Zenomancer










What a crazy time the past few weeks and they say it had something to do with Uranus in retrograde or something but I don’t follow astrology very much. Interestingly enough to keep up with regular stuff in mainstream society takes real skill since there is such an unfathomable amount of things going on at the moment, from the ebola outbreak, to Ukraine, to Russia, to undocumented immigrants on the US border, the possibility of forced vaccinations, Putin refusing to allow western products into Russia, meanwhile we are still in the literal dark ages and the largest financial collapse in modern history, but things toil on because there is still iphones and Cheetos on the shelves lol
It is fine to keep up with stuff in a sense and I advocate getting your news and updates from many sources hence a diverse range of input from alternative media to a spectrum of news outlets, rather than just either solely mainstream or just solely alternative media.
It is easy to get led down the path of paranoia or ignorance depending where you look for your information. And some of the things happening are downright scary. It seems present moment awareness is the optimal solution and if you are just going to work and coming home and playing xbox all night then there isn’t really a present moment awareness !
Part of my thought process included the possibility of continuing my book series with a third book and if need be I could leave it at two books but I read through the first few chapters of the 3rd book and thought to myself, wow I have something here. I think many writers want to give up but thanks to this blog rightfully named my virtual ministry, I have been given a transferrable skill from something that is free, and that is the fact that I have refined my writing skill quite a bit, and I know I am not the best at grammar and punctuation but I am a super keen story teller and I think that is a good quality of a writer.
Everything in the world is based in words, everything devised pretty much has a writer behind it, I mean it would be nice to be a millionaire and such but that is so unreachable to a person that is just beginning in story-telling. Part of my inclinations for writing this never ending blog include the above mentioned refining my writing craft but another part is karmic reversal, I hope to better serve people that may come across my words in whatever little way that I can, and also to be the first ever creator of the CHURCH OF TECHNO in which nothing is comparable. I used to tie my manifesto to it all in some whacked out conspiracy theory but I figured recently that everyone has a past and the sooner I can let go of mine the better and not to hang on or obsess about negativity seems to be the wisest solution.
Basically instead of complaining about all those that have wronged me, I can turn that negativity into extreme positivity by going into the creative aspect of my personality that turns adversity into a rainbow hehe
Personally I don’t think you really have to be a grammar nazi to make it as a writer, I think you just have to be able to create believable characters and an epic storyline for people to be entertained by and in writing my first book I realised after reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That you don’t even need to focus on a plot hahaha imagine that! If it is entertaining and unique I think the world wants to see it   –eventually- Not many people have the means to write for a profession, some people can barely even keep a working computer let alone the $200 in costs in word software and printing costs for your rough draft and the cost of an editor and anything else that may come up including keeping yourself sane and supported through the process.
I have come across countless people that talk about being a writer but haven’t written a word or they are in school taking a course about how to write a novel and have not even written the first chapter.
I can say it is a defeating process but once you start battling the hurdles it becomes easier to deal with any sort of negativity.
It is with great pride that Zenophobic has recently made a submission to the Zeno Literary Agency, (my fifth) -3 I haven’t heard from since I submitted and a couple have declined so I find the process to be interesting to say the least hehe perhaps if they want to be very wealthy they will choose me hehe it is a long shot since it is gay fiction but you never know !

What people are saying about my novel...Amazon eBook Reviews :)

This book is a journey. The point of this book is to go on that journey, and it doesn't matter where you end up (spoiler alert, you end up in a very nice and warm place), but you get to see two worlds, and sometimes you're not sure which one of them is real. And this book feels like real life, with so many details.

Many of us are familiar with the virtual reality, whether those are video games or online multiplayer RPGs, and Zenophobic feels real whenever Click enters it, as if it was just another life of his, or maybe a dream life.

But he has a real life too, and sometimes it seems even more surreal than Zenophobic. But even though he is very involved in this virtual reality, his real life is still rich and full of surprises

-.-
I didn't know what to think of Zenophobic when I read the blurb. I really got this book for my nephew that's gay, but I ended up reading it first and it was really great. I didn't expect to get sucked into it like I was. My nephew is finishing it right now and I can't wait for him to get done, so we can discuss it! All I can really say about Zenophobic is that it was awesome and had me turning pages at lightning speed. I'd really love to read more by this author. 5 Stars!
-.-
The book cover drew me in immediately and I would have bought it simply to have the cover in my possession as I think it is very cool.

I found out the author is multi -talented as not only did he write this book but also did the cover.

In this debut novel by author Shaun Delage, we find out that maybe in many ways life does mirror the futuristic online virtual world “Zenophobic” that our main character so enjoys.

Click was a well thought out character and the attention to even the smallest details by the author brought this story together quite well. The other characters were also well created which resulted in great character interaction throughout.

This is truly a cool read and I like the way the author’s brain works.

Could online reality games such as this be the wave of the future? Check this book out and see what you think.

-.-
I really commend Delage for creating characters that have such depth. The novel is layered, beautifully written, has an incredible setting, contains rich prose, has emotionally charged characters, and explores deep relationships. I'm not sure too many writers could pull this off. By far, this will be a novel I'll be thinking about for a long time. It’s revealing and eye opening, painful and heartbreaking and swoony! WOW!

-.-
Zenophobic by Shaun Delage was just a beautiful read! There wasn’t anything about this book that I didn’t enjoy, and the way the writer weaves real life and a virtual world really engages you and sucks you in! Anytime a writer can make you feel things and stir emotions inside of you, you know they are talented, and that is exactly what Shaun Delage did in this beautifully written masterpiece! I could not put this book down as I helplessly fell in love with the characters and the story! If you want something deep and wonderful to escape to, then I highly recommend this book! You’re going to love it!
