The Frozen Sand Glass is something new, a vision that only one can dream of. Interesting and quite entertaining at that. Intriguing characters too. I must say where have you been all these years..Or have I missed something. Talk about not being selfish releasing free content, Whoa! What are you doing, millions can be made from your concept. Can I have a role in the movie if you decide to make one, please…….. :)
P.S. Love the title it’s a real catch for sure…..
Just a quick note about Michael’s generous comments. The Frozen Sand Glass is a subscription site, not actually a free site. However we have given out a number of free lifetime memberships since we first launched on July 22nd 2009. So on one hand yes it is free to some, on the other hand it is indeed a for-profit venture.
Oh yeah, it’s becoming more captivating my sixteen year old daughter and twenty year old nephew loves when I read “The Frozen Sand Glass” to them. They’re stuck on Avram, my nephew wants the chancellor’s aircraft as a toy……
Although I don’t have a membership my boyfriend reads it to me.
I love it, Beverly
