The Muse

By Fred Warren

Description:

Stan Marino needs a muse.

Inspiration has found him, and it’s about to take over his life.
Ripped from reality, he must lead a band of lost souls in a life-or-death battle
with a merciless enemy.
Stan has found his muse, but will he survive it?

Book Takeaway:

On the one hand, this book warns us in humorous manner that sometimes it's better to look a gift horse in the mouth. On the other hand, it's a light-hearted reminder not to take everything so seriously.

Why the author wrote this book:

The Muse is about inspiration. If creativity is the vehicle that allows us to do great things, inspiration is the fuel that makes it run. In my story, we meet Stanley Marino, an aspiring writer who’s run out of inspiration. He’s hit a brick wall. We often say that someone in this situation “needs a muse,” or is “looking for his muse,” but in this case, Stan literally finds a muse and discovers that reality is a lot stranger, and more dangerous, than he ever imagined. What seems at first to be the solution to all his problems becomes a battle for his soul and for the lives of the people most dear to him.
