"The Compass Society" addresses a number of things, quite subtly most of the time, that can apply to the fantasy world in which it's written, but also to the world around us. In this excerpt one man is being falsely accused of an event. Someone steps in on his behalf. An explanation is offered and a life lesson is given. See if you agree or disagree with the explanation and take a look at purchasing a copy of this book. I'd really appreciate it!
Book Excerpt
Compass Society
“There are many injustices in this world, Gary, and they usually see an outcome based on what happens from the rich and powerful stepping in and exerting their influence. In this case, the richer and more powerful just happened to be on your side. Had I not stepped in to vouch for your character and the misinformation of our young Cheryl, your life would have been a long and lonely one in jail.”
