Christopher Moore – Michael's Place

The nature of the world

I’m sitting here at Whitefish Point watching the morning light as the sun is rising. It’s warmer that the past few days.

In this book there are the many historical figures such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung among othersContinue reading “Anima Rising”
