Chapter 27 is up. Although the genre of this story is "science fiction," part of the "fiction" is definitely not the Liberator. It's real, as is the backstory given here. The young man who published the Liberator's blueprint was, I believe, a student at the University of Texas (where else?), and the governmental reaction was as outlined in the story.When I first read the story I had in mind working it into my own writing somewhere, and this worked out well.
With diligent research you can probably find the blueprint somewhere if you try; as I wrote, the toothpaste can't squeeze back into the tube. It's certainly not a weapon that even the most devout right-winger might choose, but I guess if you're sufficiently paranoid you might covet it. Still, don't count on it as your armament to resist government "tyranny." It fits nicely in the story, though.
Well, the title poem gets a look-in in Chapter 26, but that's not really why I chose the title. Movin' on with the story.
Chspter 25 is up.
Ir recently had an e-mail asking if I was posted elsewhere other than Amazon; the writer isn't a big Kindle fan. No, sorry, just Amazon; seven novels beyond this one, including a trilogy. I've considered posting other places, but all I've mastered technically is Kindle and SOL. Thanks for asking.
More than halfway through by now. Thanks for reading.
Sometimes as a writer you get surprises. When I first thought of him Fred was simply a plot convenience. Then he started to interest me; he came alive in my head. The same thing happens later on to another character (you'll know). Everyone has his or her own story in life, of course, but it's so in fiction, too.
