About Sortmind.com |
Sortmind.com Home |
sortmind.com is intended as a useful overview of my art and writing, also as a repository of sample work where I can point interested people. As of August 2010 I also maintain a blog at blog.sortmind.com.
My wife, Nancy Remp Smith, has a web site, www.geoshaman.com, concerned with channeling, shamanism, Norse and Egyptian gods, and the Blue People. It also contains numerous images of her paintings.
Background Notes
Sortmind is a novel I wrote about the Telepathic Database, urban architectural wars, and two sets of aliens with opposing ideas about how to deal with the human race. "Sortmind" is the name of the program that runs the Telepathic Database. I wrote the first version of this novel from 1987-1991 and thoroughly revised it 2007-2010.
There is also a 1988 painting Sortmind, a 2007 Trilogy Triptych, and a page of Sortmind Trilogy Images, including depictions of numerous characters in the novel.
Bio
I was raised in the Northeast and the Chicago area, then moved to Texas to attend Rice University, where I developed as a writer and visual artist. In addition to exhibiting and selling paintings and drawings, I’ve completed fourteen novels. I recently placed a novella, The First Twenty Steps, on both Barnes and Noble’s PubIt and on amazon.com’s Kindle Direct Publishing in order to offer some sample work and to experiment with e-publishing processes. My science fiction novel The Martian Marauders is scheduled to be published by Double Dragon Publishing in January 2012, with the second and third books in the series, Jack Commer, Supreme Commander, and Nonprofit Ladies, to follow.
My writing in both literary and science fiction genres uses humor to investigate psychological and spiritual themes. My web site, www.sortmind.com, contains further examples of my novels and visual art, and I muse about writing and art processes on my blog, www.blog.sortmind.com.
