As an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fiction I have often found that the best of these genres has an air of possibility.  Sci-fi enthusiasts nerd out over books like The Martian, by Andy Wier, (I included) because he took the time to ensure that math and engineering worked or at least was highly probable.  Countless blogs and pages are dedicated to disproving or proving Mr. Wier’s claims abound!  For the nerd, (again I am looking in the mirror) this is entertainment at its finest, for the rest of us, we just smile as they then pull out their 20 sided die and ask us to join in a quick game of D&D, but we politely decline and say, “let’s do lunch, no that’s ok, I have your number, I will call you.”

With this in mind, I have taken this one step further and thanks to the advent of the hyperlink, I have added evidence to the hypothesizes I present in these pages as supporting documentation in the footnotes in all books.  I reference, locations, intellectual papers published, works of art, as well many, many cultural references that are embedded in this story, which I believe adds color to our otherwise dreary, black and white existence. 

 I have done this as a higher level invitation to not just provide an entertaining story, but for those so inclined, invite you on this writers journey that has taken me over many years to produce.   If you are intrigued, then clink the links in the footnotes and dive deep.  Follow me down the rabbit hole while we attempt to unearth the truth.  If not, ignore the footnotes enjoy the story for the entertainment it was meant to provide.  Either way, I hope you are fascinated!

Be forewarned. Reading the footnotes first is the mother of all SPOILERS. So please don’t. I know by saying this many of you will charge ahead and pursue the site. Just let me ask you this. How would you have felt about Dolby if you knew his outcome, or if you knew in The Sixth Sense that Cole could “talk to dead people” in BEFORE the opening credits?

I have spent YEARS of my life in an attempt to write a story that will illicit a range of emotions from you, for my your enjoyment. Therefor, I highly recommend to read books in order and look at the footnotes for each book either while reading the book, or after you finish for a deeper dive, because the real truth of the matter might just be something different than what you currently believe.

Or don’t, and simply enjoy my visions of fancy that what started as an idea, has very much become my muse.

I sincerely hope you enjoy!
