Hi B.Duane, Welcome to my blog, I’m
happy meet you and introduce you to my readers. Let’s get started.
Title, genre, format (ebook, paperback):
The Dark Razor, Tales
From Inter-Space Freight Services, Ltd: Sweetness, Tales from
Inter-Space Freight Services, Ltd: The Staff. Science Fiction all in
eBook format.
Tell me about your book/story:
All characters in the stories are,
used to be, or will become associated with a small logistics company called Inter-Space
Freight Services, Ltd. The company arranges freight runs and handles
paperwork, tariffs, and customs for independent owner-operators of small and
medium sized space freighters. Rather than a Princess, Wizard, or
Champion Knight, the stories are about people who have to work for a
living. Each individual has their own
past, personality, character flaws, and goals. Mundane lives wouldn’t be
that interesting for most readers, and indeed all of the characters have
experienced adventures. Even more, they
have had some influence on each other, usually without knowing it. The
series is less hard science and explanation, and more about the human (or in
some cases non-terrestrial sentients) struggles, victories, trials, and
rewards.
What is the one thing you’d like people to know about you (or,
what is your secret superpower):
I’m a lifelong presenter, with little fear of
public speaking and an ability to relate to nearly everyone. That’s not
so super, so just for fun I have two different super powers, neither of which I
can control to much extent. One is
ACID. That would probably be my X-Man
name if I were in the comics! My skin
destroys many metals, but it takes long exposure. I’ve ruined many
watches, and had to replace my gold wedding ring as my skin seems to eat it
away. I play trumpet. Where I hold the horn the nickel and brass
finishes have been worn away by nothing but contact with my skin. The second I’m less prone to share because it
can be unsettling, yet has happened many times in my life. I have a
certain sense of prescience (think Frank Herbert’s Dune series). I
cannot control it, and it doesn’t always happen, but I have sensed many things
from many people. It’s highly personal, and has included an impending
death of a strong and healthy man, criminal behavior in a church Pastor, and
more. It is difficult to describe other than as a strong unanticipated
thought sensed when first meeting someone.
I share the thoughts with almost nobody because they seem so unlikely.
The problem is, they nearly always comes true.
And just a few fun questions:
Pen or Computer: Computer! Unless I’m using my
iPad or Mac. Cloud storage is wonderful!
Best writing snacks: Nothing! Eating distracts me and when I’m fully
engaged in writing eating is one of the furthest things from my mind.
Craziest thing you’ve done for story research:
It’s not so bizarre, but I love learning things and expanding knowledge.
I might stop writing to look up a word and its Latin or Greek root, but
then get lost in the research online for hours.
Thank you!
