This is a wonderful adventure tale. A child abandons an abusive home and heads for the hills, as they used to say in a simpler time. The child would not survive long in the wild were it not for the vast and elemental friend who chooses to provide support. The wind comes to the child’s aid and all is well for some time, however Jan’s ability to communicate with the wind and call upon it draws the attentions of certain elements of the government, the military, and a host of unknown forces, all of which have their reasons for wanting to understand how Jan communicates and seemingly commands an elemental force of such magnitude and power. When Jan is befriended by Mr. Fish, an ordinary appearing native American, the adventure takes an ominous turn as the pair is hunted. Only ancient and wholly mystical methods allow them to escape to a place and time beyond human knowledge. Jan comes of age there and all is well until the wind comes, in terrible pain, calling for help. Jan and Mr. Fish go back to the civilization they had escaped from only to be pursued by the same malevolent forces staging a show down between the animal kingdom and a humanity gone mad. A desperate battle for the freedom of the wind, for liberty brings about an end to the violence of warfare and the dawn of a new world.
Acerca del autor: With a long time interest in Science Fiction, I am motivated by the belief that the right words at the right time and place is one of the ways society, indeed civilization, evolves for the better; my intention has been to develop my craft so as to make a positive impact on this world of ours. In Runaway with the Wind, I speculate on the nature of a grand future, which, though yet to come, provides a glorious vision of the greatness humanity can evolve into. I enjoy writing Science Fiction. I am known in the San Francisco poetry scene and have published many pieces. I host events, have created online calendars for events in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and for venues around the world. I believe that voicing the right words, at the right time, in the right place is one of the ways that civilization evolves I have retired after working as an educator for 34 years in San Francisco and live there along with my wife, happily enough. I've been active in the literary arts scene, organizing readings, performances, hosting events, and curate Sacred Grounds, the world's longest running open mic poetry series, now on zoom. My poetry has been published over the past 50 years in a variety of formats and locations and I have self-published collections of poetry, haiku, short stories, and sci-fi novels. I have manuscripts for children's and picture books as well as a Classic Collection of Internet Humor, a most recent effort, which is a-building. I trust you are well; if not, that circumstances amend themselves unto your needs Keep on keepin' on Dan
