Recently at least three of these once young teenagers have contacted me indirectly through Amazon by leaving reviews. One such teenager grew up, became an adult, eventually a parent, and had his young teenage child discover the book stored away in the attic of her home. And, amazingly if you ask me, never forgot about it. It's the 'something else' of late which caught my attention about this book.įorty years a few young teenagers bought the book-and fell in love with it. The publishers rejected the second book and told my that 'fantasy was slowly fading away' and they were looking to change their format.īut crying over dreams past is not why I'm writing this little diatribe. I was on my way to become the inevitably poor and infamous paperback writer. I just knew the second book in the series would be immediately picked up. I had defied the odds as a writer and had my novel pulled out of the proverbial slush-pile all traditional publishers seems to have and was published. Having a strange name, the locals find him-or to be more precise, he finds the locals and saves them from a terrible death-and they look upon him-mistakenly-as the long-prophesied return of their god of war. It was supposed to be the first of a multi-volume series featuring a human forcibly marooned on a planet by some powerful entity. Forty years ago my novel, Banners of The Sa'yen came out as a mass-market paperback.
