    About this ebook

    A series of short 'flights of fancy' which connect inspired writing with an exploration of deeper emotions giving rise to how we seek to express ourselves through our creative writings. These follow the pattern of our "Mozart's Brain" and "Mozart's Brain, Too" broadsheets

    Wim Baren

    About The Author, Wim BarenWim Baren is the author’s pen name. He lives a stone’s throw from Colonial Williamsburg, a place rich in history. He imagines himself a novelist. He’s written two full-length tales set in long-ago times. He’s also written a couple of short stories, and a bunch of short broadsheets about his creative writing experiences and insights. All of these are on Smashwords, and almost all of them are free.As of the date of this writing, he’s feverishly inventing two new tales, also set in ancient times. One is a sequel to “The Crimson Emperor” – a fabulously romantic tale about Byzantium known by practically nobody – and another is an alternative history surrounding the Empress Theodora of Byzantium, a larger-than-life novel about the most powerful woman in the 6th century world at the time. That period of the Eastern Roman Empire did not lack excitement, to say the least...So, with a spouse he dotes upon and a pleasant prospect over which his front entrance looks to stimulate his thoughts, he’s got a quiet and most enjoyable lifestyle. Would that everybody could enjoy the same, or more...Thought and ideas are welcome, courteously done.mailto:wbwemple@aol.com
