The I.S.A.I.D. FOLIO is a project that really had no beginning. It is a compilation of works that I have created over a period of time dating back to 1991 when the picture of you was penned. Since then I have written the charts and other songs, but without funds to record, needed a way to bring the works to light. The idea of writing a novella to give insight and context to the songs became the winning concept to which adding the photos became the cherry on the sundae. I liken the experience of this book to that of reading purple rain or any other such film about musicians. Entrenched, the novella, is far from being a literary masterpiece, rather a trashy story that provides a utilitarian soap opera backbone from which to hang the music

Who knew that finding a rare book would also involve running for her life? When Poe Baxter fled her job as an English professor, she was thrilled to be launching into her career as an antiquarian book dealer with a trip to Edinburgh. But she soon finds that her queries into a particular book’s provenance are drawing some less desirable attention to her and her best friend Beattie. Not everyone is interested in sharing this particular story. Will the women be able to discover the book’s origins without bringing about their own ends?

Greg Bear is one of the greatest science fiction writers of the late twentieth century. He has a powerful voice, combining the intense rationality of science with the intensely passionate characters that can only be created by a writer who loves humanity. Bear’s novel Moving Mars won the Nebula Award in 1994, and he did it again, in 2000, with Darwin’s Radio. He has been honored with Hugo and Nebula nominations for novel-length work eight more times. But Greg Bear’s short fiction is even more astounding, as this powerful career retrospective demonstrates. This collection contains Bear’s earliest published fiction from the late 1960s and early 1970s as well his remarkable award-winning work from the ‘80s and ‘90s—stories like the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella- length version of “Blood Music” and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winner “Tangents.” This Collection is enhanced by brand-new introductions for each story, commentary, and reminiscences by Greg Bear.

DIVDIVThe everyday insanity of life at a fictional literary review/divDIV The journal Belles Lettres has a long and storied history, which is what enticed young editor Frank Page over its threshold in the first place. But Frank did not anticipate the infighting, backstabbing, and utter oddity that are all business as usual at the respected magazine. Still, nothing can match Frank’s thrill at discovering a new literary phenom./divDIV But the book industry seems to be on the decline. Integrity is going extinct as conglomerate giants gobble up smaller organs and trample innovation and daring into the muck of commerciality. At least Frank’s position gives him a front-row seat at the publishing world’s fight of the century, as deposed editorial icon Jonathan Margin takes on self-serving corporate overseer Newbold Press in an ink-splattered battle to the death./div/div
