Sure, that would be great. Thank you

Once fortunate enough to be of the chosen entering into Heaven, where does a man go who is suddenly turned away? What transgressions must he have committed that would change his destiny?

I would be attracted to a Jules Verne world, perhaps one beneath our very feet, in that I would like to go to the center of the earth. I would explore there all the strange phenomena that not only he conjured, but others of his genre had also.

I am currently reading The Mustard Seed. I plan to read The Solar Wind and Oracle.

The first book should be The man Who Carried Guilt. It is a compilation of four short stories, which I linked together to form a flowing plot. It contains some characters from my first novel, From Whence They Came and actually has no science fiction whatsoever. Then I would say to read my short story, Genesis because that's where the science fiction starts. From there one should follow up with my first novel in my Neuphobes Series, From Whence They Came. Then my most recent work, Beyond Imagination (the second novel -- novella -- in my Neuphobes Series) and then my final short story, The Final Chapter, which actually started out as the last chapter of my first novel, and again contains no science fiction. Hope you read them all. I might add, From Whence They Came will be coming out in a Second Edition sometime next year. It is a work that I feel I can make much better. I am also currently at work on the third novel in my Neuphobes Series, which should be completed by this time next year. Thank you for asking.

Fortunately, I haven't had any. If I did, I would just sit and relax, think about things until something struck me and I would develop it from there.

Total freedom. No one to answer to -- except your audience, beta readers, editors, and family. But all their input allows you to express in a manner where everyone will understand and enjoy your work.

Write and write. Computers make it all so much simpler. The time from beginning to end on any project has to be at least four times quicker than when I first started with a typewriter and paper. Oh, and after you've written your novel, edit it over and over. Then have someone else edit it and so on. In between writing, think about it and go back to work on it some more.

The working title is Before it Began. But that could change. It is the story of Phoebians (my aliens) and their impact on our history since leaving their home planet.

I am intrigued by unanswered questions that shows, such as "Ancient Aliens", involve themselves in. I will see or hear something, then go off on a fanciful tangent about it.

My most recent book has just been published. It is called Beyond Imagination and is an accompaniment to my first novel, From Whence They Came. It is a story that takes place at the same time as the first, but in an entirely different setting. It brings a much fuller picture to my over all theme, which I entitled The Neuphobes Series. (Neuphobes: To adapt to what once were fears; a new state of confidence. Something new and positive that has replaced the old and feared)I am currently at work on the third book to complete the series, which tends to incorporate many anomalous occurrences throughout history.
