Back to Basics

This month I begin my eighth book, now that my seventh book is finally completed and published. Book #7 is a novella called Blind Fool Running that I wrote under the pen name Jonco Bugos. As usual, Lulu.com will be publishing this novella. This book is literary fiction but it's still part of my "Science Fiction for Thinkers" collection because of the metaphysical themes involved.

Now, back to the writing desk.

Author's Note: No, "Blind Fool Running" by Jonco Bugos has nothing to do with the Jonco Bugos blog. Jonco Bugos (my alter ego) is the pen name I use for writing literary fiction and for writing the Jonco Bugos blog and the Think-A-Holic Lounge blog.

Nuts & Bolts

In my novels I employ science fiction themes such as alien abduction, the artificial creation of life (as opposed to the worn-out, cookie-cutter creation of artificial life theme — two different concepts entirely), time travel, the afterlife, the dreamworld and supernatural phenomena in order to explore these topics for their own merit.

But I also use them as vehicles for exploring many contemporary issues such as copycat business practices, consumer responsibility, unethical health care policies and the need for national health care insurance, racism and bigotry, responsible public behavior, diversity, technological dependency, misplaced values, false patriotism, shadow government activity and unbridled personal ambition.

I do this through in-depth character development, semi-omniscient narration, action and dialogue, all in the third person. Oh, I forgot to mention that I also inject a little foul language (not much compared to most fiction these days), some romance (but no graphic sex whatsoever), violence (only that which is necessary for character and plot development) and a lot of lampooning and humor.

Something for everyone but the biggest offering is adventure for thinkers and seekers.
