Castles of Literature

Rays of Sunshine Radiating Across All Kinds of Life Experiences
The sun spills its astronomical warmth. Converging colors into paintings and risk-taking literature. Enter a novel, where the sunshine spills its lemon meringue brushstrokes across even the moonlit chapters it evokes.
Search 4 Splendor, “Rated PG-13” & In Kaleidoscopic Color weaves its literary, lyrical roots through a myriad of diverse terrains: Victim/Survivor Rights, Classic Literature, Poetry, Coming of Age Perspective, Science Fiction, Experimentation, and Outsider Art.
Search 4 Splendor, “Rated PG-13” & In Kaleidoscopic Color, tells the unconventional, otherworldly, and exploratory story of Millicent Splendor, a Life and Literature loving narrator – who strives to honor all Victims and Survivors in the world. It is creatively designed to be “two books in one,” by way of two volumes. This version includes artwork, childhood photographs, drawings, and paintings: and the storyline has been modified from the original (published February 3, 2020), so as to hopefully comply with its author-ascribed, “PG-13” movie rating (or literary equivalent) standard.
It is an autobiography of the author’s nine year old self (written as she got older), and deals with one person’s humanitarian-aspired interpretation and creative exploration of their own childhood-experiences’ meanings – or does it? Or, does it brush by all experiences within life, at least in the abstract, in its united, interwoven hope to offer compassion to all people in this world—both today and historically, of a variety of things: violence, racism, intolerance, crime, injustice, child abuse, sexual abuse/sexual assault, identity issues, etc.
The author’s fervent hope is for her words to reach into people’s lives—to encourage her readers to use their own modes of expression, in order to convey their own lives’ experiences. To show that Victims and Survivors should always be empowered and always permitted to flaunt their words, energies, and creativities, in any way that they desire (i.e., “Victim/Survivor Speak”).
And that Victims and Survivors, along with all Good, Righteous People of all backgrounds, ages, situations, and caliber of experiences (again, today and historically) – that their lives alone, the sacred memories of their lives – and their survivals – are vital to society, vital to every culture’s history, and vital to humankind’s (and every living creature’s) splendorous entirety.

Author Bio:
L.A. Bockman, author of the ‘Search 4 Splendor” novels has nothing to brag or boast about. She was once a precocious child who loved Rock n’ Roll, Art/Drawing, Reading/Poetry, Nature, and all of Life. After some strange, untoward circumstances (when she was nine years old), rendered her path a little different, she went on to grow up into a “rebellious punk rocker/experimental teenager,” who, at seventeen, started college. She eventually attended two Universities, where she finally (while painting pictures, designing strange, glittery, magician-inspired outfits, and hanging out at rock concerts) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Cultural Anthropology. She worked during college at various jobs: a collection agency, antique clothing store, perfume factory, flipping hamburgers in a local bowling alley’s restaurant, etc. After not landing her ideal job after college, and some other colorful events, she moved to Hollywood, CA, where she planted herself (along with her paint-sets, her wayward clothes, and her writing and poems from college). A guitar player since childhood, she went on to work at The Guitar Center in Hollywood, CA, selling guitar strings and electric guitar accessories to some of her favorite rock stars; that is, until getting hired at a famous Accounting firm in Downtown Los Angeles as an Administrative Assistant, who (somehow or other), over the years, got promoted to a Financial Analyst, and eventually, to an Auditor/Consultant. Yet, after waving goodbye to the corporate world, she woke up one day, resolved to become a writer; and to this vision, like a compulsion, she still fervently adheres. She took up her writerly pen, with zero expectations other than to write books and document memories in such a way that could serve as “mirrors and cognitive expanders” to her Life – and to all of Life.
