Together with the TV show The Twilight Zone, it turned an already budding interest in writing to reading and writing about space and science and fantasy and sci-fi and things that go bump in the night. I had a Charlie Brown Peanuts coloring book at a very young age. I like to say that Charlie and the Peanuts gang taught me how to read, and Ray Bradbury taught me how to dream.

My Wishlist
Seems like I have always been writing in one form or another all of my life. At an early age, writing for me was a way of dealing with a world I didn't quite understand. Even young, I found irony all around me, an irony grown ups didn't seem to notice. Professionally, my first publication came while I was still in high school, a poem published in Encounter: Oct 28, Apex Reviews rated it it was amazing. Elysian Dreams, by B. Neblett, is an intriguing offering of fantasy fiction. Add to that a motley mix of characters and their curious backstories, and you have a page-turning literary delight.
Elysian Dreams chronicles the lives of a trio of individuals from various different backgrounds — lives that are about to change in ways they could never imagine. Wherea Elysian Dreams, by B. As their lives repeatedly intersect, the unwitting characters find themselves drawn together for reasons only a mysterious, mystical figure seems to understand, and their resulting adventure soon reaches multi-dimensional proportions.
The telling of such a fantastical tale as Elysian Dreams is not an easy task, particularly when it comes to character development, but Neblett does an excellent job of providing just enough detail and crafting compelling, convincing characters in the weaving of a winding narrative sure to leave a lasting impression on the reader. The variety of issues Neblett addresses, along with his highly skillful storytelling, sets Elysian Dreams apart as an insightful volume worthy of longstanding reflection.

I really liked the first two stories.
See a Problem?
They were well-connected and seemed tightly intertwined, but although I did like the third story, I felt like it was more distant in the future and not as connected to the first two. Could've posed as its own book, it was such a captivating - and different - story. Jan 17, B.
