A Tremendously Interesting Writing Project
DQ VB.NET Advisor Garret Rempel is basically good at everything, as far as I can tell. Remember, he's the one who drafted blueprints and built a wooden playscape for his kids. And he's a great teacher, based on all the things about VB.NET that he's taught me.Well, he's also a writer, and he's working on an experimental writing project that is tremendously compelling (I've read what he's written so far, which are the first three chapters). And he's publishing as he writes, which is far, far braver than I've ever been. You can read a description below, and it is well worth your time.
Scientists at a particle accelerator research facility are
working to unlock the mysteries of non-causal communication, sending
information and objects backwards through time. At the apex of their ultimate
experiment, a nuclear explosion rips through the facility laying waste to the
region and killing tens of thousands. TIMESPLICE is a sci-fi mystery that
unfolds the trail of physical evidence tied to those scientists as they navigate
through the time stream of their own experiment. Following and using the clues
sent to them by their future selves, they rush towards a tragedy in their past
that has not yet happened.
TIMESPLICE is being published online for free at http://www.garretrempel.com/ with new
additions every Monday morning. The complete Chapter 1 is already available.
And if you would like to read ahead, TIMESPLICE has also been submitted to a
contest sponsored by Nerdist (http://nerdist.com/)
at Inkshares (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/timesplice/).
The top 5 pre-ordered books will be published in hard copy. By signing up for
an account at Inkshares you get a $5 credit towards a pre-order (which are
$9.99) and like Kickstarter, if the book doesn't get funded you don't pay
anything. Members who pre-order TIMESPLICE (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/timesplice/)
will get access to advance chapters, long before they are published on my
website. And if the book gets fully funded you will also get a physical copy of
it when its done too!
I hope you enjoy this work, it is not written in a
traditional narrative, but is presented in a manner similar to evidence
exhibits at a trial - allowing the reader to consider and construct their own
narrative of events that fits the evidence much as a prosecutor or defense
attorney would do for a judge or jury.
