The Vivarium Chronicles: Mosaic Caverns and The Glass Planet; Parts One, Two and Three?
The Vivarium Chronicles: Mosaic Caverns and The Glass Planet; Parts One, Two and Three?
Catherine's story begins well before the first sentence read in Mosaic Caverns. She suffers from the loss of three stillbirths, the rejection, and divorce from her ex-husband.
When her sister's daughter moves to Dallas with her fiancé, Catherine's lust for life is rekindled.
Tragedy strikes again, setting her on a soul-searching journey deep into the Colombian Amazon Jungle, where she's mysteriously directed toward an ancient Inca dig site, leading her to discover the legendary Mosaic Caverns.
Alongside her is Jürgen, a colleague she attended a graduate paleontology class with, who was a Graduate Assistant, ten years older than her.
Jürgen quotes George Bernard Shaw, often sarcastical, satirical, or ironical, none more than: "Many truths begin as blasphemies."
Two interwoven subplot lines expand and deepen the protagonists' journey, with the main plot serving dynamically to reach a multi-climactic, meaningful ending.
In The Glass Planet classic version, Catherine and Jürgen's alliance is tested and tried under the auspices of the data processing, algorithm-defining, thought-control, and propaganda network of RAKLAV.

A Biography
The Vivarium Chronicles: Mosaic Caverns and The Glass Planet; Parts One, Two and Three?
At theglassplanetlaunch.com, I craft blog posts that not only engage you but also align with our brand's voice.
With a focus on quality and relevance, I ensure that each piece is well-researched and tailored to craft specificity to meet unique needs.
Writing comes naturally to me; it's the editing that polishes the manuscript that I've learned first in high school, then in college, and independently by using the University of Chicago Press literary editing rules.
My stories have a moral core and incorporate current topics in some form within their world-building and plot.
With a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast and print journalism, I wrote articles for the University newspaper and began submitting short stories to fiction contests.
My training included Associated Press editing style and proofreading.
I wrote short plays and scenes for the stage while a founding member and the Producing Director of The Myriad Sea Theater Company in NYC from 1999 to 2001.
I spent a decade in Los Angeles pursuing acting work while continuing to write screenplays and learning the craft of line-producing from the acclaimed Hollywood line producer Dov Siemens.
I realized my dream with an independent publishing journey in 2022 with the publication of The Glass Planet, followed by Mosaic Caverns in 2023.
Harry Armpetz, A Dark Romantic Comedy, is my third published novel and reflects powerfully on the salad days of my early adulthood.
Set in New Haven, CT 1994, and in between two stints of living in the Yale graduate ghetto on Orange Street when the inspiration for the locations, a strong relationship to the characters, and experiences translated into the story establishing a rich backdrop of a tight University neighborhood where if you're not a graduate student or a professor, than you are a business owner, lawyer, doctor, or artist who call the Trumbull to Audobon Streets their office space.
The theme is a critically sensitive development in the early 1990's when studies indicated the negative impacts of cover model beauty, and the introduction of American Television to the Fiji Islands in 1994, directly influence adolescent and teenage girls to practice bulimia, anorexia and the desperate impulse to reverse Fijian culture that valued vigourous, robust women over frail, and thin perceived as insufficient for child birthing.
The debut of Let Freedom Reign, Volume One, a 73-page book featuring thirty-three eclectic poems, brings into focus the subjects, conflicts, and domestic commonalities we take for granted in our free society.
Although not a 'pledge of the allegiance'- themed book, due respect is paid to the pillars of democracy and the significance of immigrant inclusion.
The triumphs and atrocities have their origins in our shared history, as we strive to create a more perfect Union.
Let Freedom Reign, volume Two, is expected to launch on June 1, 2026.
I spend most of my time writing and traveling to historic locations and natural parks. I enjoy reading a stirring story and lounging on my patio chair for an entire afternoon. For me as an author, books are a personal experience shared with every reader, with a unique connection to each.

The Glass Planet Economic Model
The reality of economies throughout human history demonstrates few opportunities for an honest, prosperous living. Unless you benefit from 'striking it rich' in the gold rush or winning a lottery, most wealth is obtained by hook or by crook.
