Book Scribbles: July 2015
http://bookscribbles.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Will the Real Vulcan Please Stand Up. The second book in the interplanetary steampunk. Adventures of Capt Robert Folkestone and Sgt. Felix Hand is available in print. A complication in writing the story, but it had nothing to do with the characters or the plot. No, it had to do with Star Trek. Professor Lewis Swift- Astronomer and Searcher for Vulcan. Vulcan, the other. Vulcan. What Vulcan would that be, you ask? You can't find it?

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Thursday, December 18, 2014. Learning to Read by the Colors. I attended Highland Elementary School in National City, Calif., through third grade before moving to Chula Vista and starting at Lauderbach Elementary. I've mentioned elsewhere. Your marbles), and I would be moving on to the upper level SRA Reading Lab (yes! I had big plans for fourth grade, but the best-laid plans of mice and schoolchildren oft go astray. In the summer of that year, my parents moved...

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. The Afterlife of HP Lovecraft. 20 August 1890 - 15 March 1937). But when Lovecraft died of cancer in 1937, was that really the end for him? Perhaps personally, if his beliefs were correct, but not for his name, his stories, or his ideas. It may not be reincarnation in the tradition of our Hindu brethren, but HP Lovecraft continues to touch minds and change lives 115 years after his birth. Question: "Have you ever read HP Lovecraft?

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Thursday, October 2, 2014. For everyone who collects, accumulates or hoards books, there eventually comes a point where you have to shed books. No doubt, if you fall into one of those three categories, you have changed residences at least once in your life, meaning you already know what it's like to lose friends and/or family. The last time I moved (which was the last. Set that takes up so much room.hint. Ralph E. Vaughan. Links to this post. French magazine P...

Book Scribbles: The Art Nouveau Books of Henry van Dyke
http://bookscribbles.blogspot.com/2012/06/art-nouveau-books-of-henry-van-dyke.html
Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Thursday, June 14, 2012. The Art Nouveau Books of Henry van Dyke. I have a fondness for Art Deco design, the angular streamlining so familiar to fans of the Poirot. British television series set between the Great War and the Not-so-Great War, but I have a weakness. It was my weakness for Art Nouveau that first drew me to writings of Henry van Dyke (1852-1933), specifically a copy of Companionable Books (1922). By companionable books I mean those that are worth...

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Monday, October 8, 2012. 60 (yes, 60) Years of Bond. Oh my, all the hype and hoopla about 2012 being the semicentennial or golden jubilee anniversary of James Bond, Agent 007 with a license to kill and thrill in defense of the British Realm. Life Magazine. Has even risen from dormancy to publish a special issue dedicated to the man with the Walther PPK and all those tricky cars; if you're a fan, I greatly recommend the Life. The problem is, this is not. Writte...

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Sunday, July 8, 2012. Leslie Ford's Fall from Grace. Leslie Ford (Zenith Jones Brown). Since none of them read much of anything, and especially not period fiction which is my forte, I have to commit a visual sin to arouse their ire - The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu. 1952), however, I am safe from their hateful predacity.if they only knew! In 1931 and her last, Trial for Ambush. Or The Speckled Band. Ah, perhaps you begin to understand why the Ministry of Political...

Random Thoughts, Random Books, Random Minds. Saturday, February 21, 2015. The Rise and Fall of Dream Quest Books. She thought I might be having a heart attack, but I was just responding to the name. Prior to leaving high school for the cruel world of adulthood, I was introduced to the writing of H.P. Lovecraft. And Professor Challenger in The Secrets of the Dreamlands. My discovery of Lovecraft was at the time less than a decade in my past, so I was not only still greatly influenced by him, but I was fil...
