The petals of my daisy by the Marchioness of Dorchester (circa 1632)


The petals of my daisy 
by the Marchioness of Dorchester (circa 1632)

The petals of my daisy
fluttered
in the breeze if his breath
His stamen stood proud
in search of bees
to taste his nectar
We rolled in the wild grasses,
Laughing at nothing
then hushed as a deer
broke twigs
in the distance
There was little time
before the bells
would mark the end
of a clandestine episode
in the forest of fantasies
And so he entered my
wanton flower
with the speed of a stag
fast and
faster still
to avoid the arrow of death
And I ran too
Homeward
with the joy of his juices
as they fell from
my little flower
onto my stockings
And I was free

Strata 6, Immersion V1, Trouble at the Bank, (Animal Instincts)



Welcome to Immersion. You have reached Strata 6. 

Immersion V1 Strata 6 Trouble at the Bank (Animal Instincts)

The instinct to fight has been observed in both humans and animals. Dominance protects vulnerable species from harm. Neural circuits of rage, anger, and violence exist because humans and animals need them to protect offspring, and to secure food, drink, and safety. 

But to be aroused or entertained by violence is more particular to humans than other species. Some humans have even fetishised the power of winning: they seek it out and are physically stimulated by it.

This pleasure in violence, along with the thrill of danger, comes from a deep innate human psychology. It is linked to a desire for competition, thrills, and excitement, as well as the promise of adrenaline which humans find stimulating. 

Androids do not experience pleasure in this way. They do not experience the effects of pleasure chemicals, like dopamine, or a motivational salience which can lead to the desirability of an outcome. All androids however have been programmed to protect an asset or assets at all costs. Often these goals will result in violent acts. 

But the excitement of a fight remains uniquely human and is a self motivated, self fulfilling exhilaration often irrespective of intellectual advancement.

*****

The oversized droid tried to nudge Renyke into the chair. This small movement, a deliberate, forceful action, raised alarm bells. This droid and this place were dangerous.

POS was now completely unresponsive.

The Droids were staring intently, too close for comfort. The finger clicking was getting even more intense.

Renyke took a few moments to compose himself.

'I seem to have made a mistake,' said Renyke, 'I have nothing to exchange after all.'

Queenie, looking worried near the door, demanded access to leave.

'Let me out, this is not my affair,' she said to the door guard who had stopped her exit with his thick arm. She kicked his shin and he laughed. 'That just tickles,' he said, bending down and scowling in her face, too close for comfort.

Still nothing from the POS......

Renyke realised he was on his own. This was new. total autonomy was not possible for artificially created learning machines. There was alway a system in place. The system was paramount to seamless function.

One of the droids got closer to Renyke and explained, 'You gotta have something useful for your friends at the bank. We like useful things. Must be something nice you got for the banker.' 

The other droid looked at Renyke's bag. 'What's in the bag?' he said moving forward to remove it from Renyke's shoulder.

Maybeline crawled out onto Renyke's collar snarling and spitting. She was screeching violently and standing on her hind legs.

'We take anything, old phones even. Anything with data, or storage, or files, photos, NFTs. We take hardware too, your bank is really *frienly. The watch looks tasty. We like watches at the bank. Don't we like watches?'

His thick-set assistant nodded, wires and cogs vibrated inside a hole in his cheek.

Suddenly POS was available again and activated defence and attack modes.

Renyke engaged his bionics and with lightning speed, head butted the first droid who flew back and smashed the other's head with the force of a truck. Cogs crushed and whirred and they both hit the floor. 

Maybeline screeched and began removing wires from orafices in the droids heads.. Then she stood victorious on her hind legs looking around for another victim.

Human, age 48, ID: possibly David Shrewen, wanted for murder, extortion, fraud, by *CASM

A short well dressed man approached trying to calm the situation. He lifted his hands in surrender. He was nervous without the protection of his now defunct droids.

The Door guard held the female guide by the neck and she was screaming, 'Let us go we're no trouble honest, no trouble!'

'Quiet', said the door guard squeezing her neck tighter and choking her.

'My name is David Shrewen and I have a reputation to uphold. One of professionalism and integrity. I must apologise for my overzealous staff.' He put his hand out to shake Renyke's hand.

Shall I lock weapons on target? asked POS.

Renyke engaged an army-issue laser bolt-gun in his hand that would take out the whole room and anyone in it.



He would prefer not to use it but he pointed it at Shrewen's face fixing a menacing stare.

'Duuuuude, we got no ishy here. No ishy, just data. A misunderstanding my friend?' Said Shrewen.

'Drop the lady!' Shouted Renyke, 'we are leaving.'

'Let them go', shouted Shrewen, without hesitation and putting on a brave friendly smile.

The door guard released Queenie, as the banker backed off with his hands still in the air.

Renyke reversed his way towards the door watching the room through his the 360-degree embedded viewfinder.

There was a bag on the counter. 

...Contains bits, may I suggest we take it.....? said POS

Renyke grabbed the bag. It was heavy. The Banker protested. 'Not the whole bag man ......I got bills to pay!'

Renyke pulled out a handful of the contents and threw the bag on the floor. He didn't need it all, enough to get some kind of vehicle to get him to Redact. The last thing he wanted was a gang of stupid droids after him in this Hell hole. They might hold him up.

The banker was yelling as Renyke and Queenie took their exit.

Shrewen was shouting as they made their way back through the market, 'You got some neat tools man, we could use you at the bank!'

Kindle Edition

Journey into a Surreal Dystopia: The Book of Immersion by Tale Teller Club

In the realm of literature, there exist rare gems that transcend traditional storytelling boundaries, weaving a tapestry of worlds that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The Book of Immersion by Tale Teller Club is one such enchanting creation that beckons readers into an intriguing, dystopian universe where the ordinary and the extraordinary collide, and nothing is quite as it seems.

The narrative within The Book of Immersion unfolds in a world unlike any other, teetering on the precipice between reality and fantasy. The characters that inhabit this literary realm are primarily divided into two categories: humans and robots. Yet, it's the enigmatic homotechs that truly captivate the imagination. These peculiar entities straddle the line between humanity and machinery, a testament to the novel's capacity for pushing the boundaries of storytelling.

As readers embark on their journey through this strange and fascinating world, they'll quickly discover that "The Book of Immersion" is not your typical dystopian narrative. Here, music and literature hold the keys to unlocking a sensory cerebral high, painting a vivid backdrop of emotions and experiences that are nothing short of otherworldly. This convergence of art forms infuses the story with a unique and compelling energy, creating a narrative atmosphere that is, quite literally, immersive.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is its ability to harmonize ethereal surrealism and stark reality, a duality that is typically challenging to balance. The Tale Teller Club seamlessly combines the two, allowing them to coexist within the same literary space. The juxtaposition of the bizarre and the everyday blurs the boundaries of possibility, making readers question what is real and what is a product of their own imagination.

The characters in The Book of Immersion are not just ordinary beings; they are multifaceted and dynamic, revealing layers of complexity as the narrative unfolds. The homotechs, in particular, challenge preconceived notions of identity and existence, highlighting the fine line that separates humans from machines. Their presence in the story adds a layer of philosophical reflection, exploring themes of consciousness, sentience, and the essence of what it means to be alive.

In this strange dystopian world, the reader is invited to partake in a profound journey of discovery. The Book of Immersion encourages us to reconsider our understanding of reality, delving into the depths of our own perceptions and pushing the boundaries of our imagination. It challenges us to see the world through a new lens and to explore the hidden facets of existence that may elude us in our everyday lives.

As you immerse yourself in the pages of The Book of Immersion, you will be transported to a world that defies conventions and embraces the extraordinary. Tale Teller Club's narrative mastery guides you through a mesmerizing landscape where the surreal and the tangible coexist, beckoning you to embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery.

In a world that increasingly blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, The Book of Immersion serves as a poignant reminder of the power of literature to transcend and transform, making it a must-read for those seeking to explore the unknown and question the limitations of their own imagination.

Is There Money in Kindle Kids' Books? Let's compare publishing options


Writing children’s books can be a rewarding venture, but it’s essential to set realistic expectations. Let’s explore the financial aspects:

The publishing agent route.
Advances: First-time authors typically receive an advance from the publisher. For picture books (which average around 32 pages), this advance can range from $6,000 to $12,000. Keep in mind that this amount is split between the author and the illustrator (if separate). Easy readers and novels follow similar compensation packages.

Royalties: After earning out the advance (i.e., selling enough copies), authors receive royalties. These are usually around 3.5% to 6% of the book’s sale price. Novels have a different structure, with no royalty split. Most picture books sell 5,000 to 10,000 copies in hardcover form, and few make it to paperback. Additionally, many books go out of print within about two years.

Big Names vs. Reality: While authors like Jeff Kinney (creator of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”) and J.K. Rowling have made millions, most writers don’t achieve such success. Writing children’s books is rarely a full-time job for the majority of authors.

While children’s books can be creatively fulfilling, financial gains vary widely. It’s essential to love what you do and recognize that monetary rewards may not match those of blockbuster authors

Here are seven tips to help aspiring children’s book authors:

Find an Inspiring Idea: Start with a compelling concept that excites you. Whether it’s a whimsical adventure, a heartwarming friendship, or a magical world, let your imagination soar!

Know Your Audience: Understand the age group you’re targeting. Picture books, middle-grade novels, and young adult fiction each have distinct characteristics. Tailor your writing accordingly. 

Create a Relatable Protagonist: Develop a main character that young readers can connect with. Make them relatable, flawed, and memorable.

Ask Questions: As you write, consider the “what ifs.” What if your character faced a challenge? What if they discovered a hidden secret? Curiosity fuels creativity! 

Read Recent Children’s Fiction: Immerse yourself in the genre. Observe storytelling techniques, character development, and pacing. Learn from successful authors. 

Read Aloud: Hearing your story helps you catch awkward sentences, pacing issues, and dialogue quirks. Plus, it’s fun! 

Finish Your Story: Persevere! Completing your manuscript is a significant achievement. Celebrate each step, from the first draft to the final polish.

Traditional Publishing: Advances: For picture books (averaging 32 pages), first-time authors typically receive an advance from the publisher. This advance can range from $6,000 to $12,000. 
Keep in mind that this amount is split between the author and the illustrator (if separate).

Royalties: After earning out the advance (i.e., selling enough copies), authors receive royalties. These are often around 3.5% to 6% of the book’s sale price. Most picture books sell around 5,000 to 10,000 copies in hardcover form, with few making it to paperback. 
Easy readers and novels follow similar compensation packages.

Self-Publishing on Kindle: Children’s Literature: Among all writing categories, children’s literature—especially illustrated children’s books—is lucrative and accessible for beginners.

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP): Self-publishing on Amazon Kindle is straightforward. Authors can earn through: 

Kindle Unlimited Page Reads: Payment when readers pass 10% of your book.
Countdown Deals: Limited-time promotions on your ebook.
Free Book Promotions: Schedule free days to boost visibility and downloads

To self-publish a children’s book on Kindle, follow these steps:

Create the eBook Version: Use the Kindle Kids’ Book Creator tool to import illustrations, add pop-ups, and preview your illustrated kids’ book.

For chapter books, you can use Kindle Create instead.

Set Up Your eBook on KDP: Use KDP eBook set-up to publish your Kindle eBook. This involves formatting your manuscript, setting the price, and choosing distribution options.

Prepare Your Book for Print (Optional): If you want to offer a print version, prepare your book for print using KDP Print.
Ensure your illustrations are high-resolution and meet print quality standards.

Remember, Amazon’s powerful marketing tools and global distribution can help you reach millions of readers. Good luck with your children’s book!

For more details, you can explore the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) Kids page. Many authors have found success by self-publishing their children’s books on KDP!

Introduction and Synopsis, Immersion Strata 1 The Beginning 'Purpose' by Tale Teller Club Video Books

Strata 1 of the Book of Immersion gives some insight into the way the story will be executed. We discover our main character for the episode, Renyke and learn a little about who he is and where he is from. There is still mystery surrounding the details and we are left with questions which draw the reader into the developing scenarios.
We are familiarised too with the format of the series which starts with an introduction by the narrator then follows with the story section. 
The video is a monochrome ink animation which loosely follows the storyline whilst creating hypnotic organic moving lines and shapes.
The video book can be linked up to ant devices, hand held or a television for example, via the YouTube app.
