It’s love bug season here on the Space Coast. Love bugs, if you must know, are little, black winged creatures that attach their cabooses to each other. When they fly, they look like a train going in both directions.
I’m feeling that way myself, lately. It is a struggle. Money is tight. The Bonneville is showing signs of wear, at the ripe age of 16. Okay, I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said it’s showing signs of falling apart at 202,000 miles. I am falling apart a bit, too. A wrist and forearm pain, assumed to be carpel tunnel, nags me daily. My bulging Achilles tendon seems to like the humidity, although my knee without the cartilage does not.
Yet, I have every reason to be hopeful for all that is about to happen. This week, I poured concrete for the first moon bench, and seeded it with white marble and phosphorescent glass. When weather permits next week, I’ll use my spiffy new EBay find, a variable speed concrete polisher, and make it come to life. The hope is to sell a few of these to buy a Jeep, or similar mountain goat 4-wheel drive vehicle.
I’m also pleased with the characters I’ve brought to life (and death) in Heaven RIde, along with my collaborator and story engineer, John Eccleston. In Heaven Ride, two super-intelligent buddies, David and JW, make discoveries that unlock secrets of the human soul and quantum consciousness. Using David’s uncanny business development abilities, their Heaven Ride evolves into the fastest-growing business in history. For a modest price, they are able to re-create the body’s death sequence and eject the soul on its mission. As with all good things, bad guys like Thomas Steinman attempt to use Heaven Ride for their own monetary gain and evil purposes. As events unfold, the reader begins to wonder if maybe David and JW are the bad guys, until book one reaches its surprising climax. I shant say more.
The novel is ready to be published, We do not yet have an agent or publisher, but we did generate interest last year. Our rewrites started in November, and Heaven Ride is now truly a thriller, We’re seeing that our technology is legitimized by many respected scientific minds.
I’ve also made further progress on my memoir. Time, and an objective read-through showed me where I need to add a few anecdotes and observations. It’s a truthful look at the things that have inspired me that may be inspirational to others. Perhaps a career as a motivational speaker awaits.
Success beckons.
I look forward to a trip back to my mountains, and being reunited with all my stuff in storage. I’m uncertain when I can make that happen.
