Ich bin mit einem meiner Projekte ein bisschen festgefahren und dachte, dass es vielleicht hier Ideen gibt, die mir weiterhelfen.

Ich habe im letzten Winter einen Roman oder Erzählung oder so geschrieben, die jetzt mit der kommenden Wahl super ins Zeitgeschehen passen würde. Jetzt komme ich aber mit der Veröffentlichung nicht weiter, weiß nicht wie sowas funktioniert, kenne niemand zum lektorieren, aber vielleicht dafür wen für den Buchsatz.

Ich will kein Schriftsteller werden, aber würde dieses Projekt gerne rausbringen, weil es eventuell Leuten zu Erkenntnissen oder einfach Freude verhilft. Es wäre auch schade so viel Arbeit auf meiner HDD verkommen zu lassen (wie so viel anderes schon).

Plot: Eine Gruppe Kinder aus einem großstädtischen, akademischen, linken Freie Schule und Hausprojekt-Milieu begibt sich in den Sommerferien auf eine selbstorganisierte Fahrradtour durch Deutschland. Begleitet werden sie dabei von einem älteren, depressiven, ostdeutschen Antifa-Aktivisten. Das Geschehen wird überschattet vom Amtsantritt einer neofaschistischen Regierung und gerät aus den Fugen. (Bäh Klappentext...)

Pls retoot

Just finished reading this book about the 1980 Iranian embassy siege in London. Anyone else read it? Ben Macintyre is very good at these popular non-fiction books about war and spies etc; he has a knack of bringing all the people involved to life with plentiful character description.

I would have bought the Kindle ebook of this, but it was too expensive! So borrowed it from the library instead. Text a bit too small, but I persevered.

Been a while since I pimped my latest. Somehow I missed this fun 5-star review on Amazon:

"Alpha Max is funny... the kind of funny that has you thinking while your laughing. If that's your bag, Mark is your guy. He writes such round characters in well built worlds that end up in hilarious absurd situations. I love how he takes the absolute most unlikely heroes and ignites them into action!" –D. Brown

A DEEPLY RESEARCHED, PASSIONATELY argued, and unfortunately timely deep dive into the political impact of the broad coalition of groups identifying themselves as the US’s “Christian Right.” Eye-opening and unsettling. A MINUS

Just stumbled across some old edits from The Fridgularity. I'd completely forgotten about the gunfight scene in the tomato soup factory. (Wishing now I hadn't cut it.) Some of the dialog:

"Ah, God, I'm hit... No wait, it's just soup."

"I'm done for, tell my wife I ... no, I'm good, it's just soup."

"There's so much blood! Oh nevermind, it's just tomatoes."

Ended with a head shot.

... on your toes, with things revealed in round about ways. For example Rincewind being captured by the Patrician is revealed first by a scene that describes the Patrician and a conversation with a guard, with Rincewind being revealed a few sentences later. So what you think you're reading turns out to be something different.

And much of the writing is like that with constant reveals and new information.

It's too early to say I'm enjoying the #book but so far so good.

Once again, it's time to pimp my wares. This is a lovely review from Amazon.

This novel was written before the advent of Ozempic and similar drugs, but it's still pretty relevant.

It won two awards, an IRDC for best humor and the Benjamin Franklin award for humor from IPBA!

Primarily I write #ScienceFiction and #humor, but I've also written darkly comic stuff, fabulist satire, and some literary fiction. Once I blogged squibs, screeds and other drivel (some pure & some quite tainted with meaning.)

My cats keep me sane(ish).

If you want to understand my rich inner life, I recommend this #book: Alpha Max.

Dear #web experts in my timeline (and on the rest of the #Internet), what are the good #book / #tutorial / #workshop / #link / #blog with random UI design and implementation using simple HTML (or say with #bootstrap ) ?

I guess just simple #boostrap can solve most of my needs.

The brilliant and super-ethically minded Xigxag have been added to my Ethical Bookseller Search Tool.

The tool scours more ethical booksellers than #Amazon in one click and the cheapest result is as cheap or cheaper than Amazon for the majority of searches?! 🤯

Give it a whirl when searching for your next online #book order. 📖 👇

I don't write horror, but there is a strong #Halloween vibe in this novel, which won an IRDC award for best humor in 2013.

The Fridgularity us about an AI becoming self aware, taking over all digital technology, and only wanting to talk to one dude (a frustrated web designer) through his web enabled fridge.

(Yes, that's a raven on top of the fridge.)

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to author Jenn Thorson about the classic children’s story, Alice in Wonderland.

We discuss the history of the Alice in Wonderland books and the impact they've had on our culture. It's a fascinating conversation about the nature of writing with a “dream-like” quality.
