Maddy's Secret: The Search For Einstein's Lost Work (Book) - 12/28/2008 3:45:29 PM
Wow. I am hooked just by the title and the story description. I am the kind of person who thinks about this sort of thing happening to me at some point in my life, as I have met with the darker side of science and technology before. Or should I say they met with me. For example, seems they knew specific scientific things ...very to the point things things about what I thought, that I thought about on my theories, that I had never told anyone about before. Big Brother is real. Some of us like me, are in his of interest file/ to keep track of file/ to keep an eye on file. Rockie probably should keep my mouth shut...file, huh?Please read my bio and see why that might be. I am the real thing. I will put this one in my AD to purchase when I can. A definite read for me.

Maddy's Secret: The Search For Einstein's Lost Work (Book) - 3/5/2006 10:42:54 AM
Found the book to be very interesting. The characters were easy to visualize and colorful. The story progressed at a rate that made me want read "one more chapter", before putting it down. Very well written and thought out. Looking forward to the third one. JS

STay SAFE riding and I'm getting your book! Let me read the LIFE you lived SO FAR, my sweetie, cut his LONG (down to the middle of his back and in a ponytail most of the time) Working around P.C.s all day.. and looking down... and building Tube Amps/for Guitars.. is the reason, I miss pulling IT! at certain times... lol Smiling!

My List of 50 Things (Short Story) - 12/27/2007 5:33:25 AM
What a great list, Michael! And I absolutely love the idea of changing it as you find more things you would like to do. I think the movie "The Bucket List" borrowed considerably from you!

Stop and Remember Your Past (Short Story) - 11/30/2007 9:34:55 PM
Wow...speaking as someone born in the Nifty 50's, I can relate to the great memories here! :) Awesome write, Michael! And just what WAS that coyote doing with an anvil in the desert, hmm? lol Julie

My Dyslexia (Short Story) - 8/4/2007 6:32:14 AM
This is a wonderful article. I can relate because my oldest son had the same problems in school, even though they knew he had a high IQ and diagnosed the problem...even telling the teachers how to deal with it. They sent me a letter when he was in Jr. High telling me he'd never learn to read, so I taught him myself with comic books and the Bible. He now reads very well, although is a slower reader than some. Thank you for sharing this important information.

Awwwww...no reason not to read this book...only one problem though....to ship any book to this side of the world....makes it so expensive that by the time it gets here...being in deep trouble already the might just lead to suicide....lol!! But hey I would still love to read it anyways...just waiting to win the lottery!! Big smiles okay!! Love Tinka

My Dyslexia (Short Story) - 1/25/2007 6:13:51 PM
Very interesting write my friend, I as a teacher found the article informative and useful, I am anxious to check out the sites that you've listed. I have dealt with a several children whom were dyslexic and found it a challenge but one I enjoyed. Again, great write. Blessings, Joyce Bowling

My List of 50 Things (Short Story) - 11/14/2006 4:45:53 AM
Hi Mike, Retired military here with lots of medals and memories. Mine was a Porsche I drove in Germany for four years on open autobahns and mountains of Switzerland. Your list is similar to mine (minus the biking) that I did while traveling and living all over the world. Winning the bowling tournament (ABC Masters) was more exciting then most would believe. With your type and active imagination, your mind can accomplish as much if not more then your eyes. Harold

My Dyslexia (Short Story) - 5/3/2006 4:12:11 AM
My brother is dyslexia, and he has done the same as you,,actually I felt I myself related to these words, that I sent it to my brother, he having to walk the path same as you and many others. I did not know he was for a long time, his wife told me years later, she is the one who encourage him to "over come somewhat," he today is not the most succusful, but we are proud of him, enough to call him brother, (lol)he's grown up now, and runs his own computer shop from home. In school he and I struggeld to make that C, I even thought once, well since I am a little smarter, I'll try college, well I guess it's not meant for me to have a degree on my wall,,instead I have two granddaughters in my lap! There are many of those who have pitied theirselves because of a disability, it is great to see someone that has made it an worthwhile effort in not letting it lead into a path of living on the streets, A pat on the back and a salute to you,,keep the ink flowing,,clea

Nice list, shameless indeed. Happy trails.

My Dyslexia (Short Story) - 12/22/2005 6:39:10 PM
I'm a 74 year-old Dylexic person. I have never let it stop me. But I know the pain of the problem. There are other learning disabilities I have had to cope with. It has only been the last 4 years that I could talk about it, because other people felt that I was so smart. In my field I had people who did the writing for me. I can really teach better than I can perform. Thanks, for sharing this story. Love, Betty (I feel the pain now)

My List of 50 Things (Short Story) - 10/23/2005 3:47:26 AM
Well, from your list,Mike, I can say I have entered (and won) a bowling tournament, have never owned but ridden several Harleys (my sister's and my best friend's) and talked to my grandparents and written it down and have shared their memories with my own daughter. My own list is much shorter, but I'm finding getting those things accomplished is much more difficult than I had originally anticipated. It's been awhile since you posted this so I'm sure you've accomplished most of these by now. Debbie http://geocities.com/deb_conklin/dc.html

Stop and Remember Your Past (Short Story) - 8/18/2005 5:55:52 AM
"made ya look," or did we say "Major Look" and "Red, Rover, Red Rover let Blah-Blah come over" Glad I stopped by to read this impressive piece of personal history.

35 shameless reasons (Short Story) - 12/7/2004 6:36:14 PM
Michael, I could think of at least 50 other reasons to buy this powerful book, but none would be as persuasive as the ones you outline! I had the great pleasure of reading this book cover to cover and must say that if everyone in life read this book, we MIGHT just get along better with each other. I've made my list of 50 things and am still adding to it! As for Ed's creative suggestion that you stand a better chance of growing body parts.....well not sure that would be on your list of 50 things, but he sure is a funny son of a gun, isn't he? LOL I wish you only the best my friend. ~Rose~

Nikola Tesla Timeline - Legend, magician, sorcerer (Article) - 12/28/2008 4:14:13 PM
Please read my bio and several of my articles. The Philadelphia Experiment article that I wrote has some things you might be interested in reading. My whole life resonates around this subject. You must get back with me about this. Word is, that Tesla quit the project leading to the Philadelphia Experiment before it got off of the ground and they hired Von Neumann, because Tesla foresaw the lack of protection for the men on the ship as being very hazardous to them, but his warnings were ignored, and then wanted no more part of it. After the FBI FOI docs were posted (have you seen them!.) they were removed again, all over the net, including from the Franklin Institute site, were he received a medal and gave a speech there early in the 1890's. Good stuff still there, on Franklin site about him if you so a search, including photos of original documents about him, and from him and about his new AC work at the time. Interesting to see there at the Franklin, which I have been to and seen a handwritten lab notebook of Tesla's in the 1970's, his math there was all correct too) the point of view of those scientists reviewing his work then, and what they used as criteria to its importance.

Las Vegas Mystery (Article) - 1/21/2007 11:22:27 PM
I think you are onto a a great premise for your novel. It's my kind of story. Not for writing, but reading. Vegas history, celebrities, gambling, arson, Einstein, and government secrets. Concentrate on it and it will be better than "Da Vinci Code."

Excellent story Bro. Michael. Something like this, the ignorance of conditions that challenge our ability to read, reflect and grow in knowledge, is to me like knowing about HIV and doing nothing to share how to prevent it. Applause Applause! blessin's cynth'ya lewis reed

Michael, Thank you so much for highlighting an issue so often overlooked in society. I can only imagine if Einstein, Churchill, Agathie, or Edison had given in to the labels thrust upon them by people who didn't understand. Your article is informative, helpful and thought provoking and I hope everyone stops by to give it a read! Take care! ROse

Self Promotion (Article) - 10/23/2005 6:38:26 AM
Self-promotion is key to the marketing of an author's literary wares. This is an EXCELLENT article on keeping an author close by and always within reach of the wallet, you see, pulling out that business card that yet serves a dual purpose and pulling out those dollars that are stored right near that business card. Michael, this is an ingenious marketing gig! I also pull out all the stops of self-promotion, Authors Den here to be the big one! It is key to sell a personality. I am targeting companies who are after the pink dollars, the lesbian and gay community. I am offering my name for endorsements. As you know, I also have a Harley-Davidson project and I am marketing it to the straight community as well as the gay community. It all speaks the same language, the unmistakable sound of the lendendary Milwauke wheel, the Harley-Davidson ... potato ... potato ... potato...KICKSTART self-promotion in gear! Thanks for the inciteful article Michael. I wish you many sales! Sage

Self Promotion (Article) - 8/25/2005 6:04:34 AM
Well it's a year later from the other comments. But your article is still great! What a creative idea. I can't wait to see how I may implement it in my non-fiction genre. Best wishes. Hope you have sold tons of books.

Bravo. Yeah, I graduated from college just last year, wondering the last four months how I was going to maintain. I did, and I'm honestly not sure how. So, I've got a degree now... all so I could obtain a job (I love) making damn-near minimum wage. Enough already. Rant on, Michael.

The Liar (Poetry) - 10/30/2009 8:09:34 PM
You bend the facts for your own gain. How is it you feel no pain/ There's so much truth in this statement that is so about our society today. What could we do to change it? Living the truth ourselves as Jesus did. It can hurt to be a truthful person but for the long haul it will pay off. Honesty is still the best policy. lil flower
