If you think quantum physics/theory/mechanics is difficult try setting up an RSS blog feed to another site. Oh, for some small measure of quantum simultaneity!
Okay, so I've wanted to jump into the new world of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and this is my first big plunge -- having new entries to my Raymond Gaynor blog like this one posted at http://garymartine.yolasite.com/author-blog.php appear on my Amazon Author Central page. Following three different sets of "Really Simple Suggestions" (which by the way are anything but simple), I'm hoping that this attempt will work.
In actuality, the world of computational physics, especially quantum computing, has been slowly but relentlessly approaching application of quantum simultaneity in quantum computing. Imagine a problem with a million steps, each completed at simultaneous with the entry of the first datum. Real and total parallel computing. One computational chomp and all million steps are processed at the same time. Fast? You better believe it. Science Fiction? I think not. A radical rethinking and restructuring of everything we do in this world and how we do it? Yes, indeed. Manufacturing a complex item (like a car, or plane or weapon) instantaneously, for example. Creating new genetically engineered biologicals instantaneously, for another example. How about writing a book or making a movie a la protagonist Kate Keenan in QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016)? That's what it's all about.
Looking forward (with some trepidation) at the new world yet to come.

I was pleased to see that my most recent book, QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), published with multi-award-winning thriller writer A. G. Hayes, has received an Amsterdam Book Festival Award. While set throughout the USA and Pacific including Hawaii, the impact of the technology involved, that of quantum physics and more specifically the quantum singularity, will be of interest to everyone following CERN's new particle Super-Collider and the search for new particle characteristics. The Super-Colli...

With the 2016 release of QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) a techno-thriller I had the pleasure of writing together with multi-award-winning author A. G. Hayes, the world enters a new age of terror.
Goodbye Atomic Age, hello M-Superstring/Multi-verse Age replete with the not-so-imaginary
kvantovaya mashina smerti, KMS, or "Quantum Death Machine." Only three Cerebrus agents, the legendary Joe Falk and Susan Koski, along with Kate Keenan, stand between the world and total destruction. The fifth in A....

When A. G. Hayes asked me to work with him on his new political-techno thriller, QUANTUM DEATH, I ran to my computer and immediately began my contributions. It was an easy write: Everything flowed like water down a waterfall, as if Koski and Falk were talking directly to me about their adventure. Koski in particular talked directly to my heart.
Where in the world could something as sinister as the the
kvantovaya mashina smerti -- the 'Quantum Death Machine' -- come from you might ask? And is ...

I'm so pleased to announce that Raymond Gaynor has just completed a manuscript entitled QUANTUM DEATH with A. G. Hayes for the fifth in his popular Koski and Falk series. It was a joy writing this politico-techno-thriller with multi-award-winning author A. G. Hayes, one I will long cherish. The manuscript was immediately picked up by Savant Books and Publications and has an anticipated release date of mid-2016.
This is my first decidedly non-gay work, Koski and Falk being a legendary female-m...

OK - it's all my fault! I've been remiss in sitting down before my trusty MacBook and going onto the internet to attend to my blogging. But I promise you, it's been for a good reason: I've been busy emailing co-author
William Maltese about when
Wildside/Borgo will be releasing our m/m erotic political thriller, TOTAL MELTDOWN, only to find that Wildside/Borgo claims it is nearing immanent release! Hopefully we'll hear something this week or next, and we can all run down to our nearest boo...

I just got back to the Bay area in time for the debut of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." I suspect you're going to tell me that HP isn't gay, it's a straight as an arrow children's story. And as for erotic, well, I'm sure its a matter of taste as to whether you find werewolves, evil and all things vaguely Wiccan erotic. It's the last third of m/m erotic romance, I'm talking of. Yeah, the romance part. That, HP has aplenty in my opinion. What's interesting to me is its context.

It's great to be back in San Francsico and the good ole' USA. The warm sun and cool breezes here in the Bay Area are unlike anywhere I've been in the world. I couldn't help but drive over the inviting Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and steal a couple recouperatiive hours at the ocean at Point Reyes National Seashore. The golden fields passing by on both sides of my open-air MGB reminded me of the words of Katerine Lee Bates in "America the Beautiful" - "O beautiful for spacious skies, For...

My sojourn in the world of things feudal Japanese having come to an end, I'm now flying high over the Pacific on my way to my beloved San Francisco with a short stop in Honolulu, for a last Mai Tai, of course. My otherwise mundane trip (compared to "LOST") livened up briefly when I joined a Sophia's m/m erotic romance author's discussion at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sophia_titheniel/. Fun and even more interesting when the lovely passenger sitting next to me looked over onto the screen o...

Although immersed at the moment in things Japanese, I took a
moment to write a short fictitious satire on The Fourth of July based
on an experience I had there. I posted it to Frothing Authors and immediately realized it deserved to appear here also:
The Fourth of July is one of the strangest holidays in no-man's-land Hawaii.
On
the outside, Hawaii looks very America, USA, thank-you-very-much:
American streets, American stop signs and street lights, American
police, American English. Well, that... Continue reading...

As some of you know, I left Hawaii a few days ago for Japan to completing the background research for my next novel, "The Sword of Kamehameha," set in 1260 feudal Japan and Hawaii. The last couple of days, I've been meeting with traditional Japanese sword-makers, learning about how swords were made in the 1200's. I was surprised to find that traditional Japanese sword-makers can recount the evolution of their techniques back over a thousand years. That means that the Sword of Kamehameha proba...

There's something about walking a thousand year-old, tree-lined street of feudal Kyoto in the afternoon, then grabbing a bullet train to end the day at 3 a.m. in the glittering neon-crusted night streets of modern Tokyo that is so mind-boggling as to drive one to madness. Which reminds me of "The Edge of Madness" book I'm working on even now as I travel throughout Japan trying to catch a whiff of its flavor, over 800 years ago around the mid-1200's BCE.
Picking up where "Total Meltdown" (Wild...

OK, enough of that Hawaiiana stuff - Aloha to Paradise, I'm off to Japan to check out sword manufacturing in the 1200's and meet with some master sword makers (that after visiting Seville a while back to check out ancient and modern Spanish sword manufacturing). Did you know I fenced in college? I competed in both foil and epee, later participating in saber till I got tired of the welt marks - our version of warrior tatoos. I'm also looking forward to visiting some of the likely historical...

Several days ago, I went in search of Hawaii - it's past I mean - modern Hawaii wears its history on short Aloha shirt sleeves - I traveled to one of the few active archeological sites on Oahu with a restored heiau (temple).
Temple always meant to me something imposing in which everyone stood in awe. The heiau at Waimea Bay, site of a once thriving Hawaiian settlement, was awesome but not in an imposing way, rather in a supposing way. The stone tiers upon which the temple area is built wer...

Today was Coffee Talk Romance GLBT Discussion day, and I enjoyed posting excerpts from "Kingsley & I" and my newest release, "Kingsley & I Together." It was a fun discussion, and I hope you will visit and look over the interesting information that was teased from me. I also talked about "Total Meltdown" a bit, and some more about what I'm doing right now in Hawaii researching my next work tentatively entitled "The Sword of Kamehameha."
This afternoon I'm off to look for the "Birthing Stone...

A month or so ago, when I was reflecting on my XXXX HOT m/m erotic romance political thriller manuscript entitled
Total Meltdown that I had just completed, a sudden thought occurred to me: I had asked fellow writer William Maltese to write a short cover blurb for another work I had just completed,
Kingsley & I Together, and being an admirer of his, sent him the manuscript to read. One thing led to another and soon William at my invitation had his sleeves rolled up and was licking the sharp ...

Yes, well, starting with a title like that, what can I possibly say that would maintain the drama (thump, thump, thump - that's my and I hope your heartbeat pulsing anxiously and expectantly). Actually I spent all morning following up on yesterday's trip to Kaimana Beach in Waikiki. That's across the street from Queen Kapiolani Park. Instead of working on "The Sword of Kamehameha" yesterday after blogging like I planned, I got engrossed in reading Mark Twain's "Roughing It," and his journa...
