UNTIED LACES (Book) - 3/14/2017 7:50:15 AM
While I have admired your serialized books here and we have communicated abundantly, it was only a side ad that clued me to this autobiography of yours, buried in your 22 books so far.
After reading the brief blurb, I began to realize the source of all your "eclectic" writing. Like my life, you have actually lived in several venues, giving you perspective on life and our world far different from the average person, and, even a good writer of an ordinary, if book reading, life.
Like you, I wrote my autobiography to reveal things about my life to others, even my family members, of things that I've done, seen and experienced that they know nothing about and only perceive me from the narrow perspective of the brief time they knew or saw me. Nobody would be able to write me better than me, nor you better than you. Why wait?
I, too, have been fortunate to have brief encounters with people of note in the last century. I'm especially intrigued by your encounter with Osama bin Laden. That alone is stuff of a movie. I recently received an email reconnecting me to a Ghanaian genius who was one of my brightest MBA students at Atlanta University and raised a student petition on my behalf when I was fired for my heresy filled teaching at the religious-based institution. Like you, I have befriended several Africans and Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Middle Eastern countries.
I only wish you had given us more of an excerpt. I am unable to read much right now because I'm writing so feverishly and will have to admit that I am following too many TV dramas after the fact "on-demand" from my cable provider. But it is helping me with my poor character development and action writing. Those shows have way too much action (unnecessary violence) for me. ;-)
So you have a piqued my interest in your life with these brief references. As soon as I am able, I certainly will read your autobiography and give you a review where it is sold. I have promised the same to some others, so I have a big obligation to fill before leaving this website forever.

Operation Oboe (Book) - 7/29/2011 1:13:23 AM

The day I confronted Usama bin Laden (Short Story) - 7/29/2019 8:45:29 AM
Since it was all India at the time of British colonization, I guess it's understandable that a Pakistani would run an Indian restaurant. The only difference in cuisine is that Hindus don't eat meat, and Muslim Pakistanis don't eat pork.
It is interesting that you left for the Northwest Territories about three years after I finished my novel, War's End, that was partly written about the search for terrorism there. In fact, my hero in that novel, was a Pakistani American. I was fortunate to spend four days in Karachi in January 1978 with the family of a doctoral student friend and even rode with them north across the Trans-Asian Highway to a reservoir for a picnic and to purchase fish for the family. We stopped at a ruin of an ancient town on the Indus where there were thousands of pot shards. It was a very nice day, mostly in the 70° range. Unlike your experience in the mountains.
That was interesting how your mouth organ was possibly considered to be a weapon. And the way you proved them otherwise. ;-) Also how you, by speaking out, suddenly became camp manager.
Finally, your story of having met Osama bin Laden is very credible. He may very well have needed glasses and come to the Eye Clinic. And his suspicion of you and hasty retreat was probably an example of how we live in those days in spite of being among friends. During those five years, Al Qaeda regenerated in Iraq and became a pain in the allies attempt to clear the country of terrorists. It seems that false information led the intelligence community not to find him in Abbottabad until five years later.
I have been fortunate to meet several famous people just by fateful circumstance. That's why your account is believable to me.

Caught in a Cold War Trap Chapter 4 (Short Story) - 5/13/2019 11:04:47 AM
He is certainly getting in deeper, and Morag has more insight that he has as to what is happening to him. It was convenient that she could join him in six months. And interesting that she would be going where he was, rather than he go where she was, regardless of profession. Women always had to give up their careers to please their husbands.
Their parting reminded me of my Canadian girlfriend who returned to Canada in order to take a year-long trip around the world, working in various places with her nursing degree. She joined me briefly in San Francisco when her ship came down from Canada with stops at San Francisco and then LA to pick up more passengers on its way to Hong Kong. It was a bit sorrowful, and even more sorrowful when she threw my letter in Sydney Bay and never returned to continue our relationship. Return to her birthplace, Saskatoon, and married a schoolteacher.

Very subtle and intriguing. At out of the country assignment that will lead to more, much more. He knows that something is up, but can't resist the money and the option of getting out in the wider world rather than entering teaching in Scotland or England. I can see the allure created for a young man willing to explore his limits.
He may have to leave Morag behind, and that also troubles him.

Chapter 2 caught in a Cold War Trap (Short Story) - 5/7/2019 9:25:49 AM
That was indeed a lot of money! I recall my fellowship check from Stanford. Enough to cover my tuition and living for three quarters or an academic year, even driving a car! Still, in the third quarter I had to borrow $800. Something that is obvious your protagonist did not have to do, what with the bribe from Moscow and his government stipend carrying him through quite nicely.
No girlfriend until college? I didn't know that the Scottish were so prudish. But then, your nameless hero is a preacher's kid, like we like to say in America, perhaps causing a rather slow and backward sexual development. ;-)
I am not sure that Olga's penpal relationship is at all, benign. Just the coaching on Russian alone is very suspicious. Olga, perhaps, is a 55-year-old man, a penpal communicator for the KGB.
I laughed when I heard that you called Morag, "lean and sporty." The lean was okay, but the sporty kind of got to me. ;-) And that name, kind of a combination of more and rag. Perhaps a common Scottish woman's name, but in American English, bit of a turnoff.
What's a lad to do with a liberal arts degree, unsure of an occupation, and an invitation to explore and exotic location expense free? No one would pass that up, would they?
Ron
Caught in a Cold war Trap (Short Story) - 5/7/2019 8:57:20 AM
I always enjoy your descriptions of the setting. So unique and as if you had been there. I'm sure that you have observed the snail crossing the road and tripped over an adder here or there. Quite precocious to think that a young lad's ire over a mistaken Russian broadcast (in English) would lead to him writing a letter, basically introducing himself as a potential recruit for the KGB… Cool

I loved these chapters what I read them before. So realistic, I felt that I was going along with Hilda on her journey. Even your description of the food was spot on.
As I read the beginning of chapter 23 and the end of Hitler, I strangely thought of the coming end of Donald Trump and his rampage through American law. Like Hitler, his followers seem to be sticking to him to the end. Although some in Congress, more political, seem to be bailing out these days. Many were elected in when the Republican Party was a different party than it is now.

Lord, Thou Knowest Better than I know myself (Article) - 1/6/2018 11:17:01 AM
Hello Mr Caldwell,
Pardon me if I have misunderstood, but are you claiming this prayer to be your own work?
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Marta Nelson
A Reluctant Spy (Article) - 10/14/2015 7:29:30 AM
Hilda's story would be some great fiction. But it's even better because it is true and written by a very good author, her grandnephew with love. It is the kind of story that is likely to be picked up for the screen by the likes of Steven Spielberg. I certainly hope that readers find it and read her fascinating experience.
Since we are of mostly German, and some Scottish, heritage, my sister took four years of German in high school. At a young age, she married a German-speaking neighbor. He was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War and sent to Germany. She followed and the occupied a rented house off base. She got to practice her conversational German with her landlady. As far as I know, she was never approached to become a spy. ;-)
I have two life stories that I haven't written. One is of a Colombian citizen serving a mandatory 20 years in a California prison for murder by failed plastic surgery. His common-law wife was my first attendant and decided that I shouldn't write the story of their lives to protect her two, then young, children. Both are now graduated from US colleges and very successful like their mother, a dermatologist. The other is a friend and occasional attendant whose entire life has been affected by being caught up in prostitution, murder, two imprisonments, and other problems. She is a good friend and wants me to tell her story. It is difficult because I would need a lot of time with her to draw the whole thing out.

Making an Author Hub (Article) - 10/2/2015 5:02:33 AM
A great idea. I have belonged to a writers' group. It was run by an English professor who was constantly setting meetings and then not showing up or coming an hour later than the meeting. There may be many authors in my 30 mile range, but getting them all together for a meeting in this bustling city may be very difficult.
If my physical condition (quadriplegic) wasn't as it is, requiring great effort on the part of my helpers to get me to meetings, I would've started a writers' group many years ago and be doing much more marketing that I have.

Is there a God ? (Article) - 12/21/2008 6:04:20 AM
Unless we are still under the rules of The Tribunal of The Inquisition, the subject of the question can only be dealt on historic linguistic ground.
– There is a word “God” in the English language, which came from
“Got” from German, “GOTT”.
Up to the eleventh century the word that meant the Supreme Ruler of the Universe in the English language was “DEUS”. On the second part of the eleventh century it became “Got” from a contraction of
“Grüss Teus”, German and Latin for “Grüss Gott”, which means “Hail God”, Zeus, Teus, Deus, same as Odin.
By the end of eleventh century Church “scholars”, decided to contract it with the word ODIN, so it was, “Grüss = hail, plus Odin and Deus. “GOD”.
To keep it as an esoteric code, a covenant was agreed to add the word HAIL to the contraction, which in German is “Grüss”, and then, the salute became, “Grüss Gott”.
So, when one says the word “GOD” – one is saluting Zeus.
This article did stimulate my imagination.
In respect,
Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Why did you kill my Mum? (Poetry) - 3/14/2017 8:00:51 AM
By coincidence, I was just looking at your autobiography… And now I see you as a poet.
Like youngsters from many members of the animal kingdom, innocence abounds. When someone from our own species is not available, we bond with those that are. Your poem is directed towards humans with a message. I certainly hope that it is heeded, because we are supposedly the smartest species and understand our own failure.
Unfortunately, I have been following chimpanzee studies from Jane Goodall onward. It seems that chimpanzee troops are very territorial, and have rigid hierarchical structures where punishments for bad behavior are very severe, including banishment. Clashes between troops can be very violent and deadly, including cannibalizing victims from the other troop. Just like us good old humans. We are very much alike. And, I forgot to mention the aberrant sexual behavior. ;-)

I too, have trees that I planted twenty-eight years ago. How amazing it is that they have grown so majestic. Sadly, there will come a time when I will have to cut them down because of the danger they pose in a storm. They have already reached that point, but I'm trimming them back in the hopes that they will not drop huge branches on my neighbor's house in a hurricane.

BEAUTIFUL! WHEN I READ THE INTRODUCTION I THOUGHT TO MYSELF...HE NEEDS TO MOVE TO GEORGIA(THE TEMPT HERE A FEW DAYS AGO WAS 69F)BUT THEN WHEN I READ ON, I MUST ADMIT...NOTHING CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF THE 'WARMTH AND CONTENTMENT' THAT TRUE GIVES, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!

Down the drain! (Poetry) - 12/16/2011 2:48:59 PM
SINCE EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO ITS BEGINNINGS WHEN IT GOES 'DOWN THE DRAIN', THEN...WHEN SOMETHING(OR SOMEONE?) GOES 'DOWN THE DRAIN'...THIS IS A GOOD THING...? I'M THINKING THAT IN 'SOME' CASES, THIS COULD BE TRUE BUT NOT ALL. HMMMMMM...A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW, INDEED! WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Down the drain! (Poetry) - 12/11/2011 1:04:38 PM
I like the parallelism created by the juxtaposition of the first four lines and the final nine, with the hint that the 'sign vehicle' "down the drain" has as its 'sense' some vast assemblage of which we are only dimly aware. This is an intriguing poem on a number of levels.
Good work, Miller.

Down the drain! (Poetry) - 12/11/2011 11:50:16 AM
Yes...well done...the line "The tea is sipped dignifiedly gripped by two strong fingers' made me smile it evoked an image of happy days in granny's kitchen when daily tea drinking was done and the little pinky had to be held a certain way ,I mastered it at a young age,yes I can relate to this poem,it brought me joy....thanks for it.
A Grace for St Andrews Day (Poetry) - 10/27/2011 3:43:25 PM

"They are after its feathers with a poisioned dart / Aiming through blue feathers at the Macaw's heart"
Wonderfully contrasted sound effects here, with the soft words and the harsh words echoing the sense of the line.
I enjoyed the poem, and found the last line hilarious. Nicely done.

All the best with your book. It is so sad when one feels there is one way out. I saw a program the other day about a 15yr old boy with manic-depression that committed suicide. I too have MD and I felt so saddened for him. Thank heavens I lean toward the manic side and not too extreme on that. Hugs to you, so great to see you. xxx

Very careful and thoughtful writing, Miller. I love the journey of quest and questioning. And, yes, I am sure God is listening and inspiring all things good into the heart, soul and will of man... whether or not man avails himself of this source of enabling power is a choice he is free to make... or not, as the case may be! Wherever there is grace, there is God, I believe. Thank you for this ponderer! And for your trip to my page today. Bless you, Kate xx

Miller,
This is a moving poem,and one with which I easily relate.
I have found that walking really helps me to get a clear view of a situation when I am faced with a challenge.Sure,there are other things we can do,but walking provides a peace that is hard to find in other exercises.
Thank you for reminding me,in such a beautiful way, of walking's benefits.
Continued success

Hi Miller,
I think both the abuser and the victim of abuse are prisoners, and need to be released from the root of their anger that caused the abuse.
Very profound and deeply meaningful poem.
Cynthia
The Performance (Poetry) - 3/25/2009 4:49:04 AM
Hi Miller,
This is a true statement, we "inherit" the mannerisms, stance, and "walk" of our parents and grandparents, it is very noticeable. I enjoyed reading it as I like brief poems full of meaty content. Nice.
Cynthia
The Prisoners Release (Poetry) - 3/16/2009 2:37:58 PM

Grief if overwhelming when we lose a loved one but to lose one because of a drunk driver must be devastating. My heart goes out to you even though I don't know you. I hope you will go be with people who care. Now is not a good time to be alone. She would want for you to be happy. Be with friends and family and celebrate the birth of Our Lord with whom your beloved wife now resides. You've written a beautiful poem that is a lasting tribute to her memory.
Peace be with you,

CHRISTMAS ALONE (Poetry) - 12/15/2008 12:34:17 PM
You have to get postivite and make it through. I lost Tom in07 in Aug and got through that first Christmas. So you must also do as so many of us author's on the den do. Look to celebrate the way she would of wanted you to go on with life. My 2nd Christmas alone with out my Tom is much easier and I am more excited. He would of wished it to be that way. Grief takes time, and I take all the time I wish but it does get a little easier as time goes by. Stay in there and keep looking at positive things now again.
