Richard Seltzer
Here I post thoughts, memories, stories, novels, plays, essays, reading lists, genealogical research, info about ebooks for sale, and matters of interest to friends and family.  This isn't your typical web.  It's meant to be idiosyncratic and fun.  I always welcome feedback and suggestions.

I am finally in a position to write fiction full-time. All four of my recently published novels (Parallel Lives, Beyond the 4th Door, Nevermind, and Breeze) overlap and echo in interesting ways, with stories inside stories and touches of magical realism.This is not by intent, but rather that all of them grew from my life experiences and from exploring themes that matter to me. They can be read in any order. They are independent stories, with stylistic and thematic overlaps. Each creates a different view of reality, a different way of trying to understand the mysteries of life. All Things That Matter published all of those in 2020 and have two more novels of mine under contract (To Gether Tales, and Shakespeare's Twin Sister).  I just finished another novel The Bard of Eastport, a Celebration of Shakespeare.

I continue to look for publishers for a book of essays (Lenses), another novel (Echoes from the Attic, co-written with Ethel Kaiden), a collection of over 3000 jokes (Laugh and let Laugh), three picture books (Sign Me Up, How to Ride a Cow, and God Never Made Little Green Mammals), and The Lizard of Oz and Other Stories.

I'm also the publisher of Seltzer Books, with over 14,000 time-tested books in ebook format, available for sale through Barnes & Noble (Nook), Kobo, Apple, Google Play, and PublishDrive. Earlier, I published entire libraries of books on CD and DVD primarily for the blind, who used "screen readers" to convert the text to voice. (This included a 4-DVD set with over 20,000 books for just $149). I also made a quixotic attempt to build and run my own ebook store, Quench, trying to single-handedly compete with the likes of Amazon. My publishing company was originally known as B&R Samizdat Express and consisted of just my wife Barbara (B) and me Richard (R). Samizdat means "self-published" in Russian. Barbara died in 2012, and I recently got an offer that I couldn't refuse for the domain name samizdat.com. So I am now rebuilding the web site as seltzerbooks.com 

In the early days of the Web, I worked for Digital Equipment's Internet Business Group as their "Internet evangelist." When the company was swallowed by Compaq (which was later swallowed by Hewlett-Packard) I worked independently as an Internet marketing consultant, writing extensively about business on the Internet. Many of the books, articles, and speeches I wrote back then are available here. My AltaVista Search Revolution was the first consumer-oriented book about search engines. Library Journal, called it "indispensable". My Web Business Boot Camp was a pioneering guidebook for Internet start-ups.

My original samizdat.com web site, which I used as a sandbox to test ideas about the Web, has been preserved by the Internet Archive as part of their Wayback Machine.  They have stored 666 versions of that web site, captured from November 1996 to September 2017. This link takes you to the part of the archive that is devoted to samizdat.com. Select the date you are interested in; then you can browse the archive the same as you do the live web, clicking on link after link.  Everything from the web site is there, including all the issues of my Internet-on-a-Disk newsletter and the hundreds of articles from my blog. (They now archive seltzerbooks.com )

Breeze
Published by All Things that Matter Press

Breeze, a young woman in present-day Connecticut, goes into a medically inexplicable coma. Her boyfriend, Yannie, a senior at Yale, has to get her the help she needs to survive while trying to solve the mystery of this goddess-like free spirit who appeared out of nowhere two months before.
In part two, Breeze awakens in a different body in a different place and time. She is at Troy in the body of Briseis, love-slave of Achilles. She fears she’ll be taken for a demon. She knows the story she is trapped in, and she learns that she can make changes in what the story leaves unsaid, so long as she doesn't alter the direction of the narrative.
In part three, Breeze finds herself in still another body. It's the fourth century AD and she’s at the temple of the Eleusinian Mysteries, near Athens. A young woman lies down on the altar next to the corpse of another young woman. In the ritual, she expects her soul will move to the body of the dead woman. Instead, the dead woman comes to life with the soul of Breeze. That glitch leads to humorous complications as well insights into the ironies of everyday life and love.
Breeze and Richard's three previous novels (Parallel Lives, Beyond the 4th Door, and Nevermind) can be read in any order. They are independent stories, with overlapping themes and styles. Each novel presents a different view of reality, a different way of trying to understand the mysteries of life.

Nevermind
Published by All Things that Matter Press

A WWII romance veers off into an alternate reality and then another and another.

5 out of 5 stars
"Richard Seltzer takes us on another spellbinding journey into an alterante reality that defies our familiar perception of space and time. Nevermind is a story with a backdrop that seems grounded on the surface, but turns into a flight of mind-bending twists."

Beyond the Fourth Door

Without knowing why or how, two college students wake up 50 years older than they were when they went to sleep and with no memory of what has happened in between.

 5 out of 5 stars
"Richard Seltzer's vast imagination knows no bounds...
Think Thomas Wolfe. Think The Razor's Edge by Maugham.

Please read, enjoy and review

What would have been a epigraph for this novel if I had read it sooner:
"What then is Time? Is its course but one way? Or is it like a swift stream that rolls some things along faster and some slower, leaves, sticks and stones, which may change places, and pass each other by, collide, and combine, even as all are borne along? I sometimes think that we lead many lives between birth and dying, and one one, or perhaps two, are ever known to us consciously, the others pass in parallel, invisible, or they run backward while the one we busy ourselves with runs forward."
from Lord Byron's Novel by John Crowley

Works by and about historical figures who are characters in this novel:

Mercy Otis Warren, historian and playwright

The Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution

The original 3-volume work is 1317 pages long. Mercy wrote early drafts of this work near the time of the events described, and completed the work about four years before it appeared in 1805. Mercy wrote in the third person even when dealing with events involving her immediate family. James Otis (early advocate of the rights of the colonies) was her brother, James Warren (speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives) was her husband, and Winslow Warren (would-be diplomat) was her son.
 Other works by Mercy Otis Warren

Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, general and playwright

Under contract to the same publisher (All Things That Matter Press). To be published in 2021.

Shakespeare's Twin Sister

Shakespeare's twin sister wakes up in the body of a 99-year-old woman in a nursing home in 1987. She has quite a story to tell.
 -- the coming-of-age story of Kate, a brilliant young girl who poses as a boy to get an education.
 -- the story of twins separated at birth sorting out the mystery of their otherworldly connection to one another
 -- the lifelong three-way love story of Kate, Molly and Kate's brother, Will
 -- a story of soul projection and transference linking individuals to one another and connecting past to present.
 -- and the story of Bill, the young reporter Kate tells her story to, who falls in love with the soul he finds in the body of an old and dying woman.
 
As a teenager, cross-dressing sword-fighting Kate beats Mercutio, a captain of the King's Musketeers, in a duel in Paris.
 
s Will's double and writing partner, Kate enables him to do the work of two geniuses.

Kate also triggers the love of Christopher Marlowe who thinks she's a man and dies in despair when he learns she's a woman.  

This outlandish view of Shakespeare's life and times stays true to the facts, while presenting explanations that are humorous and intriguingly plausible.

 

Breeze

Breeze, a young woman in present-day Connecticut, goes into a medically inexplicable coma. Her boyfriend, Yannie, a senior at Yale, has to get her the help she needs to survive, while trying to solve the mystery of this goddess-like free spirit who appeared out of nowhere two months before and turned his life upsidedown. His ex, Lauren, a childhood friend, gives him the support and advice he needs, helping him rebuild his life, while trying to win him back.

In part two, Breeze wakes up in a different body in a different place and time. She is at Troy in the body of Briseis, love-slave of Achilles, and she needs to improvise quickly so she won't be taken for a demon. She knows the story she is now trapped in, and she learns that she can make changes in what the story doesn't say, so long as they don't alter the direction of the narrative. With the help of vengeful friends, she murders Achilles, who she loves, but stages it so the world believes he died in combat at the walls of Troy. And despite that, she and Achilles survive and ride off together to the east, where she will become an Amazon warrior and he her stay-at-home husband.

In part three, Breeze finds herself in still another body in another time and place, with a different Achilles. It's the fourth century AD, at the temple of the Eleusinian Mysteries, near Athens. A young woman lies down on the altar next to the corpse of another young woman. It is expected that in the ritual the soul of the living woman will move to the body of the dead woman. But instead, the dead woman comes to life with soul of Breeze. That glitch leads to humorous complications and rivalries as well insights into the ironies of ordinary life and love.

To Gether Tales

Bittersweet comedy and romance, with touches of tragedy and magic.

 

The narrator is writing now, during the pandemic, feeling nostalgia for what has been lost, as he recounts stories that were told around the dinner table on a Caribbean cruise two years before. The stories, many of which could stand alone, are woven together as a novel.

 

As Abe, the narrator explains at the beginning:

 

            On a cruise, strangers could be thrown together around the same dinner table for the duration, seven days or two weeks or all the way up to the ultimate − a world cruise of a hundred eleven days. This was a seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Regal Princess, a floating town, with thirty-five hundred passengers and thirteen hundred crew. This time, by chance, my dinner companions were articulate, creative, and fun. One among us, Uncle Adolph, served as ringmaster, coaxing us to tell our personal stories and then to create new stories which kept us entertained and bonded us together with our knowledge of and concern for one another.

            Of course, at the time, none of us had the least suspicion that the world we took for granted would soon change, that the tales that we shared over dinner might soon seem like fairy tales, impossible in the harsh conditions of a new normal ...

Sharing our tales over dinner, we believed that romantic love was a possibility for people of all ages. But perhaps we sensed the fragility of that belief. Perhaps we were moved to share these stories in part because of the possibility that emotional magic might someday go away. Not that people would never love again, but that they wouldn't be able to fall in love simply and spontaneously.

            We celebrated love in all its forms, from the sweet innocence of youth to the uninhibited lust of age, with a sprinkling of bawdy wit. And I want to capture and preserve the flavor of that time as well as the stories themselves.

            I treasure those stories all the more now as I remember and record them, trying with my words to preserve the romantic flavor of that bygone age, the hopes and desires that once shaped lives and that now seem unreal. I didn't know at the time that human nature could change so much, that we could adapt so quickly to survive not just contagion but economic disruption as well, and that that might mean the end of hopes and dreams, and the end of what we once thought of as romantic love.

            I don't want to imply that cruises by nature were romantic, à la Love Boat. These stories, for the most part, are not about shipboard romance. The ship is the setting for the telling of the tales, not necessarily the setting of the tales themselves. I'm not just lamenting the end of cruising. The loss is far greater than that. Romantic love itself may have ended − God forbid.

 

He explains the intriguing title at the end:

            I'm writing from the midst of this crisis, not with the wisdom of hindsight. Even if it gets no worse than it is right now, much has been lost.

            I'm hoping that we can gether. That's a word that isn't in the dictionary.

            To gether is to find new ways to be together, new ways to meet, to bond, to love.

            Even when physically isolated, I believe we can adapt and create myriad ties to others. We can come together in spirit, to share experiences and emotions to the point that we are intimately connected.

            Perhaps the virus will mutate to become less virulent or we will have an effective vaccine. In that case, you will be able to read these stories from an ironic perspective, knowing that the world returned to the old normal and my speculation about what was lost was overreaction.

            May that be so.

            In any case, may we always treasure our normal life, knowing, as we now know, that it is fragile and should never be taken for granted.

RICHARD'S OTHER WORKS

The Barracks (from Saint Smith and Other Stories), novella, 11K words, published online at fictionontheweb.co.uk. Was also published online at Untold Tales Publishing which is now defunct.
The Barracks takes place during basic training at Fort Polk, LA, in the summer of 1970, during the Viet Nam War. The overwhelming majority of the trainees are reservists. All white, in a matter of weeks, they'll return home and go about their usual lives, unless something unexpected goes wrong. Four black trainees in the same platoon face immediate assignment to Viet Nam, so they have been deliberately failing the course, being "recycled," over and over again. Tensions of the war (which none of them support) and race relations (which the reservists never faced before) come to a head over an incident that in and of itself seems to have little significance but symbolically looms large.

    based on that novella  The Barracks, a three-act stage play (1989) and Spit and Polish, a full-length screen play (2001)

  The Gentle Inquisitor and Other Stories, Was published online at Untold Tales Publishing, which is now defunct.
These eight ironic stories deal with serious questions in unique and playful ways. They'll make you smile and wonder and prompt you to think about human nature and the meaning of life from new perspectives.

     "...the most important book on the history of eastern Africa to have been published for a century...."   Old Africa (complete review)

My Third Journey to Ethiopia, 1899-1900 by Alexander Bulatovich, translation by Richard Seltzer
Assembled from previously unpublished items in the Russian archives, this is a lively and detailed account of Bulatovich's travels, at the behest of Ethiopian Emperor Meneik II, in the northwestern border regions of the country, at a time when war with England seemed imminent. Bulatovich provides an insightful assessment of England's likely moves and what Menelik could do to block them, even including an invasion of the Sudan. Once again he provides previously unknown details about a critical time in Ethiopia's history. There's also a brief account of Bulatovich's fourth journey to Ethiopia in 1911, at which time he was a Russian Orthodox monk and sought to found a monastery at a lake to the south of Addis Ababa. This is a companion to Ethiopia Through Russian Eyes.
