About Fifteen Seasons

A school textbook salesman buys a commercial salmon dory boat and takes his thirteen-year-old son out on the cold Pacific Ocean waters off the Oregon Coast for an entire summer. What could possibly go wrong? Take a voyage with Bruce and his son Terry as they begin their first season with harrowing gear tangles, poor decision making, repulsive fishing gear, and a salmon run that fell way below expectations. As they find their way to becoming successful fishermen on their fifteen-season sojourn, they discover that there is more to the industry than just fishing. The people, the culture, and many adventures capture their hearts, all while father and son carve indelible bonds through an unimaginable experience.

The Andronaut’s Journey

About The Andronaut’s Journey

Embark on an expedition through the cosmos in The Andronaut’s Journey. Join the crew of the spaceship Novara, an eclectic blend of humans and pioneering androids with advanced artificial intelligence, as they travel to a volatile dwarf planet seeking a precious isotope. The crew’s adventure becomes a rollercoaster ride of heart-stopping moments — a blend of fears and courage, doubts and hope — as they race to secure the isotope and flee the restless planet before it self-destructs.

But their perilous mission is just the backdrop to an even more profound quest — understanding the overlap between humans and AI. As they return to Arcadia Base on Mars, they carry with them not just the cargo from their mission, but also an escalating tension between the human crew and the intelligent robots. Driven by apprehensions about the AI beings among them, the crew and the androids struggle for understanding of the roles of humans and artificial intelligence.

At the crossroads of a new era, humans and androids must find common ground or face an eternal power struggle. The Andronaut’s Journey is a fascinating space opera that explores the profound question of what makes us who we are, in an age where the line between biology and technology is not just blurred, but almost invisible.

Sperm & Eggs

About Sperm & Eggs

In ‘Sperm & Eggs – Attraction’, we emphasise how human sperm and eggs need to know what they’re doing. We contrast the human reasoning approach with animal instinct in bringing the two together. How we, the small litter strategists need to work out before consummation the best genetic mixture we can muster for our offspring.

Men are guided by the desires of their sperm. While women are restricted to producing one offspring at a time, saddled with a long gestation period during which she has to eat gherkins and coal for her tea. As thinking animals, we have time to overcome our confusion and deduce how our leaky juvenile genitals can be used reproductively.

Cue sex hormones and how an obsession with sex (and particularly among male scaffolders) enables sperm to stay on task.

We consider then what attracts women to men and vice versa, the egg strategy of attracting sperm-carriers using the art of titillation. The lure too, as evidenced in making up the lips to mimic the front bottom. And not forgetting suggestiveness, how men are intrigued by women eating bananas and how men licking the tops of yoghurt cartons could be of equal interest to ladies. In Switzerland, a man might impress a lady at dinner only to find himself sexually blacklisted for displaying a lack of finesse and sensitivity over pudding.

We look at how humans constantly redefine appeal with changes in hair fashion in contrast to the evergreen slicked-back look of the chimpanzee and the never-changing coiffeur of the poodle. Of course, as profound thinkers, scope for getting things wrong is inevitable. We explore misconceptions of what we believe is attractive. In Medieval Europe, for instance, when men wore a codpiece rammed down the front of their tights – pouches designed to either create the impression that the wearer had a pressing engagement, else signal that he might be hoping for one. And cryptic messages older, ‘off-peak’ humans put out attempting to cling onto their youth. Older women painting their eyebrows in the style of cameo Vulcans in Star Trek. The signal they send out to men analogous to that received by a motorist on his car radio while driving under a motorway bridge in gale force winds. While, older men, positioned at the bar upon a pub barstool, are still able to entice ladies passing by on their way back from the toilets with the simple but seductive salutation, “Allo, darlin’!’. Oftentimes saying and doing no more, bringing the seduction to a close, flushed with success and content to draw admiring looks from his stool compatriots.

This is the first book of three in the Sperm & Eggs series, titled ‘Sperm & Eggs – Attraction’. The other two books are ‘Sperm & Eggs – Interaction’ and ‘Sperm & Eggs – Relationships’.

About Doctor Misery’s City of Music

Can laughter save the mortal soul? Perhaps it can as a beauty-obsessed mad scientist becomes the cultural and political leader of a nation. Deceived by his pupil Doctor Praterius, Doctor Mizzieri and Gelsomina are driven again to creating new realities facilitated by transformative music. Great innovations are on display; AI-created propaganda such as the Mexican Robin Hood La Carambada, musically induced blockchains and introducing Crotox, a cryptocurrency based on the value of skin rejuvenators.

Musicians develop personal leitmotifs as the navigate mundane and extraordinary worlds, from the forested hills of New York to the Italian mountaintop city of Ravello, to a neighborhood in Venice where the feeble-minded are barred from technologies created after 1980, and finally on a river journey through a South American rainforest, a world that becomes entirely transformed into music. Will music enable higher consciousness or bring about submission through mesmerizations? Will it strengthen the conscience or assist Praterius in fulfilling her corrupt ambitions? Engaged in battle with dissonant harmonies and immoral regimes, these musicians will attempt to reconcile the mystifying paradoxes of human nature, proving that music can indeed save the mortal soul.

Samantha Reitenbach is a non-magical witch living in the paranormal town of Moonflower, raising a magical daughter with a pet talking bat. On top of that, she has started a catering business while working full-time at her great-aunt’s diner. To complicate matters further, she is unsure if she wants to pursue a relationship with her werewolf ex-boyfriend.

Imagine her surprise when the gnome contractor she hired to get the business ready is found dead. The handsome vampire sheriff seems determined to blame the death on someone Samantha cares deeply about, who was found unconscious next to the body.

Many secrets and potential suspects are involved in this unusual death, and Samantha must uncover the truth from the lies before those she loves are wrongly accused.

Although the handsome sheriff doesn’t want her involved for both personal and professional reasons, Samantha finds herself being drawn into the mysterious death. Time is running out to not only identify the killer, but also to find a way out of the school before the Paranormal Council gets involved.

Being locked in the school and the death aren’t the only things she has to deal with. As the night progresses, situations force her to make a decision between pursuing a relationship with one of the two men she is attracted to, or finally accepting she hasn’t moved on from her husband’s death.

Can Samantha solve the death before time ran out?
