The Author's Perspective
Why Fiction?
After over five decades employed within the worlds of elite science, he decided that today’s science was yesterday’s fiction. His fiction will be tomorrow’s science. He brings his curiosity, experience, and unconventional perspectives to fiction, creating stories that invite readers to think very differently and engage with ideas beyond the expected.
Thusly, science is one part science; one part fiction.
He’s a purist.
So, it needs to be 100% fiction, no artificial intelligence additives woven into his word-art tapestries. Human brain wrinkles creating novel approaches to thinking differently.
Bold Fiction Awaits
His original flash fiction and short stories are for the artists, the outcasts, the provocateurs, the forward thinkers, the leaders, and the passionate followers of all flavors of good will.
For curious readers who hunger and seek something unconventional.
