Twilight Zone to Visionary Fiction

August 28, 2013 by Margaret Duarte

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post, no apologies. I figured it best (for your sake and mine) to only write when I have something interesting to say. The rest of the time I plan to invest in editing and publishing my novels.

And living, of course!

Today, for instance, I fixed a leaky faucet. Actually, my husband did, after I took the faucet apart and he could no longer use it. He sent me to Home Depot for parts and after I scrubbed all the reusable pieces with vinegar to get them shiny again, he put all back together. Victory! No more drips.

Anyway, I did have something interesting to say over at Visionary Fiction Alliance. It’s a post called Visionary Fiction; Crossing Over is Easy about why I write visionary fiction, a genre that parallels the new neural sciences and has yet to find a receptive audience.

My protagonist, Marjorie Veil Sunwalker, gives her input, and then, well, I share a bit about my fascination with fairy tales as a child and The Twilight Zone as a teen. In my adult life, well…there’s Dean Koontz, James Long, and Joanne Harris, for starters.

I’d love to hear from you if you decide to follow the link and give my post at VFA a read.

In the mean time, thanks for stopping by,
