Ever been chased by one of these? Or maybe it sometimes feels like you were chased by one. Well, you are not the only one!
Here’s a quick snippet from GOD GAMES that shows what happened after Yahweh (lost in the Garden of Eden) gets chased down by an angry warthog.
In GOD GAMES, all the characters are named after biblical angels, although I did take some liberties as is the norm in SciFi. In general, I used an angel’s name whose description came close to matching the trait of a particular character. Each playing card features two main GOD GAMES characters reflecting their role in the book and their relationship to each other. Check out this blog post for more information on how I named…
It’s been a while since my last post. But been busy preparing GOD GAMES for a December 2021 eBook launch. To that end, I’ve commissioned Jon Stubbington to create images of key GOD GAMES characters that shows their relative roles in the story. Wanting to have fun with the book title, I decided to present the characters as playing cards. See the post, “A New Book Cover and a Dark Side,” on how that idea…
~Seven Scientific Concepts of GOD GAMES~ The SciFi novel GOD GAMES explores the philosophical and competing aspects of an advanced scientific society with deep roots in religion and how this civilization can affect another less technically advanced culture. But driving the story line is science and technology. There isn’t time to write about them all in this post. So, I’ll just mention seven concepts with some examples in GOD GAMES. While they start out following…
So, in GOD GAMES, Yahweh is a geeky scientist married to Gwendolyn. Their romance is so deep you can say their relationship follows the Law of Quantum Entanglement. First discussed by Albert Einstein in 1935 then further developed by others, the Law of Quantum Entanglement basically says two separate particles, that have been properly conditioned, will know what the other knows and you can not described one without describing the other. Applied on a human…
Here’s a scene from my SciFi book GOD GAMES. This is from a chapter titled “Abram.” A little background here. Having chased Lucifer to Earth, Yahweh finds himself in a paradise like forest (later to be called Eden located in eastern Africa). But before Yahweh runs into Adam and Eve, a tall dark skinned village leader saves him from being skewered by a giant wild boar. Unable to fully decipher the elder’s verbal words and…
So who is right? Some religious folks might say that six thousand years ago some guy (yea ladies a guy) got a bright idea to create something to keep him company. Stephen Hawkins would probably disagree favoring a 13 billion year timeline and the method of creation was more like a big bang. He didn’t say whether a boy or girl did it. Then there’s Prof. Paul Steinhardt (Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton…
Authors put a lot of symbolism in their stories. These symbols can take many forms like a place, theme, and action. These symbols can even take the form of an odd juxtaposition of facts, background or situation to current events. For GOD GAMES, I took names from established folklore, myths and religion to create the characters, their moods and drive their crazy action. Now, using the names Yahweh and Lucifer was easy. Everyone understands the…
