PRESENTING
Bardo is an honesty merchant, the only one he knows. He plies his trade to heal the misguided with the experience of honesty.
In a town rumored as The Town of Make-Believe, full of secrets and mysteries, he's got a lot of work to do for what he thinks is another cult of deception.
However, the town may have one too many secrets for Bardo. And the one secret that Bardo has may not be enough to save him this time.
“There's a fine line between living and lying.”

Writing Notes
#1 - Do Your Research!
Research leads to surprising synchronicities, connections between the fictional and the real, and richer reading experiences. Research also enhances the creation experience, like getting your hands in to the clay. Tough work and very satisfying.
