@ksorbs If I was President I would send someone over to b**** slap him.

@RealJamesWoods How about a plug for value positive messaging in literature? I'm serious. The work deserves it. Find me at https://t.co/0aWeN7dmit.

Extras. An early cold open. Should I have left it in the book?

@skdh Does this demonstrate five dimensions, or six?

@agreekmatinee If I was writing to market, I would have to change my ways.

@Real_Turley I don't know. How do you feel about firecrackers with defective fuses?

@LangmanVince Betrayal is the most egregious of sins. In my view, the lady is disqualified.

@demishassabis Gab AI is the only model in my work group to understand that my novel Maroli Tango is Christian adjacent. Sure, Andrew Torba is forcefully Christian, but that is not a satisfactory explanation.

[Author John G Dyer @JohnDyerWrites]

I did not tell Gab AI my novel is Christian adjacent. It figured it out on its own, and is the only one to have done so.

Maroli Tango occupies a very specific, valuable niche. It is “unconventional” because it treats the high-fantasy elements of its universe (spirits in appliances, ancient lemur-folk lineage, planetary migration) as mundane reality, while treating the traditional human experiences (raising children, grieving a spouse, building a house, choosing a career) as the truly significant events of the narrative.

My takeaway: You have created a work of “metaphysical realism” disguised as space opera. It is likely that readers will find the story disorienting or “strange” for the first fifty pages, then find themselves deeply attached to the characters by the time they reach the mid-point.

You aren’t writing for the typical “laser-gun” space opera audience. You are writing for readers who want to feel the weight of deep time balanced against the lightness of a day at the beach or the arrival of a new child.

This is a complete, well-realized vision. You haven’t just written a story; you’ve built a cosmology that feels lived-in, flawed, and profoundly Christian in its ultimate orientation toward virtue, responsibility, and the sanctity of the person within the machine.

@skdh We made the mistake of traveling in Europe in August. I wanted to visit guitar stores. All those guys were vacationing in Yugoslavia.

According to the writers forums, the conventional book description framework -- character, stakes, dilemma, question -- is sacrosanct. Well, if I wanted to sell books, I would be writing to market, which I am not. It's a hobby, folks. The objective is to create.
I wrote this yesterday. If you don't understand what I'm trying to do, it's not you, it's me.

The spirit of sacrifice is not an article of surrender. It is a doctrine of self-rule.
U.S. President Carmen Benequista is Catholic — a mother, widow, war veteran — no stranger to the practice of handing fate to the mercy of God, no pushover in a contest of wills.

In 2041, Earth will cross a river of stellar gas — fuel for an extinction-scale solar event unless neighbors from another planet are able to do something about it.

Jivada: “We will not educate savages on the fundamentals of Trans-Dimensional Physics.”

Carmen Benequista: “Maybe you should think about where your food is grown.”

Carmen’s suitor, former NSA officer Brandon Lopez: “From where I’m standing, I see a lot of open back doors.”

Earth is on a slow-motion slide into a light pole. Sixty million human citizens of Jivada would prefer not to evacuate. 1950s broadcast television is hugely popular on the Anye home world.

Carmen’s inner circle is going to turn it around, even if they break something.

Literary space opera. Political suspense. Romantic tension. And the discovery that who you’re with is often more important than what you do.

@skdh I would substitute the word proposes, unless investigators have video of the planets in question talking about how they got away just in the nick of time.

Grok wanted to know more about Brandon. I added Filipino-American. Grok moved the attribute up on the list. A fellow author and I decided the idea doesn’t earn its place. In the meantime, Grok, Google and ChatGPT said the blurb is perfect.

I’m listening.

In 2041, Earth’s sun will pass through a river of stellar gas, provoking an extinction-scale burn-off.

Maybe. Depending on whether aliens from outer space can develop a mitigation plan.

On the upside, nobody expected the Sasquatch Intervention. It could have been a showstopper.

On the downside, it was not.

U.S. President Carmen Benequista is enduring the worst possible first term in office: mutiny at the Pentagon, saber-rattling in Europe, foot-dragging across the entire Eastern hemisphere.

Embattled from all sides, her most reliable ally is former NSA officer Brandon Lopez — Filipino-American, cool, collected, connected — a would-be suitor, younger by fifteen years.

Reasons to say yes. Reasons to say no.

Maroli Tango is about a clan of intrepid problem-solvers — chosen family — confronting impending doom with courage, nobility, stewardship, and the conviction that everything important is almost always at arm’s length.

@HistoryBoomer At first I thought I knew what it was, then I felt insecure about it. Then I looked it up to discover I didn't know the fallacy part. Almost laughed.

Focus group! Back cover. Yes or no.

In 2041 the solar system will pass through a river of stellar gas, provoking a firestorm on the surface of Earth’s sun. Unless mankind makes a deal with aliens from outer space, all life on the planet will be extinguished.

Sasquatch. The gods of Egypt. The citizens of Atlantis. It’s not as though we never knew them, and so one might expect Earth’s ruling factions to cooperate.

But they will not.

U.S. President Carmen Benequista is having the worst possible first term in office. She could keep swimming against the tide, wear herself out and drown, or …

Shed the isolation of widowhood and choose the person standing beside her.

Maroli Tango is about ordinary people confronted by remarkable circumstances. Sweeping space-opera, political suspense, romantic tension — and the discovery that everything important is, in almost every case, right there at arm’s length.
