making, and hopes you enjoy them as much as he does.

Christopher died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease.  He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor.  His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
