One, not of political interest though.

You?

3. That's pretty cool. It's how you make your living, I guess?
Mine was a side project. It was published as a very limited edition so I didn't really make any money from it. Mine was genealogy related. My next, if there is a next, will be political.

What genre were yours?

5. I write
the oral history and traditions of 3 Native American tribes for the FBIA. Two have no written languange and have only spoken, oral traditions and history. One is a nomadic tribe with an incohesive history.

I also write poetry and do some research protocols for Encarta.

2. written, and/or published?
I've written a long, well written book, but never want it published. That's why I put my periodic thoughts here.

The Great American Novel:

It was a warm day, it was a cool breeze.............

6. 4
2 Fantasy (looking for pre-pub readers)
1 Magical Realism (ditto)
1 Adolescent Coming of Age Romance no clue where to sell it markety thingy. (Interested in seeing if anyone else has any interest in it.)

This is what I do instead of practicing head shrinking. The pay's terrible, the hours are bizarre, and it makes my book habit really impressive.... but it's all research, right?

Working on: a polemic on parenthood
A series of satires on politics (a la The Onion)
A short about 3 bombers in prison talking about philosophy (inspired by a real incident)
the 3rd in the Fantasy series
A Hard SF about neurological enhancements and the wage-slave economy

ALWAYS looking for first readers, so if anything interests you, please pm/email me....

Politicat
