Second editions of my first two novels

A while back I decided to do revised, corrected, & expanded versions of my two first novels. This is done now & they are linked below, available in second editions from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. Both originally from Oneiros Books back in 2015. They were very unsatisfactory versions, when I looked at them, but now I am finally satisfied with the various versions of the books on the Amazon & Lulu pages. It looks like Amazon already updated the things in a fit of incredible speed, for some reason. Find them on my Amazon Author page here.

Here is Henrietta remembers at this link.

& here is flesh & resurrection at this link.

Huge thanks to Emma for the covers, she is mentioned in both these novels, & inspired them &, basically, all my writing previously, which only started to become more serious after I met her - a meeting that pretty much changed me forever. It started a process of evolution which has reached the point now where, when I caught covid a while back, it basically cured my COPD, gave me limitless energy (which I still have a year later), & took most of the gray out of my beard. Blessings on the goddess for giving me this virus, & blessings on Emma for helping me leave humanity.

Anyway, Emma & I put our heads together, & this is what we came up with - Beauty & the Beast. I should give Emma all the credit for this idea, of using pictures made from both of us, since it was her suggestion.

Fevers of the Mind interview

Thanks to David L. O'Nan for doing the interview linked here with me at Fevers of the Mind.

I endorse this:

"I do not write much about social issues, but I am an antinatalist & vegan. I do not want humans extinct necessarily, just a whole lot less of them. A great deal of what I do mention about society involves things that are vaguely Foucauldian; about biopower, indoctrination, & psychiatric, social, & medical fascism. Nietzsche’s “abyss” quote is about how “progressives” become fascists or worse, while allegedly fighting fascism, & the Foucauldian critique of the allegedly well-meaning “medical” fascism, disciplining unruly bodies, is much more wide-ranging."

& I agree with me about this too:

"I no longer affiliate with humanity, my allegiance lies elsewhere. Becomings-animal, in Deleuze & Guattari’s work, are very inspirational, since they show how a posthuman state can be understood like postmodernism as not a successor state, as “post” implies, but a crisis state or a reversion – the end of philosophy in the pre-Socratics, for Heidegger, while I align more with beasts than people. I am Aries with Mercury & Venus both in Pisces, & moon in Gemini. I’m sure that helps when it comes to writing."

Also include a bit mysteriously missing in interview

"I once did a lot of collaborative work about BDSM, no longer available, but some of the "poems for Emma" series became what Emma described as "deviant pornography." For some reason subs have often been aware from my writing in general that I am a dominant. I do not know how, I suppose most of them are very clever girls."
