This is a fun story that I wrote as a farewell to the city where I have lived for thirty years, a city that I'll soon be moving away from.

With poems laced with realism, honesty and reflection, he invites the reader into his mind as his poems depict experiences and perspectives of life intricately presented and unveiled in three acts. Act I: “The Interlude” speaks to a generation, inspiring liberation and a new perspective calling readers to be intellectually stimulated and seeks to inspire a movement of independent thinkers. Act II:“Rib Caged In/Paper Clouds” speaks of, to and through the emotion of the heart. Act III:“Conversations with my soul” is a depiction of the depth of the writer. He allows readers to explore his deepest thoughts, and navigate his inner being. He is bold, vulnerable, rational. This anthology caters to a wide variety of poetry lovers in a thought provoking expression of the cycle of life. Each segment speaks to a real audience. Poems are candidly written, yet subtly evoke sensitivity. Views: 301

'Revelations' is a collection of futuristic and thought-provoking science fiction stories by Pam Crane.'Revelations' is a collection of futuristic and thought-provoking science fiction stories by Pam Crane. Two of them - 'Clouds on the Horizon' and 'Never' are written out of her decades of experience as one of today's most adventurous astrologers. 'Desert Island Disks' came out of her love of the long-running BBC radio programme - but there's a real castaway with a surprise in store! 'Pioneers' and 'Celebration' take us off-planet into other worlds; one is Mars, where there has been a catastrophe, and the second is a mysterious world that challenges its human visitors' tenacity and entire belief-system. Back on earth for the other four stories and four end-time scenarios, 'The Happiest Day of my Life' takes us into a post-Solar-Flare world - in stark contrast to 'Silver' where everything has frozen, 'The Greening of Terra' and the restoration of oxygen to a largely deforested landscape, and 'The Future of Fish' in which one tiny baby proves to be the future of humanity as the oceans rise and drown the continents. 'Intervention' could be set in any time - its superhero saves the world by terrifying the terrorists. Views: 301
