I hate the dark. That's why I spend most of my time in it. I love antiques and anything old that was good. Everything new came from everything old. The computer came from the typewriter, the mp3 player came from the phonograph, and the abominable snowman came from the Himalayas. The Himalayas are fairly old.

Hakkımda: The second book relaying my adventures is now out in the Tocsin Codex series.It's called EEREY TOCSIN ON THE UNDERWATER ISLAND:
Submarines run by laptops connected to old-fashioned typewriters! Giant squids and Kraken! Ottermen and gorillas! Talking gorillas. Talking gorilla sea captains. Kevin Noel Olson's "Eerey Tocsin on the Underwater Island" is inspired, steampunky fantasy for kids and adults alike. And the talking gorilla sea captain had me at 'hello'."

Here is the first book:

FOR YOU MY FRIEND ... A POEM FROM THE LUNACY MACHINE
HERE IS ...
I called in sick to work today;
Sometimes that’s not so bad.
My head is stuffy;
My body’s achy;
My hands and legs are kinda shaky.
My eyes are weary and sort of blurry.
My sinuses, too, have started hurting.
My nose is dripping; my stomach bloated.
My cheeks, in fact, are kinda swollen.
With that, I called in sick.
I thought the average flu for sure.
Who wouldn’t with what I’ve got?
But something told me it was more than that
When I turned the TV on.
There were riots in Virginia.
There was looting in New York.
They were declaring martial law in towns I’d never heard before.
They were interviewing doctors who had learned of a disease,
And they mentioned that the plague began in Nashville, Tennessee.
Then they interviewed a patient who was pointing at his eyes. He said,
“There are spiders all around us!
They’ll lay their eggs inside us!
These spiders here are poisonous!”
Then he dropped his hands and died.
'City Smells' is a new literary project set up by the Edit Red Writing Community.
We are running three writing competitions, Flash Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry, all with the theme 'City Smells. The winners of each of these competitions will win $100. But more than this, we will take the best work from each competition and compile a paperback 'City Smells' anthology. The writers who make it into the 'City Smells' anthology will each receive free copies of the book and be paid a royalty in book sales.
To submit to these competition and stand a chance of being published in the 'City Smells' book you must be a member of Edit Red, as the submission process is automated. Joining Edit Red and entering these competitions is 100% free. If you make it into the book, we will pay royalties based on book sales.
Edit Red has existed for many years and was created and is still managed today by non-fiction author Alan Emmins, creative writing teacher Chris Lee Ramsden and literary reviewer Sean Merrigan.
If you are not already a member, we hope you will join and take part in this great literary event. Sign up here for free!
Spring is sprung, and so has the Spring Issue 2007 of The Smoking Poet, online now! Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, cigar and book reviews, links and resources for writers as well as cigar aficionados, and an interview with Ingrid Hill, author of "Ursula, Under."
