"Crossing Decembers" I found a copy of your novel on Wowio and enjoyed it immensely. It has one of the strongest opening paragraphs I've ever heard, a great name, and a very inviting concept. It seems to me to be a collage of blissful memory, not to mention well of great prose. Your language was rich (sometimes shockingly so), and never unreadable even during the more experimental sections of the book, and the structure had an almost stream of consciousness feel to it: like sitting outside watching the sunset, remembering life, reaffirming it. I was disappointed by the rather predictable ending, but I think the strength of this book lies in its glorification of memory (timeless moments that take a life and make it beautiful), and its glorious sense of the transcendent. At times it was almost painfully good.
