From the Author:
"INCUBUS" has given me the great opportunity to discover the inextricable fruits of my lineage, the mystic world of possibilities, the possible true realities of that world, and the consequences that evolve from the scenarios in that world.
As a writer there is more to embrace and overcome: with it comes criticism, the fear of rejection, and one must not forget, the agony of defeat. When I write, my biggest challenge is to maneuver myself through these.
For every shortcoming, there's a forthcoming, and the forthcomings are what I look forward to.
⎯C. L. Cropper
