Hi, my real name is Eric T. My works include "The Dissidents: A novella" and "Game of Aeons: A short novel", written as H.M. Forester in the genre of soft science fiction. They're really more about people than technology. My latest psi-fi works are "Secret Friends: The Ramblings of a Madman in Search of a Soul", "The Scent of Reality and other short stories", "The Imaginal Veil", and "Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt".

I've previously written several works of mystical faction [sic] in a series called "The Shadowlands", using the pen name Etienne de L'Amour.

One common thread running through all my novels is the help given in times of need by #SecretFriends.

The Way of the Sufi by Idries Shah
"Most people know little or nothing about Sufism, and what they may have heard about it here and there is likely to be erroneous. In THE WAY OF THE SUFI, Idries Shah does an excellent job of cutting straight to the chase to give the reader an uncloude" Read more of this review »

Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt by H.M. Forester
“[N]othing short of super-extraordinary measures must be taken to ensure that we make it through this interregnum and ensure our survival and that of the natural world we inhabit. [From Preface]”
H.M. Forester
H.M. shared a quote
Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt by H.M. Forester
“Some want to turn the clock back, harkening back to some golden age of nostalgia, when women, children, the lower class, parishioners, and people of other races and creeds knew their place; not back to the 1950s, but further back: to Dickensian times and to (corporate) feudal fiefdom. They want to wind the clock back to a time before the hard-won battles for civil rights, social reforms, and worker representation. A time long, long before the “woke virus”, “illegal immigrants”, and gender identity, when life was more conservative and white lives mattered; though with a new, fundamentalist, Christian nationalist (or Islamist, or ultra-Zionist, or even atheist) and isolationist twist. And some will go to any lengths – and I do mean any desperate, violent, draconian lengths – to bring this vile and unholy vision about. [From Preface]”

“There are universal laws at work, even here. The Law of Attraction; the Law of Correspondence; and the Law of Karma. That is: like attracts like; as within, so without; and what goes around comes around.”
H.M. Forester, Game of Aeons

“I? This is the very root of all evil.”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents
tags: ego, evil, self

“There is no such thing as 'just one last cigarette' – except the last cigarette that you've already had.”
H.M. Forester, Game of Aeons

“Is that a banana in your lunch box, or are you just pleased to see me?”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents

“There was a great joke that was forever doing the rounds in the jail and it was probably funny not because it had a humorous punchline but because it was so very true at a deep psychological level. Put anyone in that jail and soon enough they'd actually become a cruel, twisted, sadistic and heartless thug. And some of the prisoners were just as bad.”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents
tags: humor

“All you had to do was crack up and beg to see the Governor; grovel at his feet and admit to being a dissident; heartily repent your sins, and volunteer for elective brain surgery.”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents

“Their methods were especially crude and most of these former friends were now born again model citizens; lobotomized; or burnt out shells.”
H.M. Forester, The Dissidents

“This too shall pass.”
Hakim Sanai
