On Fiction Writing:
"It's recycling reality. It's like a long lie you tell a psychiatrist. It's a
hideout for Truth. It's beauty. It's bullticky. It's everything you can feel,
compressed into words. It's the music an elephant experiences in the soles of
his feet that tells him there's an earthquake a thousand miles away. It's a reason
to believe in God when reason tells you there is no God -- or visa versa. It's
what I believe in and who I am." --Ernest Hebert
Don't miss out!

Amazon.com Description of "I Love u":
"Adam and Eve for the Future or or No Future at All?
Suppose you could transfer who you are, your memories, your desires, your feelings,
your self-awareness--you--into a better, more capable, more attractive and potentially
immortal body, wouldn't you go for it? That's the starting point for I LOVE u.
This is the story of the Beta models, Wiqi and Luci. When Wiqi (Williard Clements)
is eleven he and his parents, scientists studying the world's dying forests, fall
out of a hot air balloon. His parents are killed, and Wiki's broken body is kept
in a deep coma by Dr. Mordecai Taliman, the genius behind "Transfer." After five
years, Dr. Taliman transfers the boy's mind and identity into a completely bionic
body that resembles a teenage boy. Luci is a prototype of a slave robot that will
serve the new breed of humans. If the experiment works Dr. Taliman has promised
the board of billionaires who have paid for his research to transfer their identities
into perfect bodies. Once the experiments on Wiqi and Luci are complete, they
will be destroyed. But Wiqi and Luci escape. Besides avoiding their pursers they
have personal problems to overcome. Wiqi has the body of teenager, but the mind
of a lonely, 11-year old seriously dyslexic boy. Luci holds the emotional and
historical records of the human past inside of herself, but she has no free will.
The worst of it is that Wiqi and and Luci have no souls. Before they can deal
with their own relationship and overcome terrible feelings of emptiness, they
have to find their souls. What Wiqi and Luci don't know is they hold the destiny
of the human race."
