Public Notes

  • A. Michaelson

    A. Michaelson says

    Hi, Daniel. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. A “must read” for those on a spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including here the publisher's notes. Let me know what you think.


    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

    I looked up the phrase Null-a while reading and understood the concept but still didn't understand what it meant against the back drop of the book. Makes sense intellectually, but not contextually. If that makes sense.

    Dude, if you are liking Null-A, I would totally suggest Danger Planet (aka Red Sun of Danger) by Edmond Hamilton. It was also awarded a retro hugo the same year as Null-A. It's a mystery/logic story. Kind of like a kick arse sherlock holmes in space. Really in enjoyed it. I have an eCopy of you want me to send to you.

    I thought it was decent. I posted a review in the book details. Biggest complaint was didn't ever understand what the hell Null-A meant. Maybe I am just dumb, but Van Vogt certainly didn't lay it out in plain language. I love golden age sci-fi but this one wasn't my favorite. Feel free to check out my new book blog, Daniel.
    It's located at burblingbooks.blogspot.com. I just started it and am trying to get feedback on my writing. I am not sure if I suck. If you go I would love to have your brutal honesty. Everyone seems to be sugar coating so far.

    Daniel,

    Thanks for contacting me about this and for all your the data you've been adding to the site! Can you provide any additional details about this issue? I'd like to pass it along to an engineer so they can look into it. It's certainly not the intended behavior, so we may have a bug. I'd like to provide as much info as possible to the engineer. Any other authors or specific titles you can provide would help us troubleshoot it. Thanks again!
