Welcome to Robert Raymond's Blogtorium

Welcome to my site, where my works are showcased and my silliness on view for all to see. Agents (and voyeurs) can thumb through my submissions (I'm always looking for representation). There are also my blogs (on life, on books, on movies) to rise howls of derision from the crowd.

Sam I am!
I’m Robert Raymond, writer and author, husband and cat-partner, model railroader and cyclist.

I’m in my sixties, a resident of the bland city of Orlando (what’s the difference between Orlando and Yogurt? Yogurt has live culture). I commuted to work by bike several times a week for decades.

The “Early ReTyrement” Challenge!

What would you do if you fell backwards in time?

Yes, all these iron-age boners are still head-scratching over smelting while you can make silicon circuits dance. You’d be a wizard! A king!

Wouldn’t you?

But all these things around you that grant that superiority: computers, cars, flush toilets; could you produce them? Could you reconstruct the tools, techniques and processes to recreate them, all the way down to their building blocks? Do you know what it takes to make a spark? A sheet of paper? A pencil? A paperclip?

Join Mason Trellis, hapless castaway in a temporal drainhole, as he struggles with that very question – What can a modern technological end-user do when he’s two millennium from the nearest wall socket, twenty-four centuries shy of plastics, and 4700 miles from gunpowder?
