MEET THE GODDESS OF LOVE


Silverlock started with a shipwreck.  These new adventures begin with a barroom brawl and a surprise visit from Venus, goddess of love and other natural disasters.  "Hi, Sugar," she says, "got a match?"

From that moment on George is a man with a mission - a pilgrim in pursuit of happiness on a road traveled by folks a scientist rarely meets: the happy-go-lucky ne'er-do-wells of the arts.

Will George survive?  The high road to his heart's desire is paved with quite enough perils for one star-crossed scientist - forced by fate to learn the arts of love and letters.  Stay tuned...

Birth: 11 Jan 1906 Northport, Long Island, New York, USA
Death: 30 Oct 1988

Notes:
From the back of the 1984 edition of The Moon's Fire Eating Daughter's "About the Author":

Courtesy of John Caldwell and Alice O'Neil McCorry Myers, I was born on January 11, 1906 in Northport, Long Island, where I was named for John Myers, my grandfather, the extra Myers, sparing me a dynastic "II" as per race horses, czars and yachts.

After conning books at St. Stephens, Middlebury and the University of New Mexico I spent a year traipsing around Western Europe and part of another following the Danube from Vienna down to the Black Sea.

On this side of the Atlantic I wandered, shouldering a knapsack, drank Prohibition under the table and functioned as a newspaperman in New York and Texas. Finding more fun than profit on the Pacific Coast next, I dug in as an advertising copy writer after skedaddling back to Manhattan.  Thence, for a change of chores, I joined a pair of cronies who had squatted on one of the Sea Islands of South Carolina.  The idea was a back to the soil stint, but as wild woods hogs guzzled our crops, we throve only by trapping them, stoking them with corn and marketing them as Pork.

Hog ranching didn't represent my true bent, however, so I returned to New York and hung out my shingle as a writer.  But in due course the Army beckoned, with the consequences that I put in five years as an enlisted man and officer of the Armored Force during World War junior.  Soldier's compensation took the form of meeting Miss Charlotte Shanahan while I was stationed at Fort Knox.  Married in 1943, C. S. Myers and I now live out in the chaparral cock country north and east of Mesa, Arizona, within visiting range of our two daughters.

Aside from writing while in Arizona I have taught it at Arizona State University, where I also conducted a writer's conference and assembled a Western Americana collection for the University Li-brary.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
