Thought

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] A group dedicated to achieving your dreams. We support each other, give helpful advice and encouragement and compare paths to success. Come join! The name of the group is based on the Chinese phrase for imagination is "想象." Literally, 想 means "to think" and 象 means "elephant". The direct translation is "To Think of Elephants." Thus, the name of the group. "To Think of Elephants" means, to me, to dream the impossible dream, and to achieve it. That is, after all, imagination.

[close] This is a group supporting the idea that there is a paucity of current fiction being written about the era from 1960 to 1980. The tumultuous period of Cross-country trips, a generation gap and the social movements of anti-war, pro civil rights, plus woman's, and gay liberation. The period from what might be called the first Liberation Lit book, "On The Road", to Tim Robbins string of irreverences in the late seventies, with "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues"providing a good example. But what writers are reflecting back now on this period of huge change and a restructuring of the entire social contract? Where are the novels to finally end the divide between the returning soldier and the protesting hippie? Where is the closure that is needed as baby boomers enter their old age. They need art to reflect their sense of all this finally being past.
