The Reality Hackers Novelette Set for Release

On May 23rd, 2023, the extended version of The Reality Hackers will be published through Sonoran Dawn Studios, via Lulu. 

What if the quantum universe resides in our minds? That our consciousness is the means for reality? ...then what would happen if someone toyed with the multiverse, universe of your mind? Justin Chisum finds out, doesn't like what he sees, and tries to correct the paradox, but will his actions cost him his existence?  

Critical Acclaim includes: 

"...Reality Hackers is a great story." 

"...Quite original."

"'The Reality Hackers' sounds truly frightening!" 

"Definitely thought-provoking."  

"[DL Mullan]’s story sounds frightening...! I enjoyed learning about its inspiration. Scary and weird facts mixed in there."

"This story struck me as being very scary cutting edge science fiction, the kind that makes one ponder the 'what ifs'. I'm sure readers will enjoy it immensely."  

For more information about this scifi classic in the making, be sure to visit: The Reality Hackers.

Undawnted's Halloween Poetry Event Continues on My Poetry Forum

So far, I have published for review some Halloween-themed poetry on Undawnted's YouTube Channel. These poems are as follows:

Breathe
Identity
The Collection

One more poem will be released before Halloween. Be sure to look for that post when it comes in the coming days.

These poems will be on the forum until the end of autumn, which for Undawnted is when Autumn Cider Seasonal Reads ends on November 30th, and then will be removed so that others may be placed in their stead. 

I wouldn't want to bore my audience.

I will also be attending Sonoran Dawn Studios' Upon Hallow Ground Reanimated 2020.  

I hope you will join me in celebrating books, music, and entertainment from around the world.

Thank you for your continued support.

Have a great and wonderful day!

March Madness Quarantine Special Continues with: Special Engagements: Lectures for Writer's Workshops, The Odyssey

Want to improve your knowledge base? Want to learn about mythology and other stories from our ancestral past?  

Then participate in Undawnted's March Madness Special Engagements: Lectures for Writer's Workshops, The Odyssey.

"The follow up to the Iliad, Homer's Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odýsseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer.

The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. It is believed to have been composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia."

 

If you need to start with the Iliad, Undawnted has you covered, Lectures for Writer's Workshops: The Iliad.

Lectures for Writer's Workshops: The Power of Myth- Hero's Journey

Spring Dreams Lecture Series I

This seasons lectures are based on learning the foundation of literary works through myth-ology, the hero journey, and how ancient civil-izations used the art of storytelling.

*****

Where do our myths and legends come from?

"Well, there are two types of deed. One is the physical deed; the hero who has performed a war act or a physical act of heroism ñ saving a life, that’s a hero act. Giving himself, sacrificing himself to another. And the other kind is the spiritual hero, who has learned or found a mode of experiencing the supernormal range of human spiritual life, and then come back and communicated it. It’s a cycle, it’s a going and a return, that the hero cycle represents. 

But then this can be seen also in the simple initiation ritual, where a child has to give up his childhood and become an adult, has to die, you might say, to his infantile personality and psyche and come back as a self-responsible adult. It’s a fundamental experience that everyone has to undergo, where in our childhood for at least 14 years, and then to get out of that posture of dependency, psychological dependency, into one of psychological self-responsibility, requires a death and resurrection, and that is the basic motif of the hero journey, Leaving one condition, finding the source of life to bring you forth in a richer or more mature or other condition."

~Joseph Campbell, author of the Power of Myth 

Lectures for Writer's Workshops: The Power of Myth- Hero's Journey

Join Undawnted for her Special Engagements series of lectures, poetry, and writing workshops. 

Engage in your intellect...

Do we have that power? Can we create our own hero's journey? Be our own hero?

This writer's workshop will help you define the hero's journey through myth and creative exploration. Define your center and define yourself. 

Have a great and wonderful day.
