Qualifications to write this particular book? Creative imagination and spatial, 3D, thinking since birth! And no, I'm not an alien. This book is sci-fi, but I am not.
This story-line started out as a small, short story when I used to live in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area. My job was effectively shut down and I was transferred to Tulsa, Oklahoma. All of my writings: poems, novels, short stories, etc. were printed out and boxed. Then lost. Then a few years ago, I found this short story and looked it over again. It's a great title and story, but it was quite short. It needed a little help. I started to write more into it and wound up with this current version. Wow! Talk about adding substance to it, there was a complete evolution, if you will, that this story took. Some of it turned into a novel of a jump. While writing more on, "The Ice Trader," I happened to find my very first written book, a lonnngg novel, G.L.F., which is in printing production at the time of this writing.
Robert A. Heinlein was my most favorite sci-fi author. I knew of a few of the others and enjoyed them: C S Lewis, Arthur C. Clark, Alfred Hitchcock, etc. Yes, Hitchcock was more known for his suspenseful writings and TV episodic programs.
(Though I grew up within a Pentecostal preacher's home, I liked the suspense. I was a 1958 - and on, "closet-watcher-when-I-could." I just had a wondering-ness for the stuff. Being older, now, I know better than I did then about such things and very young minds. There were a few nightmares along the way, too.)
Nowadays, Hitchcock's writings and productions would be considered very tame, concerning all that can be done with video magic, astrological things and extreme sensual-ism - sexual stuff - et al. I personally don't like a lot of what has and is being written and produced, too much evil spiritualism and sexual-ism being written into everything. Young child minds should be protected at any cost. Parents, I suggest you check this book out, first, before you allow your young-uns to read this. There is a little tiny bit of intense, lap-make-out upon the sofa, between Sarong, the female alien who, asked permission to try a love scene, forced herself upon Tom, the Earth's hero: Chapter 8. This is not for any young pre-teen kids - and possibly some teenagers, too. You have my permission to use a black marker to mark out the intense alien-human contact before you give this book to your younger children. Or, just keep this book for yourself and don't even mention it to your kids. This particular "passage" is no more than two pages - as Alfred Hitchcock's birds fly.
I've always enjoyed a good science fiction book. When sci-fi authors started writing with more than pure sci-fi in mind, ... for example: occultism, bad language, excessive gore, I stopped reading sci-fi books entirely. Except for C. S. Lewis, there are not very many Christian authors. There are more now, than before, only I don't know of very many. And I enjoy the fact that Christian movies are being produced and are done so extremely well.
It wasn't until 1988, when I started to write science fiction that I - and others similar to my desires of good general fiction or non-fiction books - would enjoy and like to read sci-fi books, once again. Leave out the horror and gore, but keep the suspense and intensity of the subject matter. Those who want horror can put it in, with their own minds and whatever else they would want to put in, to appease their reading desires.
I am not opposed to a good intense story-line, I just don't want to use the bad language and horror realm - I don't think that is necessary for the creation of a great story. I have written this book with great intensity and suspense to supply an adrenaline, jaw-dropping, yet love-able - ? - story-line. I believe that all people like a good story. I aim to provide it -- lock, stock and barrel.view less
