THE LIGHT BEHIND BLUE CIRCLES
From the very first scene right through the very last page, The Light Behind Blue Circles takes the reader on an incredible journey through a mysterious land. DeMayo's eloquent writing and detailed descriptions made me feel like I was right there on the African continent experiencing this adventure first hand. The story is intriguing and the characters are likable and fascinating - both the main ones and the array of secondary characters that are met along the way.

RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE ROAD
Snakebite - a dream
A quiet path,
Just off the street,
A snake darts out,
Its fangs sink deep.
I fall to Earth,
My spirit cries,
I saw the hood,
I saw the eyes.
The Cobra whispers,
“Shiva’s near”
And I gasp for air,
Overcome with fear.
The poisons’ rush,
My senses reel,
My body’s numb,
I cannot feel.
“I will not quit!”
“I will not die!”
I tell myself,
“I will survive.”
Then all grows dim,
I’m far away,
But I won’t let go,
I fight to stay.
I hear soft whispers,
A serpentine hiss,
But I’m too confused
To make meaning of this.
And then I’m back,
Though weak and sore,
I thank the Earth
For one day more.
