A Calculated Embellishment

Bradley Wind

Abel Velasco counts the number of times his aunt hits him. Abel counts many things. He can’t help it – he’s a savant.


It is 1982. Abel has left foster care to live with his newly found cousin and abusive aunt. His typical teenage struggles are compounded by the complication of his savant talents.
Searching for a challenge, Abel becomes obsessed with the mysterious architecture of an abandoned mansion and strangely numbered bible, launching his journey from suburban New Jersey to Berkeley, California and beyond.

Dr. Darold A. Treffert, author of "Extraordinary People," consultant for the movie "Rainman" and expert on savant syndrome wrote to me: "Savant syndrome typically is present from birth as a part of some developmental disorder, including autism. But there are also cases of what I call "acquired savant" syndrome following head injury. The Acquired Savant raises interesting questions about the little Rain Man that might reside, perhaps, within us all."

A CALCULATED EMBELLISHMENT is a story of developing genius.

The Novel is complete [114K words]
First 6 chapters on Authonomy

BULB

BRADLEY WIND

BULB is the future - a future in which private moments are accessible by all and society is free - to blossom.


Your entire life is available for instant replay in the Grand Archive. Your birth, your first kiss, last night’s dinner or this morning’s bathroom visit, all there – for anyone. And that's a good thing. Less ego, less crime, less money spent on clothes.

Now Dr. Luc R. Mamon, the Grand Archive’s creator, has greater designs, to “better humanity”. But he needs Ben and his conjoined twin brothers to make it happen. When Ben stumbles on the doctor’s plans, he finds himself in a tangled political and spiritual skein that threatens to unravel the mysteries of his own past.

BULB is a crossover novel, combining speculative fiction with a love story entwined in a mysterious history.

Manuscript complete at 100K.
