SWEET NOTHINGS
I’VE always loved that phrase, and am oh-so-pleased to devote today’s post to what I consider one of the most precious attributes of humanness. There’s no one key word here. It’s about affirmation, positivity and loving kindness, without any hidden or further agendas. Okay, so it might be flattery, but who doesn’t like a bit of flattery now and then? Having survived life to this point, don’t each of us deserve a bit of flattery to warm the heart and melt away those myriad demands of daily living?
In some ways, my new multi-award-winning, Amazon genre bestseller, Sci-Fu (yes, “fu” for futuring rather than fiction or fantasy) novel, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor is exactly that: A Sweet Nothing. No agenda. Neither utopian nor dystopian, but simply a peek into a wholly plausible future in which Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.
Adventure? Romance? Love? Erotic? LGBTQ? Hedonistic, you say? Well, perhaps. But like Sweet Nothings, don’t we humans deserve a bit of “hedonistic pleasure” having had to fend off the “Blue Meanies” and “Green Apples” constantly being tossed at us throughout life? And, while admittedly, unbridled hedonism without regard for others can hardly be considered a Sweet Nothing, a bit — a little bit — is, well, in my mind, quite refreshing to the mind, body and spirit.
So, you could say that THE EDGE OF MADNESS is actually a Really Sweet Something: A readers’ treat in a world that doesn’t often offer anything without an agenda.
