Stepping into worlds that I am the first to see, and meeting those who live there before all others, is a joy unlike anything else I’ve experienced. As a writer, I attempt to share this joy with an invitation to others. Thanks to those who have accepted the invitation.
Why do I write? Simply, I am drawn to shining a light on the human condition...without judgment, light pierces the darkness and is freeing. It allows us to explore what it is to be human.

#1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Literature Fiction-
"... a compelling and engagingly written story of friendship, the word used to describe a long, slow process of enlightenment as well as a term applicable to the process of healing and learning to make sense of life. Spanning twenty-five years, and centered around a secluded spot of inspiration, Cutting of Harp Strings is a strongly recommended and emotionally moving saga." — James A. Cox, editor-in-chief, Midwest Book Review. "In Cutting of Harp Strings, E.G. Kardos continues to show a creative imagination, a wicked sense of humor and a depth of characterization. — Jay Strafford, retired books editor, Richmond Times-Dispatch. "... one of the most powerful stories of friendship I've read in a while. The interchanges between Eli and Gabe remind me of the relationship between the main characters in my book Floating Twigs... Cutting of Harp Strings is a poignant reminder of the true meaning of friendship and how the search for ourselves is never-ending. Read it; you won't regret it." — Charles Tabb, author, Floating Twigs "If you enjoy a read that makes you think, really think, about the important questions of one's life, this story is for you. An inward journey set in a very real world. Great characters that evolve, but never in a straight line, like life itself, their journey meanders with twists and turns, surprises and disappointments. If you are looking for a book that when you put it down you sit quietly and ponder, then give this book a try." — Roy Dimond, author, Silence and Circumstance "... a bit like "Dead Poets Society" but with more grace. This is warm, human, and gentle, a fine coming-of-age novel. Kardos' descriptive powers will have you living what he describes as two friends trek through the forest to a waterfall which will eventually consume one of them. A joyful, tearful, novel." -- V.L. Stuart, author, Orb & Arrow "evocative and visual" --a reader "I must admit, I felt I was there with Aiden and Eli. I traveled the difficult road with them, and felt Eli's loss." --retired teacher of English Literature
