Virtual Wiles (Book) - 8/10/2007 9:54:21 AM
Virtual Wiles explores the dangers of becoming a prisoner to a simulated world and the potential technology that may be possible, even in our future. The story is a perfect blend between fantasy and the real world, where the lines between reality and make-believe are blurred.
The journey to this virtual world is an escape or vacation for some, while others use it to live out the life they never could have. Virtual Wiles follows Morgan Asher on a mission that leads him to a far off place, and has him questioning what is real—and what is simulated. At times I found myself doubting what was real and what was simulated—as if lost in a simulated world myself. And the only way to get out was to read on and follow Morgan through it.
The detailed description of the surroundings and the characters allowed me to see them as if I was there. When I thought I knew what was coming next, I was blind-sided by the tale. Romance also finds its way into the picture as the plot gets more detailed—and makes things more complicated along the way. The future of two worlds will be forever changed.
The story comes alive with perfect pacing, and the scenes leave a lasting imprint. There is plenty of depth to the characters and I instantly became attached to them. The book is extremely well written and the plot well thought-out. Ingham has created a magnificent journey that left me fulfilled at the end—but still wanting more. The only question left—when is the sequel coming?
Fantastic book! I absolutely recommend it for all ages! Five Stars!

This is a very good lesson to those who preach retrogression to primitve ways. The bearucray will ensure that we pay for each breath that we take.
A damn good read.

Brilliant, Martin. Your mind flows in the same vein as mine, and I agree with the previous comments--'from my cold dead hand' as the famous words are. Freedom is priceless and there are those of us who would pay the price to retain it.

Well written. There is more truth to this story than fiction. I agree with Jason, even at my age, I will be willing to fight for my freedom and my grandchildren's before I would submit to this tyranny. The type of "Change" that "Yes We Can" promises is devastating to our way of life and the survival of our country. It's unfortunate that there are those who are willing to follow their leader blindly without knowing who he really is...to the detriment of all of us.
Change You Can Believe In (Short Story) - 10/25/2008 9:48:56 PM
Well done. I can only hope there would be a revolution or a civil war before it ever gets to that. I'd rather die fighting for my freedom then live in fear of and be a slave to my government.

Very well written!!!!
Hindsight is 20/20. I wish I would have known just 8 years ago what I know today, but that part of history was already written. We never know what change will come.
I enjoyed reading your story very much!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.

A woman only wants love. A baby is the result of that. If it is not her baby, it is stolen.

Well, I seem to have thought the same that Karen did, freedom, not sure if I am right, but it sure was really interesting to read.

Hi Martin,
"I fight through each day
with fists of fury
failing to connect."
These are the lines that make this write a whole. I can identify with this rant, as well as others can, I'm sure. Thank you for sharing...
In Spirit,
Bear

An impressive self rant indeed. I relate tremendously with this poem. I am going through this very dilemma but try to direct that energy in a positiove direction. Not something I have been known for in the past. Guess we ARE like cheese and mellow with age. Great piece.

Martin,
An honest and sad poem written from the heart. Unfortunately, many marriages are in trouble. No communication, no faith in God, only silence. So sad that two people who once had the world in each other can grow so far apart. I wish you well, Martin.
Many blessings,
~Linda

Very frank and straightforward. Honesty is needed in any relationship, more so with married couples. Great point and style.

Certainly not what was planned, but is the reality of how the deck is dealt. Such a sad shame when all the promise is gone...

Won't You Stay? (Poetry) - 11/17/2008 11:53:52 AM
Such sweet words of comfort for your wife. I'd of liked them from my hubby Tom too, but he wasn't much for writing poetry. He did draw and talk lots of love and upheld me til his decease. I envy your having your wife still and thinking this way of her. She can be proud of you the rest of her life. So full of love for her it seems unreal.

The next generation will take care of itself. It won't be the same as this generation, who knows what they will go threw. Hopefully they will learn something from their ancestors and try to keep things going that mean a lot to them. We need to know that time does carry on traditions and let us heal with the Good Lord's time and handiwork.

Martin,
This Is An Awsome Write!
I Loved The Whole Concept & The Wonder Of It All
That What if....
"
You're the road not taken
a place I've never been.
An opportunity that passed me by
that'll never come again.
You were likely a big mistake
a path of pain and despair,
but did perchance I tread down you
in an alternate world so fair?"
Fantastic Piece You Have Penned Poet!

Martin, once you've chosen a road in life, you should never look back and wonder what would have happened if you had took the other road? Life cannot be fun if we question every road we chose in life...step forth and make the best out of the road you chose. A nice write.
The Road Not Taken (Poetry) - 6/28/2008 8:56:04 AM
We alway wonder what could have been. You tell it so well, beautifully writen.

Why In The World? (Poetry) - 6/26/2008 9:02:46 PM
Shouldn't it be I saw the news? You have new.
But that aside powerful poem. Why do we die you ask.
Blame it on Adam, Eve and Satan. But God knows what he is doing. Soon it will be "fixed" and we will be a happy forever living world "again." Sorry for the sermon, but I couldn't help it. Happy writing.
