Well, I decided to provide an interesting link from KurweilAI.net Weekly Newsletter, because the link is titled: "How to create a large-area visible light-invisibility cloak". Since Fishing for Light is a satire, obviously, I was having a bit of fun creating Professor Quan's Skin Sensor machine that he used to alter his appearance, as in the last chapter when he appeared a lot like a Colonel Sander's like character hanging out at a General Beauregard's 24-Hour Fried Chicken restaurant waiting Continue Reading
Warm Socks
After a mild springtime storm, as her mother watched from behind the kitchen window, a young girl with a long blond ponytail sat on the first step for the home's back wooden porch. She slipped on her rain boots over her colorful socks. She forged into the sun splashed backyard, and down a moist dirt path into the family’s lush green garden while clutching her empty pale. She bent down, and disappeared beneath the dense foliage to carefully inspect the twisted, interlocked life sustaining Continue Reading
Dear Frank,
Dear Frank, Now that I have, with some nudging from my British digital marketing friends, set-up a personal Facebook page and an authorship page under my ‘nom de plume’ Nathaniel Sewell - of which - I am certain Nostradamus foretold within one of his many quatrains that it would be a sign for the coming Apocalypse of Facebook or any sort of social media site. “Beware of the pasty-white middle-aged scribe, He doth lurk amongst the organized modern light that binds humanity together, He Continue Reading
Big Blue – ‘Reverse Laettner’ Groundhog Day – 18 Again
Today, April 6, 2014 – the Texas Sun is (hiding behind thunder clouds, but I know where the ‘Thunder’ comes from, and it’s named, Alex), the birds are (still) chirping (seriously) and our canine friend, Pink Petunia is tongue waggling after (another) (well, it’s her morning constitutional – so she can lose a pound the old fashioned way, and I get to clean up her – ‘bid-ness’) from a delightful neighborhood walk – but this time in (Houston)). Last night, (as I watched with my quiet, shy wife Continue Reading
Big Blue (hair) – ‘Reverse Laettner’ Groundhog Day
Today, March 31, 2014 - the Texas Sun is shining, the birds are chirping (seriously) and our canine friend, Pink Petunia is tongue waggling after (another) delightful neighborhood walk - but this time in (Austin). Last night, my government funded state school that I actually graduated from - won (another) hard fought victory. Of course, it would seem my business degrees are not worth much per a certain ESPN talking-head, but I will ‘let it go’ into the negative trash heap comment section. And Continue Reading
Sometimes, magic happens!
Sunday, I watched my college basketball team - compete. Before, I watched them - compete - in truth, I had resolved in my tiny brain that they were going to lose. I mean, all the talking-head 'experts' thought the other team would win. It did not matter that my short, pasty-white self would not in anyway effect the outcome. It did not matter that the modern taping device, the DVR - would allow me to fast forward through the endless erectile dysfunction, newest hypersonic auto, and low-calorie Continue Reading
Where have you gone, Martha Quinn?
Well, the good news is as we all collectively orbit the Sun, we are now along the relative position for Spring, and I would not dare let this opportunity pass to express that clearly Prosperina has emerged from her time in Hades with her husband, Pluto. I know these Greek and Roman myths can be a bit confusing, and pesky to understand, but today I feel a certain kinship with Prosperina. Now in my novel, Fishing for Light, Ms. Prosperina is a nasty, shape-shifting Chimera that intends to take Continue Reading
Did Satire die, and no one told me?
I am curious it the genre, satire, has died? I am bummed, I was not told this fact. And if so, I think it is a sad state of affairs when an odd, wacky story with a deeper meaning, no longer has any cache, and alas, we are collectively left with entertainment that is simply 'bubblegum for the mind'. Therefore, I lift my coffee mug in the air, and express my hearty thanks as funny thought experiments sail away into the poetic mists, and we are left with the common comment that defines our modern Continue Reading
Nude Photos
Well then, I guess we have learned today that the truism, 'sex sells', is in fact, true. I know, you had to find out! But there is nothing to be embarrassed about, it is within our primal genetic structure that we have to 'look', or just be 'curious', right? At least, for most of us, our knuckles do not drag in the dirt, or do they? I think my next novel will need to be a full on, crude as I can create it - satirical romp. But the key will be the book title ... my first thought for a Continue Reading
My Worst Writing Fear
I got the question, 'What is your worst writing fear?' As a storyteller, I don’t worry about making grammatical errors because I know, as sure as the Earth will continue to orbit the Sun, it will happen. And I know I’ll make every effort with the help from editors, who are much smarter than ‘I’, to weed out those nasty incantations that cause me to hide in naked literary shame. I don’t worry about the length of a novel because the story should naturally unfold at its own pace. Or that I Continue Reading
