EQUALITY and THE MONSTERS IN POLITICS
This is a quote from my Sci-fi Novel, XPERIMENT about EQUALITY...but it has so much to do with politics right now... we need to gear up for this battle..
"Let me explain why the politicians who write laws against Equality are criminals. Because when they say that any of us are not equal they are setting themselves up as would-be masters with us as their slaves using the law as their whips. They are saying that human rights are only for them by declaring that everyone different is less than human. This was said before and history reminds us of the dictators whose policies to enforce this concept created death camps as a solution for difference. It is clear who is wrong here. It is clear who the criminals really are."

Trolls, Trolls and more Trolls..
Just wanted to give a heads up to those of you reading my sci-fi novel Xperiment... Even tho this is a work of fiction, like most science-fiction it is a morality tale examining our culture, it's belief systems and politics. So WARNING... this book is political.. It eviscerates what is happening in politics today and because of that has become a target for right wing nutjobs. This last week when one tried to post a profanity laced incendiary review on one of the book sites and was rejected, went on a campaign against the book, my photography and me on all my social media. My FB was shut down most of yesterday... my galleries were besieged with hate mail. I and others have spent the better part of the last two days reporting and blocking these people. But I wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you are harassed...do not hesitate to report them on the site where you are being harassed.
My apologies if it happens...
Peace

COLLEGE GUYS SAY....
Talking with a group of college guys about my "SICK" (as in good they tell me) sci-fi novel XPERIMENT. So for those who don't know what the book is about here's a quick thumbnail before I tell ya what the guys are saying: A brilliant young scientist creates a pill to "make people extraordinary." It's side effect is that it creates a new Evolutionary Species superior to man that can "smell evil in the blood of humans." Their instincts take over and they begin to hunt those they can "sense" are the bad guys.
What the college guys are saying:
"I would like to see one of these creatures climbing Trump Tower right about now.."
"Congress would be like a dish of Alpo for these things.."
"I'll bet one of these is tracking Palin all the way back to Alaska.."

This is what makes Writing Worthwhile!
From my mail just now.. had to share..
Mr. Skinner, our mutual friend (Dirk) talked me into reading your s/f Xperiment last weekend and I don't know where to begin. I stayed up two nights and almost missed work reading it. I didn't know what to expect going into this book and all I can say is Imma Stephen King fan but this is like Master King on five Red Bulls backed by two Monsters. I couldn't read this thing fast enough. I loved every second. I loved every thing that happened. I want those pills. I want those pills now. I want to be one of those creatures. Is that crazy? I want to be one of them. This book is why we hero worship monsters. I'm already rereading it. Yes! Yes! Yes! More please!
