The mind of a beholder is powerful and versatile enough that it can envision literally any possibility, and it prepares accordingly, making it virtually impossible for any invaders to catch it unawares. A human chess player becomes a master by honing the ability to look several moves ahead during a game-which is still no match for what a beholder can accomplish with its superior intelligence and awareness. For instance, where a prideful, confident human might be cowed by a serious threat, the arrogance of a beholder knows no such bounds: it believes that it is superior to every other creature, even including other beholders. Some of the behaviors and motivations that beholders exhibit are analogous to those of humans and other intelligent creatures. Inside the comfortable confines of its subterranean lair, a beholder is nearly unassailable thanks to the combination of its peerless intellect and the brutal effects of its eye rays. These bizarre creatures are possessed of alien intelligence, inhuman forms of perception, and the ability to shape reality through force of will-or even by their mere presence. I want them to realize a persons intrinsic value has nothing to do with social class.To those who would seek to conquer beholders or merely understand them, nearly everything about their quarry is unfathomable. I want Eye of the Beholder to take readers inside my characters hearts and minds so they will take an honest look at whether they show favoritism to people of higher social standing. That in the deepest part of our souls, well embrace the depth of what it means to be believers and then be moved to share its powerful simplicity with those who struggle without hope. After all the suspense is said and done, my hope is that each story will give us pause. I turn my fingers loose and get inside the characters and instinctively know where I need to go. For me, the most intriguing aspect of my writing style is that I dont plan and outline the stories. "My novels dont come to me ahead of time each book flows off the tips of my fingers as I sit down and begin to feel the issues deep inside myself. This visit to Seaport will change your life." Then it took a twist that both delighted and convicted me. " Eye of the Beholder enticed me from the first page with familiar and beloved people. Filled with unexpected twists, Eye of the Beholder held me captive until the very end." "As if pulled from todays headlines, this novel touches on the fear that overtakes a town when rumors of terrorists are afoot.
