Whether you are a student or simply find yourself intimidated by Shakespeare’s verbiage, this is the novelization for you.

"To Be, or Not to Be, That is the Question."

Here is the novelization of Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. It has been adapted to allow modern readers of the 21st Century to enjoy the work of The Bard.

Whether you are a student or perhaps have simply been intimidated by Shakespeare's text, this is the novelization for you.

Excerpt from the Author’s Foreword:

I had many reasons for wanting to write a novelization of Hamlet, but the simplest reason was for my mother. And people like her.

"I’ve always wanted to read Hamlet," she once insisted, "but I just can’t understand what they’re saying. I can’t understand Shakespeare."

That got me to thinking: How many people like my mother are out there? How many people would relish Shakespeare’s work, if only they had a little help following the dialogue?

(1) I would "translate" the language, though not to sound "modern," per se. I would just ... nudge the words a bit, while leaving them in their original setting.

(2) I would elaborate in the prose as to what each character might have been doing/thinking/feeling at any given point. And thus, the dialogue would become more clear, as the reader would have a greater sense of context.

Do I hope pleasure-readers will find it more accessible now? Yes! Do I hope that perhaps students might be able to use this text as a learning aide? Sure!
So here is my interpretation of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. I hope you find the Bard’s text easier to understand, but at the same time, I am asking you to "put your Thinking Caps on." After all, this is still Shakespeare; I’m just hoping to help you understand the story that much better. I’ve tweaked, I’ve rearranged, I’ve converted ... but whenever possible, I’ve left things as unaltered as I could.

Book Two in the PARANORMALS series!

Six years ago, when the White Flash washed over planet Earth, it left behind an unbelievable legacy: A small number of people changed — some instantaneously, some months or years later — giving them superhuman abilities. Sadly, most of these paranormals have chosen to use these gifts for their own selfish goals. Only a handful have joined the Paranormal Control Agency to help stop these rogues, with even fewer choosing the path of the hero.

But the Paranormal Effect was not the only astonishing change to take place. Within 24 hours of the White Flash's appearance, SETI detected its first extraterrestrial radio signal ... and then another ... and then another.

At any other time in history, this would have been the biggest news of our generation, but for the majority of the global population, the superhumans among us took precedence over voices drifting from light-years away.

Except some of those voices are getting closer. A lot closer.

Now Vortex, Powerhouse, Lieutenant Takayasu and Shockwave must deal with more than superhuman criminals. They must face the wondrous rewards and the terrible consequences of our learning that We Are Not Alone.

College students Neil Carpenter and Mark Hudson set out to create "The Triumvirate," a comic book about a vampire and werewolf who resist their evil natures and hunt their own kind. When Neil learns hypnosis in his Psychology class, he proposes using it to enrich the characters — they could hypnotize themselves into thinking that they are the characters, then exchange interviews. To test the idea, Neil assumes the identity of the vampire — the independently wealthy and deeply religious Alistaire Bachman. The Game begins . . . a Game that leads to a whirlwind of confusion, murder, and impossibility.
