Themes & Symbolism edit see section history

• FREEDOM: The truth shall set you free! Crows Hill is the first book released in the Dark Seeds series. It focuses on the struggle to gain and keep freedom. Whether it's fighting to break free from internal issues, or breaking the external bindings that imprison you, there will always be a price to be paid for freedom's sake, and there will always be a continual fight to keep it once found.
• NWO Symbol: There are two on every cover in my series. They're scattered throughout its pages. It's the symbol I created for the New World Order in the Dark Seeds novellas. Have you taken a really good look at it? Have you studied it? What do you see in that symbol? Anything? It's all around you now. Watch the television. See the movie stars doing it. The entertainment industry and musicians are going crazy with it. It's not a new fad, it's been around for a very long time. It's not 2031, like in my books, but too many people proudly make a triangle with their hands and look through it with one eye. Why? What does it mean? I created the triangular symbol for my story for a reason, but you'll have to wait for the third volume in the series to learn the answers to these important questions. In the meantime, study the symbol, do your homework, and see what you can find hidden in plain sight. Before you know it, you'll see it everywhere in the real world... right now.

Authors & Contributors edit see section history

1. L. M. Fields (Author) - According to what I recently learned, I am a Indie Author now. I'm proud to be part of a group of writer's trying to reach their dreams on their own. Whoever told you life was easy lied. For me, it's not a matter of if my dreams will become a reality, it's only a matter of when, and my seizures can do nothing more than slow me down. I have a blessed life that I love so very much. I hope all I do will shine like an inspiration to others because anything is truly possible. Live, learn, and leave a beautiful mark.

Other Contributors:

1. Linda Fields (Cover Artist) - I ran my Motion Graphic Design and Computer Artistry business, Medallion Graphics, for almost ten years before deciding to peruse my passion for writing seriously. Once an artist, always an artist. I can't stop creating and won't. Now I use my imagination to create the cover art and more for my stories. It's a wonderful break when editing drives you crazy.
2. Spark Inspire Publishing House (Publisher) - When you decide to become an Indie Author (self-publish), then you must take on all the responsibilities that other authors who have agents don't have to worry over. In my opinion, second to having a professional looking cover that demands attention, you must put your writing aside to work feverishly to market your work. You may or may not get the results. It feels like a shot in the dark but you can't expect more from yourself when you work hard. Spark Inspire Publishing is the company I created to represent myself as I stepped into this new world like a baby taking her first steps. The writing for my first book began January 2012, the rest began in April when the book was ready to hit the market. I've been learning ever since. WOW! Is my goal, and I'm willing to work however long I need to until I reach it, and I'll continue to work hard to keep it.
