• AFooW-001: Prologue, Scene 1
    Oct 14 2021

    Reading of A Fish out of Water: Prologue - Scene 001. These readings are to gain an audience and find support as I finish my book (planned for the end of 2021). I'll read the book thus far, scene by scene, and make new recordings daily. Hopefully I'll get better at it as I go along ;)

    I believe creative goods should be free, so I provide them here at no cost. If you like what I do, please consider supporting me, either here on Patreon, or else through PayPal (see below). Here you can choose from 1 of 7 tiers (Pet, Pub, Civil, Pirate, Com, Angel, Stakeholder) and support ranges between 1 and 7 dollars (USD) a month. Each tier gets you access to ad-free content, and, starting at Pirate and above, you'll also get acknowledgement on my website decent.rabbl.org. I'll also be providing patrons with early content (such a as rough draft of the manuscript), and I am open to adding other benefits, if you ask :)

    My dream is to be a writer, to live from what I write. Paying me will help me achieve that dream, first by supporting me as I finish my book, including any proofreading and publishing fees later down the road. It will also allow me to buy better equipment (right now I am recording everything on my phone). There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in writing and researching behind what I write, work that has yet (as of this writing) to earn me a dime. I don't do it for the money; I do it for the love of writing, and I know I'd be lucky to get paid for doing what I love.

    By the way, I also do other work for a living! I am a proofreader, copywriter, and Cambridge CELTA-trained English teacher. You can check out all my English Language Services on offer at https://finaldraft.cc (available in English and German).

    Thank you for you time.

    With love,

    LA

  • AFooW-004: Prologue, Scene 4
    Oct 19 2021

    A Fish out of Water – an #ecofriendly #syntopian #scifi #novel – Reading by Lawrence Anders.


    Phi—who has yet to become Phi—is fished out of the water by the crew of the Sleepy Goat and their enigmatic Pretend Captain. They find him floating in the Mediterranean, the lone survivor of a ship sunk by pirates, though Phi’s former commanding officers blame him. Hunted by the Contract military, but suddenly free of the chip that all people of his kind have, this contract marine and brain doctor learns that these fishers are in fact Archangels, a clandestine group of modern Robin Hoods. Asked whether he’d wish to live the Northern Dream or join the Angels, the first real choice in his life, the answer is obvious.


    So Phi goes off to the Angels’ not-so-secret base in Algiers, where he meets others like him, as well as Rubia—a loud-mouthed hypersentient bird. Together, they become the Pirate Hunters, vigilantes within a group of vigilantes, saving other hypers that are abused by their human masters and so upholding the original meaning of the Archangel creed. Yet an old enemy of the Angels, the pirates known as the Barbarossa Brotherhood, reappear in Benghazi after three decades, threatening to kill Rubia’s Pack and enslave humanity with a devastating new weapon. Was it the Brotherhood that sank Phi’s ship?


    Set in a time when gen-life has replaced natural life, A Fish out of Water follows Phi as he fights pirates and learns an alternative history of the world in the past (next) three centuries. AFooW is the first of a planned seven books in Lawrence Ander’s synthtopian ecofantasy, A Garden of Earthly Delights, or, The Pirate Hunters.


    These readings by Lawrence Anders will go through the manuscript, scene by scene. They are intended to gather an audience as he finishes his novel, planned for the end of 2021. That way he hopes to support his dream to become a published author.
