About Blue Tiger Publishing:
An independent publisher, this site only publishes work for the creative writer, R.j. hOylE.
About R.j. hOylE:
Born during a full eclipse in 1925, 1948, 1982, and 2003, R.j. hOylE came back and forth into this world as an amalgam of one soul or another.
Never one to tread lightly on the planes of reality, hOylE spends time mostly in the ether collecting inspiration and tidbits that have fallen from sad stars and cranky angles. The Muses tend to slip in and out of consciousness and often forget to share their largesse, so hOylE takes great pains to nudge them awake whenever their limp forms collapse nearby.

Much obliged!
About the Site Name:
hexagram10Favicon: Chapter 10 Hexagram
• Blue Tiger Inspiration:
The name for the site, Blue Tiger Publications, is partially inspired by a chapter from the "I Ching: Book of Changes," chapter 10, "Lü -- Treading (conduct)" also known as, “Treading upon the tail of the tiger.”
IChing Translation: Richard Wilhelm & Cary F. Baynes Translation, 1950

• The Site's Logo & Favicon:
The inspiration for the design of the logo and for the favicon for this site (i.e., the little image that shows up in browser bookmarks) comes from the hexagram design used for the IChing's chapter 10. The way the lines are grouped and broken in each "I Ching" chapter hexagram has specific symbolism. So, the concept of horizontal lines also reflects ruled note paper, and this also fits the content of this site because every writer seeks to fill those endless lines.
• A Blue Tiger in Fiction:
An unrelated note, the magical realism author, Jorge Luis Borges, wrote a story titled, "Blue Tiger":

"It's in the eyes and heart of every writer to create what the hand can't see."
