The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

SecularSacred and Nonsense

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

The Immemorial Age















Some say this is not the immemorial age
Of fantasy; no wisps of smoke, no ivory turrets,
No crabbéd dwarf, no lumbering troll.
Beneath their bridge the faerie light is dark
The inexplicable explained, if only outwardly.

The crabbéd dwarf still walks by my mental elven bridge
Where waits the troll, Ein pfennig, ein pfennig,
Still laughs the gnome, ein pfennig, ein pfennig,
Still wisps the smoke around the bone white turrets
Some still live what others have forgotten.
