"Isn't science fiction the always same hero's journey plot placed in a futuristic world? I'm having a hard time imagining how to create a new paradigm for this. Other plot lines - romance, mystery, adventure - have been…"

A great man strode this earth, William Nathan Tackitt. He walked with pride and humility and strength. He walked gently and with love and kindness and confidence. He lived a great adventure and created a strong loving family in his shadow. He was a husband, father, brother, son, cousin, friend - and the best at each. A giant strode among us for 89 years. He was a soldier in three wars, but wasn't bitter or angry from the experience. He faithfully served his church as an elder. He more than…See More

Hello!
Hello! I write mostly short humorous pieces based on actual life experiences; But I have also written several other kinds of stories, some dark, and some twisted. Most of my works are posted at lloydtackitt.com. There are links on that site to the published stories. It looks like my story "Aunt Tilly" may be published soon also.
I am in the final stages of revision (soon to go to editing) of a 65,000 word book based on a family group surviving a solar storm that permanently knocks out the electrical grid. This effectively puts civilization right back into the stone age. The book is an adventure story of how to survive an apocalypse. I plan on self epublishing within the next 60 days.

Good Enough to Steal? Torrentz Thinks So

Starting three days ago my book - A Distant Eden - went on the pirate downloads. It has been going on more and more sites each day, there is a veritable avalanche of torrentz sites offering it for free downloads now.
I am of two minds about this. First was the feeling of disgust that the book I worked on for hundreds of hours, perhaps thousands counting all the research and thinking time, is being stolen.
Second was a strange satisfaction that it has made the big time by…
