Dimitte Praeterita



Transitional life isn't for me...


I saw you long before you knelt


proclaiming the stay;


the way of it all




I stood corrected


stunned at the revelation


of you




To those in your extensive past


you were better served as a vague memory




To me


the strength provided


presented me with the future


one that would prove to be all encompassing




We ran straight into one another


fearlessly




Beauty radiates


not always where we'd expect


as I soon discovered


just after the rendition revealed itself




I'm often asked if I'd do it all again-


any regrets?


I've a few


however our pasts dictate who we become


to change that


alters the path




"Dimitte Praeterita"


Letting go, leaving things behind to forge ahead


learning


bruising


forgetting to believe


losing infinite hope


yet somehow persevering

Hopefully you've logged on to authorhouse.com and ordered your copy of the first book in the Pater Nostras series, The Garrison Effect. While the title had been switched (to Pater Nostras Canis Dirus) the first installment is well worth the read.


A great mind vacation...




Here's a clip from book two that may help enlighten you on the "why" in the title etc.




About the series:


"Pater Nostras Canis Dirus" or what is commonly referred to as "The Dire series" are a compilation of 10 novels.


Beginning with explanation of the title PNCD a latin reference to "our father (of) the Dire wolf".


This occurred by directive of my son Sage who desired definitive knowledge of werewolves, not the current lure resonating within the general population at large.


Hence birthed "The Garrison Effect", novel one.


This provided the first glimpse into the true origin of the (lycan) Dire as seen through Garrison Hastings eyes. We journey from the 1100's to present day, acquiring knowledge of all that it is Dire.


In the second installment, the novel "93 Kilometers to the better" we find the descendants of the original Dire realizing their destiny, thereby becoming wolf.


Old meets new.


The weave of this tale begets action in both Texas and amongst the Highlands of Scotland. Join us, quench your thirst for the knowledge...


feed your hunger with the tell, the unprecedented insight into the lives that had previously only existed in the shadows...


Learn what it is to be Dire...


Feel the exhilaration of immortality


the immense power...
