July 02, 2018 Bonus! Incarnation Excerpt 6
This bonus is an excerpt from my novel, Incarnation and a Cliff Notes-style cheat sheet below in the notes. The book follows a journalist, an actor, a writer, and a programmer whose dreams and desires play out together on the global stage, again and again. Each time, they find meaning as they spin on life's mysterious wheel of fortune.
This is excerpt 6. I am also excerpting the Incarnation Cheat Sheet that lives on my website, below. You can find Incarnation, the book, at Amazon.com.
[SPOILER ALERT!]
Incarnation is, deliberately, a bit of a puzzle. For readers who linger with books until their memory gets fuzzy, or those who read the last page of a book first, or who like having the solution to a crossword puzzle handy, the following cheat sheet notes the relationships and pivotal moments of the incarnations in the novel.
Chapter Three: The Birth of Veritage
Now as adults, during the incarnation from Chapter One when Ryoko is married to Joey Coe, she interviews Krishna about the software that will become Veritage. She has an affair with Krishna.
The Association of Television Broadcasters (ATB) helps establish the Veritage program with offices in New York.
Jose Juarez becomes President of the United States. Veritage successfully fights his administration’s attempts at censorship.

June 12, 2018Bonus! Incarnation Excerpt 5 plus Cheat Sheet
This bonus is an excerpt from my novel, Incarnation and a Cliff Notes-style cheat sheet below in the notes. The book follows a journalist, an actor, a writer, and a programmer whose dreams and desires play out together on the global stage, again and again. Each time, they find meaning as they spin on life's mysterious wheel of fortune.
This is excerpt 5. I am also excerpting the Incarnation Cheat Sheet that lives on my website, below. You can find Incarnation, the book, at Amazon.com.
[SPOILER ALERT!]

For readers who linger with books until their memory gets fuzzy, or those who read the last page of a book first, or who like having the solution to a crossword puzzle handy, the following cheat sheet notes the relationships and pivotal moments of the incarnations in the novel. (Below, I include the cheat sheet for the entire chapter we're hearing excerpted. The whole cheat sheet is here.)
Chapter Two: Ryoko and Krishna
In another incarnation, Joseph acts differently in the pivotal moment when he meets Ryoko. They do not become a couple, as they did in Chapter One.
In still another incarnation, Joseph, as a young boy, is a pawn in
the marital strife of his parents. His mother is having an affair
with Rusty, who calls Joseph, “Jacquot.” She and Rusty move, with
Jacquot, to France.
Ryoko, as a young journalist, goes to France for
a vacation — and to fish for a story. She meets Jacquot, who is now a
film director. They have a romance.
On returning to New York, Ryoko meets Krishna, who has studied
computer science at RPI in New York. He has invented a TV
commenting system Ryoko dubs “Veritage.” Ryoko and Krishna begin a
romance. Jacquot, though geographically distant, hopes to rekindle
his romance with Ryoko. She comes, with Krishna, to the screening
of his film at Cannes. Ryoko remains with Krishna, and Jacquot
meets Blanche Dubois.
In another incarnation, Joseph’s father kept the young boy when
Rusty took his mother to France. Joseph visited them annually,
while studying art in New York. Joseph becomes interested in film
and studies directing in Poland. He returns to New York and opens
a film company with a partner, Silvio.

The book follows a journalist, an actor, a writer, and a programmer whose dreams and desires play out together on the global stage, again and again. Each time, they find meaning as they spin on life's mysterious wheel of fortune.
This is excerpt 4. I am also excerpting the Incarnation Cheat Sheet that lives on my website, below. You can find Incarnation, the book, at Amazon.com.
[SPOILER ALERT!]
Incarnation is, deliberately, a bit of a puzzle. For readers who linger with books until their memory gets fuzzy, or those who read the last page of a book first, or who like having the solution to a crossword puzzle handy, the following cheat sheet notes the relationships and pivotal moments of the incarnations in the novel. (Below, I include the cheat sheet from the beginning of the book to the point we get to in this excerpt. The whole cheat sheet is here.)
Chapter One: Ryoko and Joey
Joseph Jones is married to Ryoko. Lucy is married to Billy.
Joseph describes the pivotal moment as a teenager when he met Ryoko. She
nicknamed him Joey Coe, which he ultimately uses as his stage name in
this, and similar incarnations.
Krishna is a teenager in India. He describes the pivotal moment involving Kamalita when he must choose whether to defy his father. In the first incarnation described, he
honors his father’s wishes, takes over the family business, and stays
in India. He marries Kamalita. At the age of 65, Krishna meets an odd
yogi who tells him that he is is to go to America. He slips on the
steps beside the Ganges, and dies.
In another incarnation, he is
outraged at the pivotal moment with Kamalita and becomes estranged
from his father. He moves to America, where he studies computer
programming.
Chapter Two: Ryoko and Krishna
In another incarnation, Joseph acts differently in the pivotal moment
when he meets Ryoko. They do not become a couple, as they did in
Chapter One.
In still another incarnation, Joseph, as a young boy, is a pawn in
the marital strife of his parents. His mother is having an affair
with Rusty, who calls Joseph, “Jacquot.” She and Rusty move, with
Jacquot, to France.
Ryoko, as a young journalist, goes to France for a vacation — and to
fish for a story. She meets Jacquot, who is now a film director. They
have a romance.
