Hey all, a buddy of mine, Landon Crutcher, is super close to meeting his light publishing mark. All he needs is a few more orders to get there. To help him get there, please take a listen to his reading of his novel, Monkey Business, and you'll get a good sense of just how funny and smart this guy (and his writing) truly is:

DO YOU HAVE SYNESTHESIA?
I've gotten a couple of notes about folks here that experience some kind of Synesthesia, so thought I'd give you a little more on its various forms. It's pretty fascinating and they've only just begun to discover the way in which it shows up in folks. (Thus, 'The Hide')
Here goes...
* If you experiences letters or numbers with a specific color, you may have Grapheme-Color Synesthesia.
* If certain sounds trigger the visualization of colored, generic shapes, often squares, circles, that kind of thing, you may have Sound-to-Color Synesthesia.
* When a person thinks about numbers and a number map is involuntarily visualized, they may have Number-Form Synesthesia.
* Ordinal-linguistic personification is when an individual experiences ordered sequences with various personalities. Ordered sequences may include numbers, letters, months and so on. For example, a person with OLP may look at the letter ‘A’ and think in his mind that ‘A’ is a rude letter. (I discovered all three of my daughters have this while studying up for The Hide).
* Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia is when people experience a taste or smell with a certain phoneme or word.
I'd love to know if anyone here has one or more of these. There are a few theories out there that synesthetes tends to be unique thinkers and I can think of no more creative group than this one.
Hi guys, in the spirit of good karma, and understanding that a rising tide lifts all ships, I'm here to pitch a few others' work, including: Byron Gillan's Children of the Forest, Steve Soldwedel's Disintegration, Janna Grace's The Talkers are Talking (working title), and Landon Crutcher's Monkey Business. Please take a listen here:
COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MY FELLOW WRITERS: I'd like to offer those of you interested (say, up to the first 10 who're interested) an interview on my brand new blog, Words on the Outside. It's very simply a blog where I interview/record you reading about 5 mins worth of your favorite writing. Then I put it up here: https://wordsontheoutside.wordpress.com/
I love hearing authors read their own work and think this provides a new experience for their fans.
If you're interested, just shoot me an email at wordworker68@gmail.com and I'll get you scheduled over the next few days. I'm going to try to get these up for folks as soon as possible considering the pending deadline. Why? Because it's good karma, and it helps me get the ball rolling. (And I have a few authors already set and ready to record some of you might find truly exciting to listen to later.)
Thanks Leanne. I almost wish I could have posted other chapters. There's a pretty serious 'shock factor' regarding the characters. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Hi all, I've just posted a 2-3 minute reading of one of my favorite passages in Cancer Nation. It's from a later chapter, not posted. Thanks and enjoy!
