Today we have a sneak peek from the new hypernovel by Lin Robinson: Properties of Light.
This is not your ordinary kind of book. A prominent photographer quits, starts selling his pictures on the street. And for every picture, there is a story–or in this case a chapter. Some of the images relate to others, some are single visual poems; some evoke horrible cruelty or shocking sex. Many of them hang on abstruse photo-technique, optical tricks, chemical or photic phenomena: the many properties of light.
This is a true hypernovel, 100 chapters connected by clicking links, not narrative sequence. It waited 20 years for a medium that lets it work — a Kindle eBook.
Properties of Light is available from Amazon and Amazon UK.
Here is an excerpt from Properties of Light…
Chronicles of M (Book 1) is about Samuel, an everyday man who gets mixed up with an ex-government organization that houses, tends to and aids M, a super powered mutant who helps the city as much as he harms it. Their first case together will take them a small town with a mysterious murder on their hands. It’s an action filled ride with humor, magic, super powers, a dash of horror and supernatural craziness.
Here we are again at monthly post time and, as per usual, I am looking at a blank page the day before my article is due. It’s not that I deliberately wait until the eleventh hour to start my piece; occasionally I do get the germ of an idea sometime during the preceding month, that develops unconsciously, and by the time I sit down to actually write the post it virtually writes itself; but not this time.
