I’d like to give a shout-out to my son: author, veteran, mathematician, and adventurer Nestor Walters, who has recently opened a new website called Sword Circle Pen. As his website’s “about” page says, he was born in Bangladesh, raised in Greece, and spent ten years in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge, he earned an M.S. in applied science with a minor in creative writing at Stanford. He has researched tsunami wave effects on Antarctic glaciers; studied Russian, Chinese, and Spanish; and conducted science diving in Monterey Bay kelp forests.
One of the new website’s features is a look at his environmentally-themed fantasy novella An Earth Day Eulogy, which you can find more details about at this link.
Nestor also introduces and provides a link to a series of tutorials that he created with Next Step Inbound. Although these are specifically crafted for veterans who want to pursue higher education, the tips are useful for anyone who needs to write personal statements, supplemental essays, and resumes that will impress college admissions officers. As of this writing, eleven tutorial videos are available, and more are on the way.
So stop in at Sword Circle Pen, have a look around, and maybe order a copy of An Earth Day Eulogy. You won’t be disappointed.
