Hi, my real name is Eric T. I've written several works of mystical faction [sic] in a series called "The Shadowlands", using the pen name Etienne de L'Amour.

My latest works are "The Dissidents: A novella" "Game of Aeons: A short novel", "Secret Friends: The Ramblings of a Madman in Search of a Soul", and "The Imaginal Veil", written as H.M. Forester in the genres of psifi and scifi. They are really more about people than technology.

I usually log into Goodreads as H.M. Forester. You can also find me at twitter as "SherPoint".

You can find, read, and download our works at the Internet Archive:

The Dissidents (Extended 2025): A novel by H.M. Forester

I'm very happy to announce that an extended edition of The Dissidents by H.M. Forester has now been published. And after spending days locked in my apartment and having run out of coffee and other supplies, I too am much relieved to have finally been released.

Enforcement Officer Kingsley is pretty sure of himself and the Greater Good that the Hive stands for, and he shows no compunction when rooti Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Etienne de L'Amour  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You know, we worry about the Bomb, a thought interceded, and yet just look around: there are millions of people out there, just like you and me, with their thumb on the self-destruct button.”
Etienne de L'Amour, Thank You, I Understand

“For the most part, what we think of as 'I' is nothing more than a whole heap of conditioning.”
Etienne de L'Amour, Escape from the Shadowlands

“Let me leave you with a positive thought. William Shakespeare once wrote: “The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.” They call this the Hidden Economy and it is not based on greed or love of money, but on unconditional, selfless, boundless and unstinting Love.”
Etienne de L'Amour

“When it came to dealing with feral dissidents, there was only one unwritten law that superseded all others: "An' it secure a conviction, do what thou wilt.”
H.M. Forester

“I? This is the very root of all evil.”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents
tags: ego, evil, self

“We have plenty of warners (though the wind blows away our words), but we could do with more arks.”
H.M. Forester

“There’s a brutal irony to the fact that many of the features of our built world that are billed as keeping us safe also make us feel unsafe. If one wanted to take a cynical point of view, one might posit that, at times, this is an intended outcome. And that certain individuals or institutions may want us to feel unsafe for their own selfish ends. But why would anybody actively want to make us feel unsafe? The Polyvagal Theory offers a simple explanation: When we feel unsafe, our bodies shut down our ability to critically think or learn in favor of a need for immediate survival.”
Stephen W. Porges, Our Polyvagal World: How Safety and Trauma Change Us

“Remember that wisdom is not a destination, but a way of travelling.”
