Moonstone

Welcome to Moonstone – my small niche on the internet.  This site is going to seem a little neglected over the months of July and August, but it will come alive again in September just before Zero Time is released for publication.  I am taking a break from my weekly posts to enjoy the sunshine and re-energize my creative muscles.  Check back in the fall!

My last post before July is “On a Sunny Day,” and it recounts a disturbing incident that occurred on a quiet beach in Greece.  The short story page contains a work titled “Brothers.”  It’s a unusual piece, and I’m curious what people will make of it.

Don’t forget to visit my writer’s page on Facebook, then view the “Kenneth D. Reimer” Channel on YouTube to enjoy the growing collection of travel videos.  If these first two media platforms pique your interest, you can also find me on Google+.

Literature is the passion that has shaped my life, and I can trace its genesis to a single day in my youth when my older brother, Roland, gave me a copy of The Fellowship of the Ring.  Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft soon joined the ranks of Tolkien, and I found myself on a path of literary exploration that has yet to reach its culmination.

The Lamb White Days is my first published novel. My next major work, Zero Time, is a time-travel story in which wanderers from the near and distant future travel back to our present day. It will soon be followed by a horror novel titled Ashes. This tale explores the lives of an underground society where a modern-day werewolf and vampires seek their prey in the moonlit streets of Canmore, Alberta.  I’m also working on a collection of short stories.

When in San Francisco, it’s always important to make a pilgrimage to the  City Lights Bookstore.

Then, in honour of Jack and the other writers of the Beat Generation, you’ve got to have a pint at Vesuvio.
