'...Of course all kinds of opposites assail us in daily life and relationships, but I am thinking here of the antinomies of Logos and Eros, which is to say, the disparity between thinking and feeling. I have been a devoted acolyte of C.G. Jung for many years, and remain so. But I have also found my own voice in a genre that I accidentally invented with Chicken Little: The Inside Story, which I facetiously dubbed to be a "Jungian romance." This genre is not everyone's delight, but it is mine own. Subsequent books in a similar vein, like this latest volume in The Eros Trilogy, lead me to believe that there is a place for the romantic integration of Jung's ideas with the spectrum of Eros that is oriented to feeling-sensation values, rather than the rational, Renaissance perspective my generation was taught to revere.'
