Yesterday Revealed Redux: The Florida Keys: Hubris of Pretension
In the 70’s, I ‘Let my hair down’, spent the better part of that decade down in the Florida Keys.
Key West, Big Pine Key, Marathon. Key Largo… Kayaked and camped the Florida Keys National Wildlife Sanctuary, kayaked from Key Largo down to Key West 3 times (9 day 150-mile trip)
The Novel = I wondered what I was going to do when I retired from GM: It became a challenge to myself ‘could I write about my experiences down in the Keys’… over several years I wrote bits and pieces of my experiences. I use to write MANY reposts and ‘white paper’ at GM, all very technical stuff. I decided it was time to ‘color outside the line’ and write a novel: nearly half of this book I experienced. So, I decided to write this current book, then it became a trilogy, which I am presently about two thirds thru the second book and a quarter thru the third book. I LOVED the Keys, but sadly am no longer capable of doing what I use to.
Writing this book, at first, was just to see if I could coherently write a sentence, paragraph, chapter, 80,000 words, 360 plus pages and see if people would like it.
Independent reviews were very good. So here I am, FULL SPEED AHEAD!
This could be more than a trilogy, depending on how readership takes to the ‘Theme’
‘Theme’ – Yesterday Revealed is based on, most of what we do is predicated on what happened yesterday, or the day before, or last month/year etc. I try to mix present and past – meld it into a story. Like my Logo says ‘Reading is the best way to travel’
I TRY to mix Adventure, Intrigue, Mystery, History, Philosophy and Romance into hopefully a good read.
I could go on, but I’ll leave it at this for right now.
