Stay tuned! | | |
| MISC MAY CATCHUPGreetings all,
My wonderful new friends, Diane & David Torres, have been shifting careers, and in the meantime have been doing the "Market America" thing. Interesting idea. They're honest folk and hardworking, so I really want to support this venture of theirs. Therefore, check out what they have at Market America and see if it may fit your shopping/market/business/etc needs: http://www.marketamerica.com/dianetorres/
Upcoming book signing: Have a gig on May 20th, Islandwood, Bainbridge Island, WA, celebrating local authors; I'll be presenting my books The KillWare Chronicles and Plagueman and will do a book signing. You can go to the Bainbridge Schools Foundation website for details: http://bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.com/index.html
Writing update: Still working on book three of The KillWare Chronicles. We'll see if I have it finished by this Summer and then out to press by Fall. Trying!!!
Have a nice life.

| Congratulations to our new President, Barack Obama!
When I wrote my review of The Audacity Of Hope last summer, I could not know that today Obama would stand as our new president. Over the past six months, I must admit, blogging has been low on my priority list while I'm working to finish KillWare III: The Accidental Prisoner -- very close now. BUT...I had to blog-in today, while here on my main computer writing away on my book and watching on my laptop next to me the 2009 Obama Inauguration on streaming video at http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/video/video-2009-obama.cfm
Hope everyone else is enjoying this historic event: may the God of serious art and vindicated justice watch over all attending and participating in Washington D.C.
Shalom, k d kragen
Postscript: Inauguration over. Bravo! A great moment in space-time. From Lincoln to Obama, one great truth shined today: racism and "Arian" supremicist terrorism has been delt the final deathblow; if nothing else, this will be a lasting legacy of our 44th president. As well, it is clear the prayer required for the coming days is that President Obama may successfully translate his eloquent words and ideals, his integrety and good intentions into the kinds of changes of which he spoke in The Audacity Of Hope. May God have mercy.

 I read Obama's The Audacity Of Hope and found it very interesting, and especially helpful as I try to understand the elections this coming November. It was an especially exciting book for me, because it is not often one gets to read a book written by a presidential candidate before he or she began the bid for the White House. I encourage everyone to read this book this summer, whether you're thinking of voting for Obama or for someone else. Do keep in mind, The Audacity Of Hope
was written a few years ago; therefore, after you finish the book,
learn more about Obama's views and thoughts by reading and listening to
his recent press statements and speeches.See my review of The Audacity Of Hope here (PDF): Audacity Of Hope.

| The Future Is Here: For the sci-fi writer, to say this, it is both exciting and dangerous. Exciting because a new reality has emerged among us. Dangerous because now I must re-calibrate my future-vision one step beyond this new reality! So, here it is... APTURA!
