About Adolphus Writer

Adolphus Writer - (b. July 20, 1969) - His mother would have named him Tranquility Base, had he been born a girl. He escaped that fate, but was plagued by the nickname "Eagle" for most of his public school days. He attended several prestigious institutes of academic learning before the advent of the Internet and holds a doctorate in Theoretical Physics.

After he graduated, Adolphus travelled to Europe, the Middle East, and Far East when those names still meant something. He picked up knowledge, experience, and an inordinate number of colds and flus while abroad. He found people to be the same the world over: motivated by their self-interest, full of blind spots, and divided mainly into idealists and pragmatists.

After arriving back in the USA, he took a job in a large defense firm applying his creative and analytical skills to pressing problems to which his mother would have objected. He married Ninja Schreiber after she resigned her commission with the German Federal Defense forces and came to the United States to be with him.

During the economic downturn spanning the first and second decades of the twenty-first century, his job was eliminated and he was terminated. He established Mandated Memoranda Publishing, LLC, as a way to support the lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed. He says they like to eat on a daily basis and stay debt-free.

A Digital Carol – A Tale for Our Generation Nov 19, 2014

by Adolphus Writer

( 4 )

$0.99

A Digital Carol – A Tale for Our Generation is the old Dickens's favorite—A Christmas Carol—reimagined. We now face a monstrous egotist who questions the very premise of his existence and ours.

We no longer believe in ghosts, do we? I thought not. But we invest our time and attention in the promise of virtual reality for entertainment and, as some might wish it, our evolutionary destiny. Of course, this is only the latest manifestation of our desire to create our own heaven, on our own terms, here on earth.

A Digital Carol is Dickens’s A Christmas Carol retold with new forms and modern perspectives. No longer do we read a tale of a mean miser who, through sorrowful experiences, becomes kindly. We now face a monstrous egotist who teeters between damnation and redemption.

This speculative fiction story’s goal is not to inspire a more joyous holiday or a more generous spirit, but to question the very premise of our existence. Are we too far into the dark night of the soul for anything but drastic measures?

Tragic Wonders – Stories, Poems, and Essays to Ponder Dec 13, 2013

by Ninja S. Writer , Adolphus Writer

( 1 )

$0.99

We all love to be entertained. But, what if that entertainment has other ideas? We asked our pseudonymous authors to write stories, poems, and essays of tragedy and wonder that delve into our souls' deepest fears and needs.

In the stories, you'll meet a serial killer, alien snails, a petulant eleven-year-old, a beloved astronaut, a laid-off worker, and many others. Two poems provide a transition from fiction to opinion. The short essays castigate, decry, praise, and skewer our personal, local, national, world, and cosmic conditions.

These writings are meant to engage readers in a reality that we all deny daily, whether we profess faith in Christ, are ambivalent, or are hostilely opposed to religion.

What if this world we live in is set up as a diabolical trap meant to prevent us from seeing that which is truly necessary? The anthology focuses on themes, situations, and emotions that are tragic, full of wonder, or, combined in some way, both.

We hope you'll suspend your disbelief and consider the possibility that there is a way out of the trap in which we find ourselves. And that way doesn't involve choosing between two different color pills.

Tianming – Mandate of Heaven Jun 7, 2013

by Nomi T. Smith , Adolphus Writer

( 4 )

$2.99

This is a reluctant journalist's tale of geopolitical conflict and geologic catastrophe that upends the worldwide status quo. The United States is on the brink. Economic and geologic calamities threaten to dissolve the nation. A farsighted president, Moses Orestes, strives to save the republic he loves. Yellowstone and the Canary Islands erupt as half the US population relocates north into Canada. Failing governments take advantage of the fact that the world's policeman is down for the count. Nuclear skirmishes reshape western and southern Asia. Will any nations step up to take responsibility and right these wrongs? In what could be another nuclear showdown, an unlikely hero saves the former USS John F. Kennedy. A mysterious agency, CWNS, hires Michael Babbage, a freelance reporter, to analyze and document this unfolding history. But how is it that so many people he knows have to die if he is merely an observer? Is he next? His recruiter, Buck Jefferies, advised him: "Always read the fine print before you sign up." Why is all this happening? It's the Mandate of Heaven. George Washington warned us about it long ago.
