Writing Interest. My interests cover a broad stroke: writing, reading, photography, the sciences, history and music. The psychology of working with people creates opportunity for lifestyle embellishments in the world of fiction that includes many forms, science fiction, and mystery are but an example. At the same time, this allows the resource of the mind to look beyond the stars for tomorrow’s future. There are no limits, be it above earth or below the sky and even underneath the blue waters. Drawing from history, photography, music, or even the sciences guide the interests that become captivating. This moves the person into that facade. Current events turn into history that guides the future by allowing the thought process to move into the next stage. Creating concepts of what the mind’s eye sees is what a writer’s life replicates. Every stop, every thought, leads the intellect to continue. Technology with imagination completes the cycle of a writer; this evaluation has grown through many years of put words into a deep desire. Writing is never a lonely art form if you allow it to enchant what your perception offers. My rules in the creative process have increased through time similar to vintage wine. There a good years and there are acceptable years, but the strength is always moving forward. This never stops until there is no path of air running through the body and spirit. With life experiences, began the creativity of the psyche. Love what you create and it will love you back. That is essential. Drawing from infrared technology, satellite, space travel adds the far-reaching concepts of where the mind leads. Success can’t be the only measurement in acceptance of a publisher or a.k.a. agent. Accomplishment has meaning that comes from the heart and soul of an inner most drive to release what only you the writer can accomplish freely and with emotion. This creates the variety of who we are and how we feel about our freedom. We never should allow others to crush a dream. Favorite Authors that I have read and continue reading. Steve Berry, Sandra Brown, James Patterson, David Baldacci, Dale Brown, Dan Brown, Michael Connelly, Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler and Christepher Reich. Classic Authors: Joseph Conrad, Franz Kafka, Ernest Hemingway, Arthur Miller, Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, Boris Pasternak and Eugene O’Neill. Thank you for taking the time to read my website and best wishes.

Threshold of Consciousness
Experience a new journey that touches the senses of life. This book is an intricately woven story with profound insights into the deeper meaning of the role of responsibility, teamwork, quality in work, relationships, loneliness, love, and loss in life. Joe Vojt has mastered the visual imagery that reaches out to the reader through a rhythmic and poetic stream of thought, within the quality-manufacturing arena. The story of Threshold of Consciousness follows Clay Zerner after the death of his beloved wife, Renee. Clay sat knowing he must move and get into action, but he couldn’t get himself motivated. Then the phone calls started and people began walking in. All had quality related questions that required some form of resolution. He began mumbling under his breath, “How strong can any person be in this environment? I guess I had better get moving. Stan is right. Not only are our problems increasing, but they never seemed to get solved.” Just when he was about to get up, Bray Durek from the material’s department walked in and sat next to his desk. Clay watched her movements and with his trademark smile, “What brings you in so early?” She showed a certain tenderness in her voice, “Just wanted to see you.” Bray’s eyes kept jumping with excitement, and a faint smile could be seen. Clay ignored her comments. “How was your weekend?” “I missed you. Why didn’t you give me a call?” “You know I didn’t even think about it. I got tied up with some cleaning. Keeping to myself still has value.” “You know, Clay. I find that strange.” She stopped, looked at him and continued, “I understand you are having problems with life, but I’m trying to help if you would only allow me.” Clay responded quickly, “You know work isn’t the time or place to talk about my personal feelings.” “I understand that you can’t find the time on the weekend or during the week or even at night after work. So what do you have time for?” She got up, turned around without saying another word, and walked out. Clay sat there wanting to say something but couldn’t. What would work be like, if Renee . . . Stopping he felt his emotions surfacing, and his thoughts rang through his spirit, Renee, I need you, I miss you. The phone ringing shattered his thoughts and people continued walking in. They had pressing questions that required some form of response. Never hearing anyone’s questions, he answered the phone, “Hello.” Contact at: write4success@snet.net should you have any feelings about this industry.

Enduring Prophesy
Enduring Prophesy is on an alien world (ours). Our modern earth culture progressed into the self-destructive mode of runway radiation, biological misuse, global warming, and chemical pollution. Covers the desert region of the US southwestern. While the sky symbolized a contemporary presence of despair, energy of all forms, including oil, natural gas, and plant life became outdated. Night and day divided two species and by sliding past each other, both went through life undetected. It contains sections of vivid adult content while celebrating the reality of life with psychological introspection. Technical background for this novel was extensive that began in 1990. Example, “Infrared radiation is naturally emitted by all objects because of the thermal agitation of their molecules. This motion increases as the object's temperature is raised and decreases as the temperature is lowered. Since all molecules are made up of electrical charges, the oscillations of molecules caused the radiation of electromagnetic energy. When the electromagnetic energy emitted by a source reaches another body, part may be reflected, part may be transmitted, and part may be absorbed to cause heating.” Infrared emissivity of an object is not equal or even similar to visual human emissivity. Skin or clothes do not influence infrared radiance. When radiation travels through the atmosphere, it is mostly in a non-uniform matter. This minimum loss is known as an atmospheric window. Radiation received from any object has a given wavelength with three quantities, self-emitted radiation, surface radiation that reflects and some that does not. The sun's power had to pass through a caustic barrier of chemical vapors that had multiplied. Light continued squeezing through those gaseous fumes, and became lost. Day and night where now collectively tied into one. I used a mosaic configuration to construct the Triskalon skin, because it had to have many minute particles of sand that would insulate each layer of skin from each other. Plus it had to be incapable of being penetrated by the normal forms of radiation. A series of equally spaced parallel layers of skin formed an angle of dispersion. Something like a fish scale but high tech. Actual blocking was accomplished by spacing of the skin. When the light radiation was larger than the layers, diffraction would not occur, thus creating an invisible mass or in my novel a person. The following technologies were also included, optics, image motion, a phenomenon known as pulsation and were gases absorb particles at the same time scatter. Gases passing through air density at random turbulence can result in some image restoration. Particle visualization helps to synchronize some of the incipient deformation. I weaved holographic techniques with fiber optics concepts for visual impact. Every day that passes in this sun baked earth you wonder about cosmic dreams that could have cultivated strong ties with the mineral outcasts of the earth sedimentary soil.
