Blogs From Another Dimension

A friend of mine was unable to stand the suspense of the blogs posted on the site created by my Spanish publisher, Minotauro... blogs supposedly written by Ruth Goldman. She asked a neighbor to translate, and here's what we've got! My mind is still croggling. It looks to me like fiction based on fiction, because this Ruth's background is not the background of *my* Ruth.

What you read here is a blog entry from an alternate universe!



The exhaustion of the week is already beginning to take its toll and my capacity for concentration is not the same. The pressure that the Pentagon exercises on its team of scientists is enormous and although I adore my work, one of these days Iʼll leave my eyes in one of these microscopes. Once again yesterday, I took with me all the documentation on the latest advances with the nano-robots home and, when I wanted to give an account, I woke up lying on the sofa surrounded by files and papers. I have promised myself that I would never again bring work home with me. This time Iʼll do it.

Washington DC is a great city but at this time of year, when the good weather begins, that is when I most regret not living in California, by the sea, enjoying endless walks on the beach. If I listened (?) to my mom, sheʼd start in and throw my scare and empty private life in my face again.

This morning I called mom saying that I was going to go the doctor, that there were days that small wounds would appear on my hands that had scared and healed. Since dad died, these are the typical situations in which I feel somewhat guilty being alone. I told him that I will try to see this through soon however, with the load of work that we have ultimately, itʼs not going to be done easily. Perhaps in the month of July I can manage to escape for a few days.

Today they have assured me that this week the reports on the last advances in military nanotechnology developed by NASA will arrive. They have done a lot of experimentation with this technology and to date; the results have not been too encouraging. This time it seems that the last tests have been successful. I am anxious to see what these little bastards are capable of.

Huh? Appears that the person they have blogging for Ruth hasn't read your book. Their loss!!!
 
The publisher at Minotauro tells me that they decided to create as much additional background as possible... yes, in somewhat alternate scenarios, since neither Ruth Goldman nor her family ever lived west of the Mississipi. Also, the character Paul Hooper is, er, fictional. I mean, he's not even the books themselves; he's a skier of their own creation, who will soon begin to deliver blog entries describing the horror he's witnessing as the plague spreads.

Kinda makes you want to in the mountains in Aspen, doesn't it!?

Hee hee.
