An atheist who writes supernatural fiction

Published on August 28, 2010 in Fiction, Random Thoughts and Religion. 0 Comments

I just finished editing the short story that I’m working on for my writing critique group. It’s called ‘The Walk In.’ It’s about a guy who is killed in a traffic accident, but who’s spirit ends up trapped inside the body of a young woman, a good Samaritan who stopped to give him C.P.R.

I know you’re probably thinking, “Why is this guy writing about spirits when doesn’t even really believe in that sort of thing anymore.” Well, I don’t have a good answer for you. Probably the best I could say is that I still find the idea of the supernatural interesting. I still love a good ghost story. I still love learning about religion, just for different reasons.

Before, the supernatural was very serious to me. Now, it’s all fun, games, and wild speculation.

Final Dominion!

Ok, I’ve finally gotten down to some serious work on the novel I’ve been planning to write for some time, entitled: Final Dominion. I’ve almost got the story outline hammered out, and now I’m working on the character details.

Final Dominion is going to be an experiment of sorts, a glimpse into the most primal parts of our nature. In the novel, a young scientist, Isabel Hawthorn, is brutally raped by a colleague. As a result, her outlook on life is shattered. She changes from a a shy and innocent young woman, into a broken, but almost insanely driven individual, who is determined to fix what she now knows is the main problem with human society – the control and aggression of the male of the species.

As a geneticist, Isabel puts her unique skills to use, and develops a grand plan, which she calls: Neutralization Theory.  With the help of her friends, Elyse Walker and April Brooks, she begins her master plan to “save the human race from certain extinction.”

What kind of world would emerge as a result of the power and the fate of all human society, world wide, being stripped away from the male, and placed solely in the hands of the female. Would the world be any better? Would women treat their now lesser male counterparts with compassion and equality? Or would we find that our problems are a little more universal than we think?
