What I'm Working On: The Orffyreus Wheel
I'm working on a very cool project currently. It's a serialized novel, offered by www.amazon.com in segments - each downloadable for .49 -- each between 7500 and 10,000 words long. I anticipate it will be about ten sections when complete, and currently the first four are available on Amazon and getting great reviews.
The short version of this book's synopsis is: "In 1712, Johan Bessler invented a wheel that, under rigorous testing, and in full view of credible eye witnesses, appeared to be in perpetual motion. He revealed his secret to only one man, and the invention died with Bessler. Or did it? Now, almost three hundred years later, Elly Kassel has inherited a fortune, and a mystery. Can she protect it against the machinations of Maxwell Black until it can be revealed to the world, or will the secret of free energy be lost forever?"
Think about what a free source of energy would mean in these days of $3.00 a gallon gasoline, and you'll see what my heroine is up against in this one. This takes place half in the past, and half in the present, as it follows the invention of Bessler's wheel, and the re-discovery of it in modern times. If you're interested, click the "cover art" and give it a try ... at half a buck you won't find a better bargain!
