Here's a little piece from my novel, THE VIRTUAL LIFE OF FIZZY OCEANS:

"So maybe it’s just a matter of time… Until the lights go out for good and we’re sitting in the cold, cold darkness with our thumbs up our ass, and tears in our eyes, and wondering why we waited so long to see the ‘forest for the trees’. Christ, it’s not like the information we needed to save PL wasn’t out there. It was! All along! No, this cannot be part of some Grand Plan. Not this!

And have you heard about the black cloud that has now covered all of Florida and blocked out the sun? Sunshine State no more! They say it’s because the ocean is on fire—well, copy this, it’s not the ocean that’s on fire, it’s the oil slick on top of the water that’s burning!

But don’t cry for me Argentina. Before the water reaches my eyes, I will be gone, safe and sound in Virtual Life, maybe at Dirty Nellie’s, or at Quinn Town, or at my Van Gogh REP showing visitors Vincent’s paintings, or at Open Books helping Crystal publish Paradise Lost (because I know she’ll be in VL too). Or maybe I’ll be writing my own VL memoir (lol)—who knows? Amidst all the devastation, and all the chaos, and all the tragedy, and all the tears, and all the prayers, I do know this: it is now certain—and perhaps always was inevitable—that PL is kaput, doomed, done for, finished, history.

Whoosh…"

THE VIRTUAL LIFE OF FIZZY OCEANS is available in paperback as well as all eBook formats. I hope you get a copy and experience Fizzy's extraordinary world.
