Each summer weekend can be like a holiday here in Maine. Once, to the Vikings, it was rugged Vineland; today Maine is Vacationland. After a hard, dirty winter, mild air and watery sunlit places are calling: an abundance of evocative coastal places within a couple minutes' or couple of hours' drive. The author experienced one beach not typical of Maine. It was different in a lively way. She and her spouse, Allen, drove to Auburn for groceries and suddenly decided--over lunch in the Nickel Diner--to go visit Old Orchard Beach before grocery shopping.Old Orchard Beach has long been a resort town, situated in a curve of Saco Bay and full of mechanized carnival life, its waterfront crammed with screaming or jovial activity, shimmering in sunlight. After a search in side streets full of summer lodgings and cars, the travelers locate a place to park, then walk down to the sea--down to "Maine on the Mediterranean."

Autorenporträt
You will find S. Dorman's work configured for all e-readers, including all online file types. She writes the fantastic and is author of Fantastic Travelogue: Mark Twain and C.S. Lewis Talk Things Over In the Hereafter. In fantastic settings, this is a creative dialogue between C.S. Lewis, Mark Twain, and the universe-with fictive guest appearances of Johannes Kepler and George MacDonald. S. Dorman is the author of Gott'im's Monster and The God's Cycle in two parts. The work of S.Dorman is on file in the USA copyright office. Her work is not to be confused with that of the great deceased SF writer Sonya Dorman. Also the author of Five Points Akropolis. What is FIVE POINTS AKROPOLIS? An alternate future? An insecure past? Another present made of dense woodlands and waterways ... or of streets and buildings and crowds? Are its populations living beside one another in a welter of frequencies or wavelengths not generally experienced in Place and Time? A particular place called Five Points Akropolis -- This is what Anno Domine 1769, 1900 A.D., and 2017 CE have in common. But what influence does the dwarf-wanderer Pluto have on its fortunes? One of many characters, Willie the grave-digger would like to know, and too Gregoff the Grak. So would True People's scouts Red Fox and Quick Claws. Jayrai, HBBBAH, and Tu are wondering--they want to be back in 2017, their own time. And little Quadri, whose working thumbs are the pulse of the gamescape. But "the girl," who seems somehow responsible for all this, isn't saying. Three gangs of kids living on the same spot in different times, meeting up for the first time as Pluto descends. THE GOD'S CYCLE. The cycle is five books, in two parts. In chronological order: GOD'S HOUSE. 1. Return to God's House. 2. Within Without (a.k.a. Within Without God's House). 3. In Winter (a.k.a. God's House in Winter). GOD'S WILDERNESS. 4. Mystery Gottheim. 5. Balder's Wilderness. Plus Gott'im's Monster. & Gott'im's Monster 1808. By S. Dorman
