Welcome to Moonstone – my tiny piece of the internet multiverse

My post for this week is a little different.  A short time ago, I went on a shark dive while visiting the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, and for this week’s post, I’ve combined photographs from that dive with a poem I wrote retelling the experience.  On the “short stories” page, I have uploaded “A Paper Koan,” a story that I just finally honed down to a polished copy.  “The Toy” was inspired by my reflections on the events and characters of Zero Time.  I hope you enjoy.

Big news for this writer!  Zero Time, the manuscript that I have laboured over for years, is now a published work.  I could not be more proud of the finished product, and I hope you will tap the menu above and check out my description of the novel. (It’s possible that I’m a little biased, but I love this book!)

Zero Time is available in novel and Kindle formats from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Createspace.com.  Alternate ebook formats will be coming soon.  If you prefer to deal with humans, Zero Time and also be ordered from your local bookstore.

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 second 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.

This is the main gate of Ilium.
