Prelude to a Change of Mind

This first novel of The Hidden Lands of Nod introduces all the themes and motifs that put fiction by Robert Stikmanz in a category apart: sly humor, an engaging cast, grand ideas, the magic of the ordinary, and mingled currents of eroticism and spirituality. In clear, beautiful language, Prelude to a Change of Mind blends fantasy, folklore and magical realism to evoke an entire universe through the events of a single season in a high mountain meadow. It's a small, remarkable book.
