about me

I have a degree in Creative Writing, which is why I've spent the years since graduation working in hotels and hardware stores...

If you were going to strand me on a deserted island (you son of a b!tch) and you told me I had to choose between the complete works of Shakespeare and the complete works of Stephen King, I'd be forced to shoot you.

What whiskey, butter, or U2 can't cure, there is no cure for.

I like chocolate milk.

Every Atom Belonging

Dan C. McKinnis

All the money in the world, or a world that knows not money...what's it gonna be?


Kidnapped and forced to work in a secret government facility, a rogue scientist finally escapes with more than just his freedom.

Chris Rains, a physics genius attending The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, mysteriously vanishes along with his fiancee.

Years later, however, Chris pays a visit to his old friend, Adam, abruptly pulling him from his comfortable, mundane existence the night he shows Adam a device capable of rearranging one form of matter into any other.

Eventually the device could mean free access to basic necessities for everyone on the planet. There's just one problem: getting rid of money is one thing, but greed is a whole 'nother matter entire.

Chris could make a fortune with the device, but he couldn't care less about wealth. His idea? Over-production of anything valuable, from pearls to platinum, until everything rare becomes entirely commonplace.

His enemies? To many to count...

The line between priceless and worthless has never been so thin.

 

Trinity

Dan C. McKinnis

A trinity of short stories about failure to communicate. What Adam in "Every Atom Belonging" was working on while Chris was away...


Underliner: It's a rather uncomfortable session one day on Psych Ward Five West B, when a patient Davies turns the tables and begins to question to Dr. Idle's own sanity instead...

***

Lost Count: A pilot and co-pilot co-exist peacefully, stranded on an island for over three thousand days, when something goes awry...

***

Broken English: An American working in Spain struggles with the isolation born of living without the ability to find the right words...

Hey, Bradley-- Just had to write something here, since you had 666 comments. Couldn't have any bad mojo lurking around your work, my friend. Congratulations, by the way! --Dan view book

Umm...if you want people to start at chapter 2, then why don't you call it chapter 1 and delete whatever is before that? view book

I wrote 755 days ago

The prologue feels a bit funny...only because the parallel structure is slightly off. You establish a pattern, using past tense, but in the last sentence you switch to pluperfect (had been), yet finish it out with simple past again. I'm overly picky about such things, I know, but it did throw a wr... view book

I might cut out "enveloped" in the first line and just go with "tall trees thick with mist." And are they between the trees or among them. Between sounds like there are only two. On the whole, though, the writing is clean and smooth, although I do think some of the larger paragraphs could be brok... view book
