What This Blog Is All About

I've got a few new short stories in production and would like to tell you about them. I will be keeping you up to date over the next few months as to where and when they'll be available.Though these stories are works of fiction, and will most likely be designated to the genre of "fantasy," all of the creatures, hominids, technologies, and landmasses portrayed therein once actually existed during the same time-period in our planets not-so-distant past. This time period roughly spans the last 15,000 years of what is known as the Ice Age, but is actually the last period of radical glacial movement on Earth.
Though the world I will describe within these stories will seem quite fantastic to most readers, I have endeavored to remain quite conservative and have stayed within the boundaries of main-stream science in relating possible events during this period of mankind's history. However, there is actually a great deal of evidence to support various theories that this time period was even more "fantastic" and "technologically advanced" than what I describe therein. This evidence comes to us in the form of "ooparts," "anomalies," and ancient historical and religious writings of the prehistoric world. In order to avoid ignoring such evidence while maintaining historical credence, I have designated such things to the realms of mythology, rumor, and oral tradition as it is known to the character in the stories. For instance, the reader may find within the dialogue of certain character innuendos to such controversial subjects as Indian "vamanas," advanced sonic technology, angels, aliens, metallurgy, alchemy, and even magic. However, whether these character are talking about actual historic events or simply relating primitive superstition and myth is left entirely up to the reader. My hope is that, while remaining within the boundaries of mainstream science, I have adequately conveyed to the reader the fact that our world was once as "fantastic" and "magical" as Tolkein's Middle-Earth, Robert E. Howard's "Hyborea," or Terry Brooks' "Shannarra."
In this blog I will share with you some of the interesting research I have done in order to bring this series of stories into fruition, and provide you with links where you may find further information and entertainment in the subject areas of fantasy and prehistory.Ah hell, I'll probably even post one whole story on here for you to test drive the genre...one of these days.
