Being a conspiracy theory fiction writer, you can imagine how difficult it is living with me. My saying is this:
It’s hard to live with a thriller writer because we’re always imagining the worst case scenario.
But in the case of this news report (see video below), a little paranoia can be good.
According to reports, a mysterious priest came to the scene of a car accident and at the request of the victim who was trapped inside the vehicle and about to reach a critical juncture in the rescue attempt, prayed for her and two other emergency workers. A miracle ensued.
The day after President Obama toured an Amazon fulfillment center facility in Chattanooga, TN, Amazon released a free Kindle Single with an interview. During his visit, the President gave a speech on jobs and corporate tax rates. This happened as Amazon announced its plans to hire over 5000 new full-time employees. The controversy arises from the independent bookstores and other retailers who consider Amazon’s pricing “predatory.”
Being a writer, you can get stuck in your own little world and lose perspective. As I’ve said many times, it can be a lonely business.
But as soon as I arrived, I knew things were going to be great.
I was never really a fan of zombie stories in books or movies. Watching re-animated corpses go cannibalistic was just never interesting to me in terms of entertainment. Perhaps, for some reason, I thought these stories were “supernatural” in nature, making it creepy on both the physical and spiritual levels. But then, I learned that it could also take on a SciFi, or speculative fiction angle, as it did in I AM LEGEND, and it didn’t necessarily involve reanimation of corpses…
