April 20th Edition of The Baker Street Universe newspaper is now online!

View the latest edition here!

Rampage of the Fractal Man is coming this weekend! A really cool new adventure of one of my favorite heroes! The man with the multicolored hair that travels in the fractal universes.

He's back!

That's right!

Chesterton K is back and kicking fractal butt in the worst way!

I'm working on the new story as I type this. Well, actually after I was typing the story. Should have it done by the weekend. Hopefully publish it by the weekend as well.

It's going to be righteously hot and deep down nasty, because Chesterton K hates fakes and most of all he hates being a conformist. Just ask his hair dresser. Not! He doesn't have one!

Keep your eyes open!

Meanwhile,

Enjoy.

Fractal Life

Working on a new Sherlock Holmes story in a roundabout way.

I love working in the Victorian period of time because of the innocence of its values, the purity of its ideals, even if at times somewhat discolored by wrong ideas...such as women are second place, anyone not white is suspect and each nation has Divine Power as symoblized by their respective Kings and Queens.

But humanity has always been a series of twists and turns in attitude and nature, so new surprises there. Each time period has certain outstanding characteristics, some more enjoyable than others.

I suppose this is why I like Fractal Flames. They are so predictable at times, and yet offer enough surprises and beauty to maintain my interest.

Finding peace in a world that hates grasshoppers.

As a writer you want to put out only the best work you possibly can.

As a human being you want to walk the path that has the least amount of obstructions.

As a good writer you seek to inspire and energize the imaginations and dreams of your readers.

As a human being you hope to do no harm.

Can we do all those things?

Probably not.

Once said was, "You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time."

And that's just a simple truth of our world.

It's a world of constant shifting for balance...right and wrong...good and bad...happy and sad...enough money and not close to it. It's a world of opposites and don't let anyone tell you differently.

I've worked with some pretty rich people and they are no more happy than the poorest of people, they just have money to fall back on to indulge their down moments.

A wise grasshopper knows that the true balance in life is just doing the best you can, and walking that path with as little brusqueness as possible. Simply trying to do a good life is not easy. What is good for one person, may not be for another.

We are all souls climbing Jacob's Ladder. Some higher on the ladder, some lower, but all striving to get to the ultimate goal. Peace of mind and balance.

Whether you believe it is through money, sex, fame or fortune...well, that's your path.

But whatever path you take, just know it all ends up someday at the same goal. Balance. Even if it is painful getting there.

That all said.

I thought it would be fun to go through some of the thoughts on my mind as a write. I haven't had much time to do so of late, because of my regular job and trying to get in enough time writing and all my own crafts I enjoy...not including time for my loved ones!

Creative types can be driven or driving. I try to drive, but my love of art is so tremendous that sometimes I forget about the simpler things...like sleeping a full night, eating a good meal, keeping up with my friends...it goes on and on, but I try. As I'm sure we all do in our own ways.

I try never to judge another's failings, because I have a nice list of my own.

I'm looking forward to summer and the extra time it gives me.

Squeezing out my latest Sherlock Holmes adventure has been both a work of art and a time of great contrition, because I never have enough time it seems and it always pulls me away from doing something else equally as important.

"Ascension," my latest novel coming out on Amazon sometime this day deals with the rebirth of a famous author. One, whom I've loved since a child. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I still love his writing after all these years. And so I honor him by reinventing his world and modernizing it as I am pretty sure he might have done as well were he alive this day.

The fun of it is that I get to have him react with modern technology while still having some kind of familiarity about him...a Victorian environment jazzed up by Tesla technology. The equivalent of cell phones and computers in our own world and time.

Finding the time to write this story, which is a major expansion on an older idea I had, has been gruesome at times.

As many of you already know, I am a teacher in my Clark Kent time of the day and that requires a lot of time and effort as well.

It's been a real eye opener for me to teach at the middle school level these last couple years. It has actually helped me master a lot of things...like mostly patience. Kids are like bombs waiting to go off sometimes, and you have to tread lightly. Whoops! There's that balance thing again.

And if its not the kids, it's the parents, and more often than not the administrators...driven by their own demons...who add even more stress to the mix of trying to be a good teacher to so many kids who don't even want to learn.

I've seen a growing proportion of kids these days who are more interested in playing games...or mischief, unfortunately... than in developing personal skills and enhancing their knowledge of the real world.

Teaching in many ways is like writing. You are always trying to find the right/write combination of words or visualizations that will ignite the spark that flings the reader/student into a frenzy of self examination, excitement and urge to learn more.

I love pushing in the direction of a world where the wealth is more equitable and people more kind, even knowing that that dream may be just that...a dream.

I just try hard not to add to the grief in this world. Not all easy. Not always nice. Not always possible.

So what does this all have to do with science fiction and fantasy and especially my writing?

Everything!

Enjoy.

Oscar's Oasis. An animated short film.

Oscar is a lizard living in a non-specific desert that has features from several different real deserts, like the Sahara, Kalahari Desert, and North American deserts. An asphalt concrete highway runs through the area, used from time to time by various cargo trucks. Oscar is generally searching for food or water; he sometimes discovers liquid, in bottles or elsewhere, but is usually frustrated from recovering it for drink. An oasis supplies the only fresh water in the area, but its thick population of irascible and hungry crocodiles renders it inaccessible. At considerable personal risk (lizard is a delicacy for chickens), Oscar occasionally manages to steal an egg from a nearby hen coop, and he sometimes explores one of the piles of trash that litter the parched landscape. Popy, a fennec fox; Buck, a vulture; and Harchi, a hyena, inhabit a derelict school bus situated on a neighboring hill, but they mostly race about on a cast-off warehouse or grocery cart powered by Harchi and directed by Popy. Like Oscar, the trio constantly search for food and water - often competing with him, sometimes abusing him as a means, but occasionally cooperating with him when it suits their purpose. The main characters often find themselves falling off cliffs a la Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner, wherein the law of gravity is briefly suspended while the character comes to realize their imminent doom.

Indigo, Child of Thunder, Merlin Ambrosius. He was all that and more! Merlin the Magician.

The Baker Street Adventures! Science fiction at its best. Sherlock Holmes at his finest. Adventure of the highest sort! Heart pounding action that never stops!

Available now at Amazon.

It is Victorian England, the Greater Britains.

Its people are a stout amalgamation of the common working man and exceptionally brilliant and imaginative inventors and leaders. Its architecture is brave, bold and marvelous to behold...from the Tower of Black Death to Queen Mary of Scots Windsor Castle.

This is not the London of our world, but of an alternate Earth, where magic works side by side with science, and where everything we have exists, but also the creations of what we have imagined here, exists there. In our world Dracula is a myth and a story by Bram Stoker, but in this world Dracula is alive and doing well.

Yes. Nothing is ordinary about this London. This London is not the London we know across the ocean, nor the one that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so assiduously described, but rather a more advanced one in some ways and a more barbaric one in others.

It is a Baker Street Universe where all the heroes and villains we've come to know and love in fiction and fact have their existence. It is part of a series of stories and novels I've written that take the reader to a world and worlds where fantasy is real, where fictional characters live and breathe, and where villains are as dark and real as Jack the Ripper once was in our own world.

Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective alive in this realm and is partnered by Doctor John Watson, a hero from the wars with China.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson form the hub of a group of fellow adventurers and travelers, who deliver justice when needed, and seek to right the imbalances, created by evil wherever it might appear. In this London there is much evil, not even including the rather mundane evil of thefts and murders.

In this London there exist things that go bump in the night, creatures that shift swiftly past the edge of our vision, that tiptoe into our bedrooms at night and peer into our faces when we are sleeping; monsters that seek to rearrange reality into hell on earth; monsters that must be investigated, discovered, found and destroyed at any cost.

Follow Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, and a reborn from the dead Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Professor Challenger, the Invisible Man, Count Dracula, Jungle Lord, Captain Nemo, Harry Houdini, Nicolas Tesla, the Invisible Man, the Wolf Man and Madame Curie as they seek justice, truth and the Victorian Way!

I have been fortunate enough to record their adventures. I pray you will be as fortunate as I was to meet these brave men and women.
