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

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."
