Maggie’s complexion was neither pale nor tan but a shade somewhere in between. She had a delicate, oval face with a small nose, upturned at the tip. Her pink lips were thin but not too thin, and her cheekbones were oh so subtle. Her long, dark-brown hair lacked even a hint of waviness. She was by no means ugly, but she was by no means gorgeous, either. She was simply plain. No one had to paint her a picture.
Whereas your readers need to be hit over the head with it.
Introduction
Welcome to my book, There and Back There Again by Andy Alsup ~ Village Savant.
My story has a few themes:
– technology
– music
– culture
– Seattle
– religion
– Aspergers
– schizophrenia
– psychic musingsI write a lot about my daily experience. It primarily revolves around my ongoing conversation with a variety of voices I hear in my head. I call this experience a couple of things. It is psychic. It is a network of identities. It is public. It is hilarious.
This is an introduction to give you an idea what I’m talking about with the conflict oriented stuff I write, and what I call chipmunk.
I hear voices. They are best described as auditory hallucinations. Sometimes they’re identifiable. Sometimes they’re words in my thoughts that don’t have sound, they don’t belong there, and they’re clearly someone else’s words.
I have called them a psychic phenomenon. I believe these are real people. They sometimes identify themselves. Sometimes I can hear who they are. Almost always they lie about their identity. They are always consistently wrong about people I know. They attempt to be identified as these people for a variety of reasons, but mostly to try to establish credibility because they have none and to attempt to manipulate.
I always tell the voices I will not accept them trying to do that.
I call the voices chipmunk because they sound squeaky, clown car because it’s one after another, and douchebag because they’re intrusive and self satisfied losers.
The reality is that the attempts to manipulate are trying to control me or lure me into doing something for reasons they are never honest about.
The voices are abusive, hostile, immature, and nonstop nonsense. They are factually wrong about everything. They lie about their motives, their information, their coordination with each other, and people that I know are not how the voices describe them.
The voices constantly attempt to indicate they are interfering in my life or are people I would want to have input from. They do this for a variety of reasons but it comes down to stupidity and probably people just wasting their time who have nothing better to do.
Sometimes they describe this as entertainment. They say they watch me either through their computer, or that they experience the same phenomenon I do in their head, and they see me remotely. I don’t know what that is like. I do sometimes see people doing things, and I can sometimes hear their thoughts.
I have the ability to give them words I make them say. I can also give them thoughts, or make them do things.
I sometimes smell or feel things that are also psychic.
The voices are real people behaving badly.

sa·vant saˈvän(t),säˈvän(t) noun
a learned person, especially a distinguished scientist.
synonyms: intellectual, scholar, sage, philosopher, thinker, wise/learned person
~~ People have asked me about the choice of the word savant for my Facebook page.I’ll put it this way. Genius doesn’t cover it. I’m beyond that.
Savant indicates epic level wisdom in an area that also accompanies a deficit.
My savant is people.I can see your soul at a glance. I can write and speak words on every day topics that make you stand with applause. I can talk you under the table with logic. I can explain the universe in a few words. I can make science deliciously funny, 12 hours in the brisket lab with a pbr. I have done it all with technology, and I can take you into the future. I am fluent in music and film that people resonate with, but can’t remember why. I think things that happen because I think them. I can change your words in your mouth. I know what to tell you to freak you out or calm you. I can describe you to yourself in ways you know but never knew.
I’ll need your help to meet a girl.

So it’s not about hobbits, then?

Shut up and take my money.
A curious chronicle based on some true mysterious and compelling life events of the author who experienced some unusual phenomenon in his life. His ex-wife claimed they were abducted by beings who were not of this world. He was unaware of them until he melted their instilled memory blocks.
I really have nothing to add.
Stephen King has been prolific writing since childhood. It is known that his father was also a writer. Years after leaving home, Stephen King found a box full of manuscripts and novels, which belonged to his father. Could King find in that box all the ideas of his books? This little book will get you out of any doubt.
Stephen King started writing at the early age of eight years old, me, influence by his work, started writing my own stories thirty years later, I think we share the same passion for writing. The trick is to know fear on every angle. Through the next years and during all my life, I have analyzed every single work of Steve and I’ve come to the conclusion, that we all become his fans, that Steve is the king of the literature of psychological terror.
But why read one of his books when you could read this one instead?
In a world where fathers are not only absent, but often ridiculed, it is refreshing to find a man who will stand up, despite his failures, to protect and save his children. Such is the case with John Randall, a broken man trying to put the pieces of his shattered family back together.
With John’s marriage torn apart by his own self-indulgence, his teenage son, Matthew, is left to find refuge in the online world of fantasy – his mind becoming so entangled in the duality between what is real and what is fiction that his soul becomes united with delusion and falsehood.
Is didacticism a separate genre now?

So… Characters? Story? Specifics of any kind? No?
Schrdingers cat was an infamous and cruel thought experiment dreamt up in the last century to expose one of the mistaken ideas current in science at that time. Now the cat is out of the bag and, in revenge, he has written up his own ideas on the false trails that modern science has followed. With time to spare he has worked with a number of strange authors to collate this varied and thought-provoking anthology with themes varying from the Falklands War, LGBT, Eastern religion and even Russian spies in the Sub Continent.
Double typos in the first word of the description? Edgy.
