Life
This story is about the 5th or sixth times I did Melbourne Assessment Prison. I was given a bottom cell because I got given a billiard job on Spencer Street, and everything was going sweet until this young person, who had a grudge against me for some reason, kept coming around my cell. First, he tried to make a move on my shoes in his cell with three of his friends. He asked me if he just took my shoes off me, what would I do. I told him he would have to wipe the blood off them first, and he was debating with me whether it would be his blood or my blood. I just said, "find out," then he left.He came back by himself with a ping pong ball full of matchheads but only abo...
How life experiences have contributed to The Summer of the Ennead - Part 2
Learning discipline in writing.I have three graduate degrees and each one contributed to my being able to write decently. It was not always so. A common response to my first term examination results as a freshman was that I did not write clearly. In my entire high school experience, I had never been asked to write an essay. Is it any wonder that I did not know how to write clearly? I had completed my first master’s degree and had just begun my second, when, finally, a professor very candidly told me that my writing stunk – my word. So, I asked him if he could help me. He could and he did, and I never looked back. What I had lacked was a disciplined approach. Thankfully, he taught me that...
How life experiences have contributed to The Summer of the Ennead
Introduction.At the end of the Afterward and Acknowledgments section of The Summer of the Ennead, I wrote, “This story is the result of the life I have lived. It would not have happened had I not lived it the way I did with both its successes and its failures, and I could not have imagined it at any other time in my life.”In that short passage, I acknowledged the power of failure in my life; failure can be a great teacher whereas success tends to make us complacent. I am sorry for my failures, but I am grateful for what I have learned from them. I also know that I could not have imagined it at any other time of my life because I had tried and until January 2022, it just was not ready to ...
How did The Summer of the Ennead come to be? - The Process
The story has been with me for quite some time, perhaps as long as fifteen years or since about 2008. In one of the initial plot ideas, I mentioned that I did not have any grandchildren yet, so I can be sure it was before my eldest granddaughter was born in 2010.I had a kind of vague idea about a group of special children whom I referred to as “Aurora’s Children” at that time, because Aurora was the Roman goddess of the dawn and also of childbirth. In fact, I wrote, “Legend says that every 1000 years, there will appear an ennead of related children with exceptional abilities. These children will change the world.” Interestingly, at that time, I don’t think I was fully aware of th...

Something About Ann
When he heard footsteps, he turned to observe Ann walking stiffly down the corridor. “What happened?” he asked as they left the station.She folded her arms, looking behind her before speaking. “I fought John.”“You?” Bankston stopped to stare down at her. “What about the other man?”“There was no other man.”Bankston looked at her, cocking his head. “How? Why?” he asked as they walked up Marloes Avenue toward her car.“He was going to kill you. I saw it in his eyes. I know these things.”“But how did you...?”“I kicked him. I hit him. Then I took his club and beat him with it.”Bankston leaned against her car, his eyes widened in bewilderment, while Ann spoke in ...

WERKSTATTENBERICHT VON RAUNEGGER BENJAMIN
Bei mir entstehen bereits durch visuelle Reize Geschichten. Bei einem Korsikaurlaub sah ich an einem Haus eine Jahreszahl und schon fing ich an, in meinem Kopf einen ganzen Roman drum herum zu entwickeln. Ein anderes Mal schoss mir das Bild im Kopf von einem Mann mit Sommerkleidung, der im Schneetreiben aufwachte und nicht wusste, wer er war. Und schon entstand wieder ein ganzer Roman daraus, welcher der zweite Teil einer Trilogie werden soll. Diese beiden Ideen, so wie sieben weitere, müssen noch niedergeschrieben werden.Im Gegensatz zu anderen Autoren, muss bei mir der ganze Roman schon grundlegend im Kopf fertig sein. Für den Roman, „Der Mörder aus der Zukunft“ hatte ich den Gedank...

This Guy Walks Into a Bar
Drawing Fiction From Real Life: How My New Crime Thriller Evolved Like the protagonist in my new crime thriller, This Guy Walks Into a Bar, I was once asked to ghostwrite a book by the mistress of a notorious crime boss. Unlike Joe Campbell, the everyman Average Joe from TGWIAB, I backed out, mainly out of fear.But, over the years, I've often wondered, What If?On a cold, rainy night many moons ago, I sat in a threadbare booth in a dimly lit bar across from a mysterious woman who just had to have her story told. Through the haze of smoke rising from her endless drags on a cigarette, I listened in awe as she regaled me with her fantastical stories.My initial thought was that...
WILL AI MAKE AUTHORS OBSOLETE?
By Andrew G. BergerThe fear of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence has been as old as humanity's longing to simplify their lives, enhance their capabilities, or even – as "homo deus" - create a new life form: Artificial Intelligence. Professor Yuval Noah Harari describes this process and its potential consequences in his book "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow." His concern is that artificial intelligence might not make humans all-powerful but rather render them obsolete. The best-selling author predicted in 2016 that AI might create a 'useless class' of human: "I’m aware that these kinds of forecasts have been around for at least 200 years, from the beginning of the Indus...
