WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SHORT STORY OF THE FANTASTIC

Nobel Prize for Literature nominee Jaime Martinez Tolentino presents 13 stories of the fantastic to read after midnight, and also sets out to explore the differences between the various kinds of such stories—the uncanny, the supernatural, the marvelous, the fantastic, magical realism, etc.

The stories contained in 13 AFTER MIDNIGHT all belong to what is, arguably, the most misunderstood literary genre, or modality: the Fantastic—and fantastic they are, in all sense of the word!

In his book, [Martínez Tolentino] toys with the ambiguities of what we commonly call reality. But, before allowing us to enter those bewildering worlds, he leads us through a vast antechamber in which, with the patience of a tour guide, he explains the world of the short story of the fantastic [...] That antechamber, takes the form of an Introduction to the Short Story of the Fantastic as a literary genre, and with that essay, Jaime has achieved one of the clearest and most systematic definitions of the short story of the fantastic that we have ever read.
—Professor Rafael Abréu Volmar, of the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico

   Sometimes, I put myself in the psyche of a reader who scrolls over the book list on the Amazon website or stroll down the Barnes & Nobles’ bookstore isle. What makes the reader click and purchase your book on a website or pull a copy down of your novel from the bookshelf?

            I ask myself, “Why should you really read my books?”

I want to develop a great yarn in my novels. My books are filled with hopes, dreams, challenges and fears that make us human. That is my philosophy in crafting novels.

           I knew when growing up I would be a writer.  From an early age in Winder, I was a dreamer, walking down the dusty red clay dirt roads of the Bush Chapel section, of this small Northeast Georgia town, while watching the cars motor on the Hog Mountain Road.
        Every evening I heard the whistle of the Southern Railroad trains passing through Winder creating a nagging longing to know the destinations of the trains.

One day, when I moved to New York City travelling on one of those trains called the Silver Comet, I would see the world outside of this small southern town. It’s been a journey that I’ve told in newspaper articles and now as a published author.

 Here are reasons why you should really read my books.

1. 1.      Writing from the heart and Personal Growth!

       There are so many rewarding challenges in writing a book. By expanding your philosophy and sharing it with others, you’ll find inevitable growth. You will learn so much more about yourself and others you will want to write another book while you are completing the first one!

        We write not just to change the world, but to create a new world. This is a perspective I share in my body of written works. I develop new ways of seeing the world and how our experiences shapes us mentally. Some people run and exercise, some people play sports, but I write to create healthy mental moments for myself and my reader.

1. 2.      Books to help people reach their writing goals!

         Do you know what it’s like to go out and sign books? I do. It’s an exhilarating experience that only a few people understand. Once your book is published, the door of opportunity will fly open. You will meet people you never thought you would. Further, people will want to work with you and learn your story.

           Books form a unique perspective of experience and knowledge to help others avoid the errors and the mistakes you failed to overcome in reaching your goals.

          For example, Jumpstarting Your Inner Novelist is a self -help book based on nine years of teaching Creative Writing at Atlanta’s Evening at Emory University Writers’ Studio, writing five books and going through the treacherous publishing process.

           People should read, learn and use the knowledge I present in my non-fiction books and how the characters overcame problems in my fiction books to learn and grow as writers and readers with a broader understanding of the world.

1. 3.      My Books of fiction based in real places, especially the Julius J.E. Thompson Trilogy!

              It is a good feeling knowing people are buying my books. Not only that, but those sales can lead to bigger opportunities. I write to entertain and tell a good tale in my novels. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain in writing a book. Personally, it has been one of my greatest and most rewarding achievements in life.

               I create characters that build relationships, face challenges, overcome fears and live their lives in my novels. I want to create teachable moments, but in entertainment form that capture and keep the readers’ attention. This is the best way to share an idea or story that matters. And if it matters to you, maybe it’ll matter to others. Because the book you actually write is better than the one floating in the dream world of your mind.

            In conclusion, you should read my books to see characters living their hopes, facing challenges, overcoming fears and working hard to reach their dreams.

Today's one word prompt from The Daily Post is Footsteps. I thought about this for a while and realized that for some people, being able to walk and leave footsteps is a challenge. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a good set of legs and feet. I know this for a fact because I adopted a wonderful son  named Abram who has spina bifida. As a preteen and teenager he was a world class wheel chair athlete, especially in shot-putt , discus, and javelin throwing . He is getting married this year to Maggie, one of his competitors, and I couldn't be happier for them. The picture is from Maggie's Facebook photo album.

Part of the science fiction novel I wrote involved the protagonist losing both legs above his knees in a freak accident. My solution to this almost overwhelming problem was to project new technology in the field of prosthetic legs. Below is the chapter in the novel that deals with how these new legs work. I hope this technology comes to pass, and soon.

Chapter 15 - New Legs

      When the prosthetic legs arrived, Emily scheduled Sted for surgery. The latest prosthetic devices were attached surgically. Gone were the days of the simple mechanical devices that simulated the missing limb.
       Above the biomechanical knee joint was the latest in medical technology. A 3D-printed carbon matrix hollow shaft was designed to slip over the severed femur bone. Then a calcium-based paste containing osteoblast cells from Sted’s original surgery was layered over the matrix to stimulate bone growth. The body, in effect, created its own glue by building bone tissue around the carbon matrix shaft. Once the prosthetic was joined to the bone, it sealed itself in a bond as strong as the original bone.
      That was only the first step in the procedure. Next, the severed muscle and nerve tissue in the preserved stump was married, via stem cells, with the specially prepared ligament and electronic fibers in the prosthetic. The electronic fibers were connected to the processor embedded in the lower portion of the prosthetic. This allowed the actions of the lower leg and foot to be programmed to react to the stimuli from the brain through the nerve/fiber interface.
       Just two days after the surgery, Sted was working with his physical therapist, Alice Wheeler, in programming the new legs.

      Alice could be very intimidating when she wanted. Her dark hair was pulled back into a bun to keep it out of the way of her work, and her eyes appeared to be almost too big for her face. This may have been due to the startling amount of mascara she wore and her long eyelashes. Regardless of the reason, Sted knew those eyes missed nothing. Now he knew what people meant when they said they felt like they were under a microscope.
      They started with simple movements.
       “Okay, Captain,” Alice said. “I need you to imagine each simple movement in your head, and then I need you to direct your body to execute that movement. Let’s start with the left foot. I want you to imagine you’re pointing the toe of your left foot toward me. I have initialized the processor in the left leg to read the electronic signal coming through the nerve/fiber interface in your thigh and to react by pointing the toe. Now,
point your left toe at me.”
       Sted obeyed just because he had nothing better to do with his life right now. He was sitting on a cushioned table in the PT suite dressed in a light blue form-fitting top and shorts. When he imagined pushing his toes forward and pulling his heel back, the muscles in the thigh reacted ever so slightly to accommodate that motion, and the nerve/fiber interface was stimulated by his brain. The fuzzy electronic signal the processor received was recorded and associated with pointing the toes.
       “Works,” Sted reported laconically as his new foot pointed in a delayed reaction.
Alice nodded as she typed something on the keyboard that was connected to wires leading in to the heel of his left leg. “Now, imagine relaxing the foot. I have programed it to return to its normal position.”
       Sted let off on the pushing motion in his mind, and his thigh muscles and nerves reacted again. The movement of the foot back to its normal position was delayed slightly once again as the processor made the association between the fuzzy electronic signal and the desired reaction.
       “Okay,” Alice said, “this is a first level association between your body and the prosthetic. When you try to point that foot again and then relax, the reaction should be immediate. Why don’t you go through several repetitions and see if the reaction of the foot seems appropriate to you.”
       Sted tried several times to cycle his foot from pointing and then back to relaxed mode. The foot responded immediately this time, though in a somewhat mechanical fashion. He was also surprised that he got feedback from his heel moving against the top of the cushioned table.
       “What is that feeling I’m getting of the prosthetic heel moving against the top of this PT table?”
       A big smile lit up Alice’s face. “We have built skin-like nerve sensors into the prosthetic that provide feedback to the processor, which slows down the signal enough for the nerve/fiber interface to pass the information back to the brain. It won’t take your brain long to map the returned stimuli to the feelings it got from your original nerve cells that relate to touch.”
       “Does that mean I will eventually be able to feel everything my prosthetic legs and feet contact?”
       “It is not an exact science at this point,” Alice replied. “The human brain is very adaptive and can usually fool itself into thinking that the returning nerve pulses come from what it thinks are your original legs. It takes time and practice, but we hope you will get the same results as some of our other patients, where the interface becomes almost transparent. We will just have to wait and see how your brain adapts.
“At this point, there is no nuance programmed in for doing this at different speeds, or doing it with or without moving the toes or any of a dozen other variations. We need to program in all of the gross motor movements first. We can program the fine motor movements once we have all of the larger movements settled.”
       “Why do you have to connect wires to the processor in the leg?” Sted asked. “Wouldn’t it be easier to do that wirelessly?”
Alice nodded. “Certainly, but how would you like someone to be able to control your new legs against your will with a simple wireless connection? Those leg processors have to be completely isolated and only responsive to your nerve/fiber interface. Once we finish programming your new legs, you will take complete responsibility for your own security. You will password protect the hardwired interface so that even I won’t be able to
change the programming against your will.”
       “So, when can I start walking?” Sted asked with the first sign of hope in his voice.
       “We can’t begin walking practice until we test out all of the gross motor skills from the knees down. It’s going to take at least two days of trial and error to get all of your gross motor movements programmed. In particular, when we work our way up to knee flexing, we have to be careful with the bonding between the prosthetic and the bones and musculature in the thighs. We don’t want it to tear because we’ve not programmed the reaction of the prosthetic properly. You’re going to have to show some patience.”
       Sted sighed. “I’ll follow orders while you do the programming. I really need to feel whole again, and I’m not going to do anything to slow down this process. What’s next? More motions with the left foot, or do we program the toe pointing in the right foot?”
“I’m going to program one leg at a time so you don’t get any ideas of trying to go off walking before you’re ready. I know your type, Captain!” Alice smiled. “We’re going to program rotating the left foot clockwise and counter-clockwise next. Then we go to toe curling and then wiggling your big toe. So, let me enter clockwise rotation. Now, rotate your left foot clockwise without rotating your hip joint. We’re just working on foot movements at this point.”
       The two of them worked the entire morning on Sted’s left ankle, foot, and toe movements. Then Emily came back to the lab and placed Sted on his gurney and wheeled him to his room for his lunch break.
       Sted hardly noticed the food he was consuming. His emotional state was very fragile, and he felt like his life was at a tipping point. He had been depressed and despondent from the time he first woke up after the accident until he “felt” the heel of his prosthetic move against the top of the PT table. That odd sensation had sparked an insane hope that he could climb back out of the disaster his life had become. His life goal had seemed completely beyond his reach until now. But if he could learn to walk with his new legs and even “feel” sensations passed back to his brain from the sensors on the surface of the prosthetic device, then there was no reason to think he could not command a space vessel once again.
      But then doubt crept in, and he whipsawed himself back into despair, because he knew that naval regulations prohibited him from commanding a ship. The interstellar ship that was about to be constructed would be under the command of a United Space Navy captain, so how could he possibly gain that position?
       By the end of the meal, Sted had reached a decision. He would do everything in his power to get back into a captain’s chair, in or out of the Navy. Once there, he would prove his worthiness despite his injuries. To hell with the regulations! They weren’t written in stone. They could be changed, and he would make every effort to do just that.

I really slept in late this morning. By late, I mean well past 12:00–noon. But then, I was up well past 2:00am finishing two more chapters in my book. Many 2s and wells there. Synchronicity?

Once I am writing “in the zone” it’s difficult to break my concentration and stop typing.

“Leave the rest for tomorrow,” is not in my vocabulary. By mid-chapter, I am driven. Forget food and water.

I’m quite content in my self-inflicted jail cell.

This driven feeling is more than work ethic or time restraint. It is emotionally based. Painful memories must be dragged out of hibernation, (often kicking and screaming,) from behind locked mental doors, convert them into word and sew them to page before they can snap back into the dark bowels of my mind like a bungee cord. It is much like reluctantly remembering a nightmare months after having had it–a struggle on many levels.

So why would I inflict such masochism on myself?

How does that saying go? “Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.”
Your journal can become the skeleton for your book. My notes from my first battle with breast cancer helped me live through stage 4 the second time. Those journals and memories became my emotionally packed book.

My story is unconventional, but not unique. It must be told. I won't give up.

Doctors are human. Scientific tests are only as accurate as the people who perform and read them. Life is not infallible. But Inner-guidance from dreams validated in the waking world just might be.

My second book is more than halfway complete because I have my own style of cutting out my literary pattern and sewing it together with a running stitch that can be removed to make adjustments.

I write the beginning and ending of my book–then fill in the middle. This also works for blogs and articles.

By using this technique, I always know where I am and where I’m going with a story that is filled with impassioned twists and turns. It gives me a mental edge–no floundering around in the dark while retrieving dark memories. I never feel like I have wandered off the books path. Rather than holding one tread of the story’s line in my mind, I have two. This extra balance anchors my writing so I can interject humor yet not wander away from the serious nature of the main theme.

Writing a book is much like sewing a garment. 

Somewhere between the beginning and the end product, areas no longer fit. Some seams must be let out, others taken in, and extra material trimmed.

But, I always save my scraps because they could be the collar of another adventure.

• Tip 2: "Secure the time and space in which you compose. Keep everyone far from it, even the general population who are most imperative to you." — Zadie Smith

• Tip 3: "Present your principle characters and subjects in the main third of your novel. On the off chance that you are composing a plot-driven kind novel ensure all your real subjects/plot components are presented in the primary third, which you can call the presentation.

Requiem For A Beautiful Lady

1) Accuracy

I had been attempting to enhance my velocity for a considerable length of time and I was not seeing much change. When I backed off and began being more exact as opposed to attempting to sort quicker I began seeing an increment in my writing velocity. I feel more in control also. Regardless I have an approach to go for my own objective yet am satisfied to see that I am presently enhancing and unwinding more.

Figure out how to be precise first then enhance speed. Since on the off chance that you commit errors all the time the more it will take you to sort. Each time you delete takes longer than if you back off only a bit so you can sort precisely. Regardless I commits a great deal of errors yet I understand when I back off to be precise I really tend to sort somewhat speedier.

2) Practice

For new typists: Practice. Write, write as much as you can. Take some essay help service and write. Get used to the home keys work to the point where you don't have to take a gander at both what you are writing, or your fingers on the console.

For cutting edge typists: Practice. Create muscle memory for writing certain sorts of ordinarily utilized letter parings. Distinguish the mixes of letters for specific words that give you inconvenience and work on writing them specifically to the point where you no more need to think while doing as such.

My tip to enhance you're writing rate is to rehearse frequently, as well as practice effectively. Attempt to dispose of terrible writing propensities and supplant them with great ones. For instance, you ought to utilize each and every finger when writing as opposed to depending on the utilization of fingers with which you're generally agreeable. Full use of both hands is important to accomplish your most astounding writing potential.

3) Stretching

At the point when my wrists get hardened from writing, I get my fingers with one hand and extend my arm to full length and draw on my fingers back gradually. I then, extend my fingers by opening and shutting them, twist my hands forward and backward, and pivot my wrists.

on the off chance that you feel somewhat sore on the fingers or knuckles, simply put your arms up high, and wriggle your fingers (just do this if your fingers feel sore. ) and if your knuckles hurt simply put your left hand into a clench hand and do likewise with the privilege. With the base of your left clench hand, tap the knuckles on your right hand and the other way around.

4) Know your console

My tip to enhance you're writing pace is to feel for the "F" and the "J". As most know, those are the letters you feel for first on the console. As time passes by, and you figure out how to sort without looking, you won't even truly need to "feel" for the "F" and the "J" you will simply take in the console.

It is additionally imperative to acclimate yourself with the console you are utilizing. - This is vital as, on the off chance that you can outline console out in your brain, you wont need to turn away from the screen to find the key you require. This would likewise minimize time spent between getting your numerous contemplations onto the screen before loosing them (once more).

On the off chance that you are typing 60 wpm or higher, and need to show signs of improvement, and not get carpal passage: purchase a mechanical console. I utilize red switch that I purchased for both gaming/writing, and following an hour of writing, my fingers still feel fine. I wouldn't prescribe red for most typists- - It doesn't have the input that other switch sorts have, and takes a while to get used to not bottoming out the keys constantly.

5) Rhythm

What is imperative is adding to a cadence, not to hustle, but rather to be exact, first-need. Rate falls into place without any issues with practice and time. Further, one must push one's self to perform better, yet recognizing that productivity just is built up, alongside adequacy. In shutting, one must figure out how to sort just what one sees/peruses; never show signs of change the words, unless, obviously, it is an altering ... activity/test. One just sorts what one sees or peruses!

" Civilization - The West and the Rest" is a non-fiction book in which Niall Ferguson gives his view of the major Western developments that helped the Western civilization rise over the rest but also the cause of the Western decline.

The catching title of Niall Ferguson's book “Civilization - The West and the Rest" made me decide to  read it. The topic has always been interesting to me. How to define a civilization? What is meant by ' The West' or 'Western civilization' and to what extent the Western civilization has been dominating the Rest, or dominated by the Rest.

Ferguson defines Western civilization (The West) as more than 'just a geographical expression. It is set of norms, behaviours and institutions with borders that are blurred in the extreme.'

 In contrast to the 'first version of the West - Western Civilization of 5th century AD ' that stretched from the Nile Valley to the confluence of the Euphrates and the Tigris and reached its peak with 'Athenian democracy and the Roman Empire', the current West consists of 'Western and Central Europe countries (excluding the Orthodox East), North America (excluding Mexico) and Australasia.'

One has to have some knowledge of history in order to be able to follow and understand the content and dynamic of  major developments described in the book.

Ferguson describes the rise of the West above the Rest in six chapters. He names them using the language of today's computerized world: "six killer applications" that allowed ‘mankind originating on the western edge of Eurasia ' to dominate the Rest of the world for some five hundred years:

These applications are:

1) Competition - Both political and economical. 15th century England compared to technological superior Ming China was primitive, violent and in constant war, for instance.   But the fierce competition 'between states and within states' led the West to the Age of exploration and innovations.

2) Science - From the 16th century on, the West experienced numerous scientific innovations and discoveries that also made its military technology superior .

The political and economic competition of the 15th century gave the West an important advantage over China, while the West's 18th century innovative, strategic thinking and firepower defeated the Ottoman Empire and gave the West the primacy over the Orient.

3) Property - Ferguson argues that British colonization generally produced better economic results than Spanish and Portuguese. He writes that North America succeeded while South America lagged due to profoundly different individual property rights, the rule of law and the representation of property-owners in elected assemblies.

4) Medicine - the application of modern medicine in healthcare. Almost all the 18th and 19th century medical discoveries were made in Western Europe and North America .

5) Consumption - an industrial revolution based on supply, innovation and a demand for mass consumer goods;

6) Work - a work ethic that included more productive labour with higher savings and capital accumulation was applied and realized first in the West.

These are six western made "killer applications" that, according to Ferguson ,  have enabled the West to project its influence and power to all four corners of the world for centuries. It was so well done that most of the world copied and applied them.

If it worked so far, why then are we talking about the fall of the Western civilization ? And why is it not working any more now?

Ferguson doesn't give a straight answer to these questions nor is he easy to understand or to follow in his explanations of Western decline.

As a professor and historian Ferguson describes the Western path of eventual decline not just through events in world history but also through intensive social changes, attitudes and mindsets of the West. He uses statistical data and quotes political leaders and authors to explain these changes. The book also contains a number of pages of illustrations and pictures and an extensive bibliography.

It took me a while to finish reading the book. Even though it is not an entertaining read it certainly gives the reader enough content and fascinating facts to think about when searching for the answer about possible Western downfall.

The West is in a hangover phase now, associated with economic crisis and wars, while the Rest, having "downloaded" the above mentioned Western applications is slowly getting economically stronger. Ferguson reminds his reader that "most cases of civilizational collapse are associated with fiscal crises and wars," and sees China as the future dominating civilization.

In conclusion, Ferguson argues that one of the causes for the Western collapse is to be found in our own loss of faith in the civilization "we inherited from our ancestors'... in our own "pusillanimity" and in the "historical ignorance that feeds it".

Whether there be a clash of civilizations or whether the West lose its primate quickly to the Rest is yet to be seen. To everyone though who wants to refresh his or her knowledge of five hundred years of world history, this book is highly recommended.

Jasmina Agrillo Scherr knows about resilience. Her life has never been easy. But her challenges as a child molded the spirit of the strong woman into one of love and healing.

As a child, she felt different from the get-go because she sensed and saw what others couldn’t. Her mother--manic, depressed and irrational--wanted to take her to “head doctors.” Jasmina suffered through illness and appendicitis—while living with a mother who was “a walking time bomb.”

 As a teen, her best friend suffered a mental breakdown.

On the Kathleen O’Keefe Kanavos Radio Show aired every Wednesday from 6:00-6:30pm on the Wicked Housewives On Cape Cod Radio Network, Jasmina shares with the listeners why:

• she left home early
• and made  her way in Maine to earn a fine arts degree –putting herself through college while working a variety of jobs.

But the challenges did not stop there.  Next came:

• a rocky and unfulfilling marriage.
• a brain tumor that nearly killed her and made her fight to regain her full mental and motor skills.
• And lastly, a heartbreaking divorce.

 Jasmina knows about resilience, but she also knows a life filled with spiritual blessings that include:

• a loving son and late in life,
• an adoring husband.
• the beauty of connecting to the world beyond this reality,
• serving others,
• and being guided toward the light whenever at a crossroads.

Jasmina Agrillo Scherr has walked a difficult path and then held her hand out to others. Her book Mirror of My Soul, Sanctum of My Heart will lead you on an International Odyssey that offers healing and wonder.

Her book Mirror of My Soul, Sanctum of My Heart, is a spiritual memoir and inspiring treatise on how heart-resonance, intuition and resilience can get you past the tough times and into the thrive times!

Mirror of My Soul, Sanctum of My Heart brings readers to a new level of awareness for their own potential. Readers discover:

• How to pay attention to their dreams and other signs of guidance

• How to make life easier and less intimidating through heart resonance and Heart Time

• How to recover from divorce with grace, strength, forgiveness and self-love

• How to find inner strength, wisdom and guidance to persevere in the face of adversity

• How to find resilience and buoyancy -- to thrive though and after the difficult times.

For more about Jasmina Agrillo Scherr and her programs, visit: www.jasminaagrilloscherr.com.

Mirror of My Soul, Sanctum of My Heart, $15.95, is available at www.jasminaagrilloscherr.com.

Jasmina’s passion for helping others is born of her compassion for the pain and suffering in others.

 Having lived through personal upheaval, illness and stressful conditions throughout much of her life, she wants to aid others in finding their path to peace, joy, health and spiritual connection.

About the author and radio show guest: Spiritual pilgrim, yogi mystic, HeartMath® Licensed Coach, and Light Energy Healer, Jasmina Agrillo Scherr has more than 25 years of experience inspiring people the world over on how to access and use the power of their heart to impact consciousness, health, performance, creativity and relationships.
