The Sight
Page 46
That was a sad, but also rather remarkable story in itself, since another book I was writing seemed to confirm something of a real power of The Sight, in an example of what is to me proof of some kind of power of precognition, that suggests the mind is far more powerful than we think, or perhaps just as powerful as we really know it is.
Hence the birth though of Phoenix Ark Press, ‘the Storyteller’s Publisher’, built by writers, for writers and artists. The Phoenix is of course the mythical bird that rises from the ashes, the Ark a protective emblem, both for animals and perhaps animal storytellers too. It is a little cottage industry, but in that we hope to maintain something essential, in this world of frantic branding, and massive bestseller-led competition, a real respect for the writer’s craft, and a deep a love of story. I hope you will join the adventure, and share in some of our creations, but you can find us, now, at www.phoenixarkpress.com. There you will also be able to share, free, a serialized story as it’s written - Dragon in the Post. It would be wonderful to have you come along. DCD 2011
