The above picture is from our original test marketed socks, inspired by my first novel, Bobby's Socks. Our collective goal is to create a hybrid not-for-profit sock company. From the novel, the character, Bobby, was calmed down from his thoughts to harm himself by the physician's colorful, warm socks, she gave him several pairs to put on if he was feeling negative. It was a simple therapeutic solution. And the idea generated from real Epi genetic science. Unfortunately, I know what the character Continue Reading
Is there a magic success gene?
Seriously, I think there IS a magic success code hidden within our helical shaped DNA strands. Let me be specific, there are those among us who are gold medal winners at the mercurial DNA Olympics. Personally, I would be content with being a bronze medalist, think about it; at least I got on the podium stand, right? But that is not true, I am highly competitive. I would get bummed if I busted my guts out, and did not win the gold. And then the Olympic committee did not play my countries fight Continue Reading
Zigzag Timeline Interview
I want to thank Mary Fan at Zigzag Timeline for interviewing me. It is a wonderful site for emerging author's ... I have attached the interview below. http://zigzagtl.blogspot.com/2014/02/author-interview-nathaniel-sewell.html NS Continue Reading
Dumb Starbucks
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dumb-starbucks-shop-appears-las-678728 After I read the above link from the Hollywood Reporter, I had two words appear in my brain, Lemmings and 'ubiquitous'. As in, if you read the story, there is a line of 'lemmings' waiting to get 'free' coffee and pastries. Obviously, a few folks decided to have a little fun with the ubiquitous coffee symbol. I suspect they will get a nice, legal appearing letter in the mail from Starbucks advising them to 'cease' Continue Reading
The Golden Ratio
The below link is for a Wiki article about Salvador Dali's - The Sacrament of the Last Supper. If you read toward the end, the writer notes that Dali used, the Golden Ratio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacrament_of_the_Last_Supper What's the Golden Ratio, you ask? I will let the Wiki folks put you to sleep from the below link. It has a lot of basic information, and if you have read, Fishing for Light, you might get a chuckle based on several of the Continue Reading
The Ecumenical Council
I had an interview question concerning the influences for Fishing for Light. As I shared in the interview, I used to live in Florida, and have visited the Dali Museum several times. Over the years, I was drawn (excuse the pun) to several of Salvador Dali's masterworks. In particular, the Ecumenical Council, the Hallucinogenic Toreador and of course, the 'Clocks'. But I want to focus on the Ecumenical Council, I provided a link below if you want to take a look at this amazingly complex Continue Reading
Jerome Internment and 14th Amendment
Well, I was not sure what next to share about Fishing for Light. And then, as if by magic the attached article appeared from the Washington Examiner. What is the old saying, 'truth is stranger than fiction'? I suspect the Millennial Generation might think it hard to believe that the United States built internment camps, but, under the Roosevelt Administration, they did. In Fishing for Light, Professor Quan's father was shot dead trying to escape from the Jerome War Relocation Center. If you do a Continue Reading
23 Enigma
As I was writing Fishing for Light, I could not make up my mind as to Eddie Wilcox's age. And then, I stumbled upon the 23 Enigma. The reason? I happened to be reading about William S. Burroughs. At present, I reside in St. Louis, Missouri, and he happened to be from St. Louis, so I was curious about his life. He was a lead part of the Beat Generation, and wrote, Naked Lunch. It is a wild ride for the reader, and the cross connections with the number 23, and Eddie representing the Millennial Continue Reading
Professor Quan’s, Waldo
Any self-respecting mad scientist would have a trusted pet, right? Of course, the stereotype is for the scientist to be, EVIL, black eye-patch and hiding within a subterranean lair waiting to take over the planet. But Professor Quan is not evil, and he is not mean, he is a man on a mission to eradicate Ms. Prosperina. To me, that's the connection between Professor Quan and Captain Lovins, it is about personal responsibility, they understood it was vital to their mission to hide, and remain Continue Reading
Pure Love
"When Professor Quan realized the government used his genetic starter to create Ms. Prosperina, he devoted his life to eradicating her by spreading the universal bond within humanity’s genetic code, pure love." Fishing for Light - from the book description. Pure love? Fishing for Light is a satire, so it should be funny, and absurd at the same time. Right? But I added a serious note, as in, what is 'pure love'? I will not tell you how Professor Quan finds, pure love, that would ruin the Continue Reading
