The Woo-woo Man Strikes
Again
Oh, the woo-woo thing kicked in again on me this week. I
received an email from Dear Jude, publisher of Books We Love. It mentioned that
we should go online or go down to our local library and request that I want to
receive or look at my published novels. This way they would be in the system.
I thought to myself, do I even have a library card? Yes, I
know this is heresy, haven’t even been to the library in as long as I can
remember. Didn’t even remember if I owned a library card, must have at one
point in life, but since I moved to BC, but I doubted it.
I was looking for a novel to help my fellow writer with a
project he was working on and looked through the books in my collection. One
seemed to shine at me, a book I hadn’t picked up in over fifteen years, at
least. In fact, don’t even remember what the book was about. I noticed that
there was a book marker inside and opened it up. Lo and behold, my long lost
and long forgotten library card stared back at me. I nearly fell down the
stairs in shock. I really had forgotten I’d even had one.
But I do remember in the old days how I’d go to the library
to do all of my research or to second hand bookstores. In fact if I had
something I needed to know on something I was writing about, I’d often walk in,
walk right up to the book I needed and open it to the page that had what I
needed to know. Yup, eerie, spooky stuff. But that was me, the woo-woo man. Now,
I mostly Google everything, how times have changed. I wonder how much valuable
knowledge is rotting away on old book shelves. I think the internet really is
making our society dumber in some respects and destroying some industries, the
music for one. But that’s a rant for another day.
Now if I can just visualize next weeks lottery ticket
numbers. Now we’d be talking.

Talaber’s Writing Style? He usually responds with: Mix Dan Millman (Way of The
Peaceful Warrior) with Charles De Lint (Moonheart) and throw in a mad
scattering of Tom Robbins (Even Cowgirls Get The Blues).
PS: He’s better looking than Stephen King (Carrie, The Stand, It, The Shining) and his romantic stuff will have you gasping quicker than Robert James Waller (Bridges Of Madison County).

Or as is
often said: You don’t have to be mad to be a writer, but it sure helps.
Writer by soul. Words born within.
Karma the seed. Paper the
medium.
Pen the muse. Novels the
fire.
