Trying to be true to what I do

For the first time in my life, I have stopped destroying the wasp nests that are built around my house underneath the eaves mostly. Since writing the environmental fiction books that I wrote this summer, I have decided that although I am nothing more than a fictional writer at the moment, that as an inhabitant of this planet, I need to be more real than my writing. Strangely enough, I have not been stung this summer, by a single wasp and I have not even been attacked. In years past I had been both stung and attacked by the red wasps. There are no red wasps this year. I guess my real test, will be if there are ever any red wasps that build their nests on the house I live in. I also now wonder where the red wasps have gone? A few years ago, I probably would have not written anything about flying insects. This is what happens to you when you write a few books and really start to think about things. I am just not the same after I write about something and think about it in different ways...

Life has many surprises.

This is a Environmental Fantasy

As humans, we fantasize about many things. Why not have a fantasy about a super clean and appealing environment? I bring you the reader, an environmental fantasy that you can expand in your own mind.

Una fantasia del medio ambiente. En este libro, ustedes van a poder desarrollar en su propia mente, un mundo mucho mas limpio y sano. No como el planeta de nosotros, que cada día va cayendo la calidad de la naturaleza. Se va haciendo peor, y llegando a un nivel que nos espanta a algunos, y nos hace pensar a otros, a donde va a llegar todo esto que hacemos. Piensen en la esperanza.

What do UFO's, Angels, Martians, Aliens and Ghosts have in common?

In my new book, I take a leap of fantasy. Poetic licence (not sure if I have been properly issued one, but oh well) and weave the common thread. UFO's, Martians and Aliens, were not much of a stretch in the fantasy world. I made a decision to include the Ghosts and Angels in the group. Enjoy the read.

En mi libro nuevo de fantasía, uso mi licencia como autor, para hacerlos a ustedes pensar que un OVNI, Angeles, Fantasmas, Marcianos y Extraterrestres vienen del mismo origen. Es lo bueno de la fantasía, todo es posible.      

This is a story for people that don't feel that they fit into this world all the time. This is a story for those that have lost hope. This is a story for realizing that things are not always as they appear. When reading this story always remember that this is fantasy literature with a little bit of mystery. The Spanish version of this book is coming soon.

Eons of Time

Fantasy has long been a link through out the eons of time. First with story telling, around a fire in prehistoric times, later using props and outfits, as is done in theatre. Finally with books and now the electronic version of books. I have done everthing I can do as a storyteller of fantasy, to provide you the reader with an escape from your hectic, fast paced life. To give you another place with other opportunities and interactions sometimes different than your own and sometimes not unlike what you might be experiencing. I start this novelette-length story with the premise that things are not always as they appear or as we have been told that they are. We often believe that all people think and behave as we do.  The sense of belonging to something, the desire of being accepted, runs deep with many. This is certainly the case with the main character Ta. From the opening scene in Chilean Patagonia to the arrival in the Ciudadela of Light, you will get to create in your own mind a new world of sights and sounds and playfully ask yourself that great question that plays out both in life and certainly in fantasy, what if? Enjoy The Other Tribe Among Us.
