Novels


The name of this blog is taken from the title of a futuristic novel. It is the first volume of three, all tracing the history of the Ghulf clan.

To purchase Ghulf Genes, the novel, you can do so here. The second in the series, In Search of Anna Magna, is available here. You can obtain both books on Amazon.com as well. Ask for my name and the titles.

The third volume, Anna's Song, is completed but not yet published. Current projections suggest publications in May of this year. The cover shown is provisional. Indeed the publisher, Dwarf Planet Press, is thinking of producing all three with different covers.

To learn more about these books, visit Dwarf Planet Press here. For a look at my complete bibliography, please visit Ghulf Records on this site. You might also check out postings on the subject here, using “Ghulf Genes” under the Categories label below to assemble them for you.

Those of you who’d like to read samples from the three books this trilogy, two of which are available for sale now, the third of which is marching into print, can do so at these three sites maintained by Editorial Code and Data, Inc., the corporate home of Dwarf Planet Press:

Just for fun, I will here reproduce a "title page" for Ghulf Genes that I prepared for Dwarf Planet Press "in the seventeenth century manner." Here it is:

A Substance that enabled any two little old Ladies to lift a Grand Piano
As if it were a Laundry Basket
WHENCE CAME
ENOURMOUS WEALTH
WHICH IN TURN
Lead to Tulips on MARS and Gas Sucking Ships around VENUS
NOT LEAST
WHALES ON RAILS
Which is to say that thus began, NOT ended, the great Reach of
THIS PECULIAR FAMILY
Whose later exploits produced enormous Wonders and Discoveries,
Also Anguish, Trouble, and Trauma,
Tales of Love,
Assassinations,
And vast Transformations at Home and Abroad—
The revelation of the details of which
AT THIS EARLY STAGE
Would rob the eager Reader
Of much Delight and deprive Him and especially Her
Of that sad Feeling, at the End,
That, sigh and alas, it is All Over—
Only, of course, it Isn’t…
