At Last! Stealing Wings from an Angel is Finished!

I have 10,000 things I could say right now about the journey of publishing this book, but I’ll cut to the chase and say Stealing Wings from an Angel is now available in print for $11.50 from LuLu.com and I am elated!

Thank you for you all of your patience, and as I said before, it is worth the wait.


Back Cover Summary
In Stealing Wings from an Angel, Christian Cloud Abraham presents a collection of passages written during the period of his life when he broke away from his upbringing in the Bible cult, The Way International, and fell into a new world no longer protected by the people and ideas of the cult. From the first page you are whisked away from common reality and submerged into a Kafkaesque, turbulent, psychological landscape of a young man on the edge of losing his mind—and maybe even his life—as he battles for reconciliation between his preconceived ideas learned in the cult, and more rational ways of thinking. The story is told through a series of exhaustive and emotionally wrenching passages which blend the facts of his life with the fantasies and dreams erupting from emotional conflicts, reflections, and sentimental reveries for a past he knows he can never have again.

Stealing Wings from an Angel is not for the faint of heart as it is a story of suicide, destruction, and rebirth; but ultimately there are moments of profound beauty in the ugliness, and peace amongst the smoldering ashes.

If you think you can endure, join Christian Cloud Abraham as he falls to Earth.

The Secret Curse Surrenders

And don’t forget my other book, The Secret Curse Surrenders, available on iUniverse.

In the darkness, my muse has always been there for me. Ever shimmering in the distance, she’s guided me, tormented me, comforted me, seduced me, betrayed me, but ultimately forced me to take the steps forward into the abysmal darkness where the greatest secrets of life are discovered.

The Secret Curse Surrenders is the tale of one such journey though the darkness. Excerpted from my journals is an adventure of mind and soul told through fact, fiction and prose. This book is for those who love to go places they have never dared to go before and return with a boon to enrich their lives.


And as for the future…

I failed at writing more than about 3,000 words for NaNoWriMo but that’s okay, I succeeded at self-publishing another book and I know well enough now that life and learning is all about failing and making mistakes. I know I make more mistakes and fail more than I do succeed (as I like to chew off more than I can bite) and I am still living a great live so oh well…
I am longing to write again after all this publishing work, and if there is one thing I learned from the past few years, it is don’t give dates because my family comes first so I miss my personal deadlines frequently. With that, I will be back to writing and posting again soon… just not promising an exact date (but it will be in December).

Thank you for reading The Writing Machine, your enduring patience, and all the support I’ve received. As always, you are only a stranger here but once. Come back often and stay long.

Christian
