Silas once talked about the importance of being well read and how my dear dad had prolly the largest library in the family. My parents definately instilled a love for reading in me from a young age. One i thibk they sometimes felt went too far as i was prone to losing track of time and reading instead of sleeping. Well i also recently learned an Official library is 1000 books or more. So thats one goal, especially since ive def read more than that already, i just dont own all the books ive reae. So i aim to take the title from my dad eventually. Heres the start of it with my 613 current books with more to come. Mostly sci fi, fantasy and history.

Its been awhile
Oh how so very much has changed. Perhaps this page has died. Perhaps some of you are still here if for no other reason than to remember Silas. Today is a hard day because it is the aniversary of the death of my dear friend and brother "The Wise Adventurer. 15 years have come and gone aince he departes on the next great adventure and it ia hitting hard this year. Combined with the fact that in just 26 days is the Anniversary of our beloved Dream God having returned to Dream, October is a hard month. Clearly im not as good as Silas was as keeping things updated but i will try to do better. Time will tell how successful we are in that.
So much has hapenned in recent years and Ive neglected this page. So an update. Yea i was previously married when Silas turned the page over to me, no that did not work out. Turns out she was an abusive manipulator and thats all that will be said regarding it. That Era has long since ended and im a far better person for it being gone.
I did meet someone else and she is absolute perfection. Its as if our dear dream god could see what was happening from beyond and thus sent me a dream of my own. We have been married for 2.5 years now and after a few years in the land of mouse we have returned to the hills not far from The Kingdom of Butterflies. A beautiful home and beautiful life. I believe I shall dub our new home New Ithaka since the title was passed to me from Silas and i wish to honor that.
Ive long sinced finish my first novel series which remains unpublished as of yet and am occasionally working on a new series which i believe is actually the better series. Ive grown up alot since writting the first and there are parts ill never be quite satisfied with tho my Queen has threatened me many a time that if i tey to change anything else shell give me a stern smack to the head because she loves what ive written. Her live of the work more than the threat has kept my fingers clear of the delete button lol.
If this post seems to skip around and be a bit disjointed we apologize because it is largely a stream of conscious writing by Phin and the rest are silent as far as written word is concerned to update everyone as well as to distract from the weight today is pushing upon me atm. From the moment i realized what day it was it shoved me deep into my own head about loss and missing those we wish were still here. In writing this amd in truth be told having spent many hours reading silas writting amd reminiscing on the good times with The Wise One and Silas, it has helped in part to alleviate the weight. There have been tears, some of loss but mostly of happy memories and times shared.
