Visions of Blindness is the debut work of Bret W. Bodlovic, an author whose unique voice has been simmering for decades. Born from a Montana childhood that traded city life for wild rivers and endless mountains, Bret's imagination was forged in the chaos of nature, collegiate sports, and a scholarly dive into human psychology.

The quotes were pithy packets of wisdom expressed in eloquent verse and selected with a father's discerning eye: some prompt "aha" moments, others offer wit or dark humor, still others give moral insight.

But her appearance wasn't the only thing different about Abigail. In the blink of an eye, with a flash of silver, Abigail is able to lull others into a hypnotic state, essentially altering their personalities, replacing bad intentions with good ones.
