My Eclectic Pen

Eclectic: Selecting what appears to be the best in various doctrines, methods, or styles.  Composed of elements drawn from various sources.

Pen: A small enclosure for animals. An implement for writing.

I think I’ll go with the second definition of both words. I like to write, but haven’t been able to limit myself to one single genre.  Oh almost everything I touch is of a fictional nature, but facts keep slipping in there and as friends have mentioned before I have the habit of telling a story that is based of real events or people.

Why I’m Here

Not everything that I write is worthy of publication, and so I will occasionally be placing pieces here that will never be available for purchase. Keep copies just in case I ever become a famous author.  I heard that Picasso used to pay his bar tab by drawing a picture on a bar napkin. The bar keep took them I think in part because he felt sorry for the as yet unsuccessful painter.  Just think of what the collection of those bar napkins must be worth today. Of course if he didn’t keep them.  So a word to the wise, keep copies.

To be completely honest I’m starting this to promote any books that do see the light of day.  I’ll let you know what category they fall into so that you don’t end up reading a “youth” book when you’re looking for adult mayhem.

So far there are works in: “Youth,” “Science Fiction-Fantasy,” Mystery,” and “Inspirational.” The only one available is on the Amazon-Kindle E-books site, and it’s titled “Time Out.”  It’s mystery, with science fiction-fantasy leanings.

Who I Am

I am not young, in body. I come from a generation where computers were found in science fiction, and people held hands while they had intimate conversations. (Yes that’s right it would make it hard to text that way.)

Today I would be lost without my computer, and “Spell-check” is my best friend.  I’ve tried to download a “Spell-check” app for my mechanical pencil but I haven’t had any luck so far.

Why You Are Here

Perhaps because you’re curious.  Perhaps because you want to be entertained.  Hopefully you will find things here that will be the answer to both of those quests.  And so, on with the entertaining.
