about me

My books are my life. They are like my children; I nurture them, eternally correct them, dress them up in the right clothes, and try my best to get people to read them. I am an overbearing parent. My books have a right to be rebellious. My sci-fi book, "The Gods Of The Gift" , came limping in the other night with lipstick all over its cover and bits of white powder on some pages. My novel, "The Vice Of Courage", wants me to write a big motorcycle episode. I absolutely forbid it.The travel/memoir, "Green Highway" hasn't give me any trouble at all.. I'm suspicious, no book is that well behaved.
I'm 61. That's a shock. I never expected to make it this far. I've lived a high risk life, very abnormal. It has, however, (my life, that is) forced me to explore weird psychology and metaphysics. I've been so crazy that I want
the answers to such questions as, "What is consciousness and how do I change it if I don't like it?". Or, "What is a human being and what is its purpose?". Or, ultimately,"What the hell is going on here?" Exploring these questions are the subjects of my books.
I am a hipster, I love jazz and have had a lot of mixing with musicians. I play drums, keyboards and sing. You can have a free copy of my CD, just let me know. I make part of my living as a photographer and have published a few nifty things in Shutterbug Magazine.
I live in a 38 foot motorcoach with a woman who is half Apache. I don't mess with her. I don't want her angry with me, noooo way. She has powers. She speaks with
animals and finds buried artifacts because "they call to her". She is never boring and our relationship is a good one, we are supportive of each other, we help in good
times and bad.
Read my books. Each is unique, each is gripping, passionate and often very funny. I know they will be published and loved by readers. It's just a question of
whether I'll be famous before or after I'm dead.

favourite books

Don DeLillo's books, all of them. William K. Vollmann,
"Rising Up and Rising Down." The supernatural thrillers
of Charles Wiliams. Jack Vances's fantasy adventures
and Phlip K. Dick's crazed tales of shifting realities.
I relax with Paul Theroux's travel stories. I read archetypal
psychology and esoteric books like "Thinking And Destiny".

The Gods Of The Gift

Art Rosch

If you could have ANY wish granted, as often as you like, what would you do?..


Long ago, the Starwind Communion's planets died in a black hole. They were murdered by one of their own, the renegade planet Calakadon. Each world left behind an artifact, a Puzzle Piece, part of the Puzzle Of The Endless Gates. Now Garuvel NepZing owns a Puzzle Piece. The murdered worlds still speak through these pieces, and their killer is still murdering them.Garuvel's friend, Nutun, has made him promise to stop the murderer. This can only be done by bringing together all the Puzzle Pieces on the dead world, Wayuzo. How does he find Wayuzo? The path will be full of twists. First he goes to Xtalus, the planet settled by followers of the band, The Dreadful Great. Xtalus is now addicted to a drug called Futufu. Where did this stuff come from? Garuvel must find the source, end the plague. "The Gods Of The Gift" is a visionary cosmic fantasy with telepathic sword duels, a book with both heart and inellect. The holy man Kringmar lives inside his black anodyzed skull, and is the only being who can guide Garuvel to Wayuzo. To Kringmar, everything is a joke.

Previous title: "The Vice Of Courage". Two siblings are criminal monsters. Two are brilliant artists. Same parents. What made the difference?

Thanks, SciFi-guy, I haven't been at Authonomy since, oh, 2009. I shall attempt to upload the revised first chapter of "Gods". I've done a LOT of work on this book in the last two years. I'll take a look at Pluto Genesis. view book

Steve, your prologue is positively filmic. I had no trouble understanding what was happening; it's an interesting plan for a murder but full of holes. It reminded me of Hitchcock's North by Northwest, with Cary Grant running from a machine gunning airplane. Then your story begins, developing Chr... view book

Shoshana, thanks for the read and the help. I'm happy with the pitch of my other book, but this one has eluded me. I've written hundreds of pitches, and I've just written another one. I've read a lot of A True Faerie Story, I like it very much and will comment when I've gathered my wits about ... view book

[The Gods of the Gift looks like the sort of thing any agent or publisher ought to leap at. It would also make an excellent film, because there’s lots of action. Obviously, I’m going to bookshelf it. Which makes it the first novel I’ve bookshelved on this site in quite some time! [ENDQUOTE] Bren,... view book

This book is really burning up the ratings, eh? I thought it would do a little better than this, I didn't expect it to race to the top. I'm just commenting here to put the title on the "news" in hopes that another few people will realize what an interesting book this is. Anyone interested in Tib... view book
