The earliest I remember ever writing something that stirred emotions was way back in my sixth grad when I wrote an essay,part of a test and my English teacher made me re-write it. He was convinced I'd plagiarized the essay. Can you believe that!!!!
For the record - I hadn't!
I don't really remember what the essay was about,but I can imagine how riveting my story must have been.
I tried serious writing in high school,actually wrote a couple random articles, but ridicule from classmates tore me down. I actually got to the mid of two books! But didn't complete...
By this time, I'd become hooked on suspense thrillers from Sidney Sheldon (his "Doomsday Conspiracy," will be my all timefavorite), Steve Martini, Robert Ludlum, John Grisham (I looooved his-"The Partner"), Jeff Abbott, Robert Ludlum ("The Borne Series") of course among others. But, it was after completing college that I decided to really get down to it.
I really must thank a former hostel-mate - Kioko, for my first drafts of Ionshaker that I began writing in 2007. When I secretly started writing the story, he read the first draft chapters despite the many typos, inconsistencies and a lot more. But all the same he was thrilled. I can't explain the effect of his addiction to my story had on me. And soon he spread the word around and many friends also read it.
I finished the story, but getting a publisher......... was another bad, bad, bad nightmare Just ask any writer, they'll tell you...
Anyways, Ionshaker has been released, first as a kindle ebook and you can read the first chapter for free.
My experience so far has been that, writing is like a drug, you start with a page, then a chapter, then a book, then without knowing you're on the next. As a matter of fact my second thriller TERROR ALERT is already finished and has got a couple of good reviews.
Just one last thing before you go, read the first chapter of Ionshaker for free on this website.
<p>“<em>We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(</em>Teilhard de Chardin<em>)</em></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;"><em>Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God </em> is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">.</em></p><p>“<em> Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience</em>” (From a reviewer)</p><p>Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.</p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other. The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">From the same review “</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.</em></p><p><em>(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)</em></p><p> </p>
We live in very volatile times, with countries rivaling each other to become the next superpowers and terrorists becoming more and more heinously creative. What if all of the world's nuclear power, from non-military civil power plants to lethal nuclear warheads could be controlled by a single software that could remotely detonate any nuke on the planet? And if that software was to be called Ionshaker, what would you expect if it was to fall in the wicked hands of terrorists? Lets give these terrorists a name, say - Al Fakir, What do you think Al Fakir would do with Ionshaker in their hands? Use it to make demands, start a random nuclear war perhaps? Do you by any chance live in America? If you do - what if they detonated several nuclear warheads and nuclear power-plants across America to kill copious amounts of people with the explosions and radiation? If you don't live in the U.S - what if the Al Fakir attacked your country with American nuclear warheads, how would you country react? And just assume for a minute that you're the U.S president at the time hoping to run for a second term - what would you do if Al Fakir took over your county's nuclear power? What if the only people who can help you stop Al Fakir are murder suspects and are on FBI's most wanted list, would you use them to stop the terrorists. If you did use them, what about the political ramifications? Would you put your career on the line? Really? Those are just but a few of the many scenarios that ran through my mind as I was writing Ionshaker and I do hope you'll love it!
