View full postI adore Downton Abbey. I don’t watch much television but that show has me riveted. I’m interested in the lives of the servants, but I also love the costumes and the screen writing is brilliant. What a way with dialogue! I like the show cuts from scene to scene, keeping the plot moving. The other …

The people of Leicester is quite happy about this since it will be a great tourist attraction and so they have plans for a museum. The archeologists were holding off on saying …

According to Plato, art is the imitation of nature. Nature in turn is the imitation of heavenly ideals, making art an imitation of an imitation. The romantics held out that …

Lizzie Newell creates art and fiction about the planet Fenria, world of fjords, high tides, and fishing. Here men are mariners and fishermen, high-tech maritime hunters. Bravely they earn their living on the seas,while women control the domains of government, industry, education, and law.
I believe in the innate dignity of every being, and that individuals can live freely through understanding ourselves and our environment.

Hi, Lizzie
This is Arne. We briefly talked at the “Resolve to Write” gathering Friday evening, January 11, 2013. To concisely answer your question about what I write: There are two of my works that might nudge against a genre called Northern Speculative Fiction.
One: The Lid, where Anne, a mysterious old Alaskan Native woman uses her powers to mysteriously “appear” before the protagonist and stubbornly guide him to an event that heals his post traumatic stress disorder. This work is also a screen play.
The other: Banto Carbon and the Prehistoric Proboscis, a novella about a man with a secret past and supernatural powers who has a commonplace, mundane job in the Juneau museum. He’s forced into an adventure in the Chugach Mountains. He must use his special supernatural powers.
My website can be googled: Alaska eBooks Alaskan Authors. First chapters are there.
It was a pleasure briefly meeting you. I enjoyed the gathering of writers.
