I have always longed for a world where people are more interested in each other's good than their own. I have always lived in a world where people are more interested in competing for profit and status than in each other's good.

Do you live in a world of greed and long for a world of good?

What human evils endanger our beloved planet?

Can we do anything about it?

My Infinite Games Series - The Marshlanders, Fly Out of the Darkness, The Road to Beaver Mill (all available on amazon.com); and the Battle for the Black Fen, forthcoming with Moon Willow Press in summer 2017 - are my way of asking those questions and suggesting answers to them.

I taught English and Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for many years, but I eventuall

Mapping Our Way Through The Darkness

Right after the election in November, many of us suddenly felt the presence of evil stalking our world and threatening to destroy our beloved planet.
Although writing Eco-Fiction novels may seem rather a puny little sling against such a horrendously threatening Goliath, that's is what I try to do.

Here's my blog for those first difficult days:

Quotes by Annis Pratt  (?)

“The best-remembered teachers are the tough ones, who discipline our intellects for the longest journeys.”
Annis Pratt

“You are at my side, dear friends, and God is everywhere. Yet ultimately we are alone, making our way home by the candle of the heart. The light is steady and sure but extends only far enough to see the next step.
Many times the light seems to go out. But another light, one held by a stranger or friend, a book or a song, a blackbird or a wild flower, comes close enough so that we can see our path by its light. And in time we realize that the light we have borrowed was always our own.”
Joan Borysenko, A Woman's Journey to God

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
Søren Kierkegaard
