Sinjon's Eye is a very personal work, and it has been properly placed into the "Alternative" category of my novels, since it is quite unique.  Begun in the 1970s at Pennsylvania State University, where I was completing my college education, and after my stint in the American military, the work evolved from my studies in the Department of English and the option I had chosen, The Creative Writing Option.  I was trying to "find myself," and found that applying an alter ego approach to this pursuit gave great results, so I kept it, evolved it, left it alone for many years, resurrected it and finished it.  Once completed, the work lay dormant until the tragedy of 9/11.  Looking at my dusty manuscript, it was pushed one more step and finalized into its current form by adding a 9/11 portion.  Sinjon's Eye is just what the title implies, since my middle name is St. John, which is pronounced "Sinjon."  There are a number of spellings of this name, but I liked this the best.  Sinjon has a strange relationship with the cosmos, and at times it is hard to tell exactly where he is and who he is talking to.  This dichotomy will be left for you to ponder.  This work is a combination of elements, poetry, prose, playwriting, humor, tragedy and a whole bunch of other qualities.  One does not exactly "read" this work; it is more or less "absorbed."  I have written this from the soul, and did not edit the content; I added on.   Experience Sinjon's unique perspective and employment in the world of the ethereal.

 

To tease you a bit more, Sinjon talks directly to his God, who he names "Fred" for lack of a better name, lives with a young woman who changes him $2.00 per instance of bedtime bingo, whether she is awake or asleep, has as a best friend an enormously fat man who dies of starvation, and that is the beginning.  I am not sure there is an end.
