Author Richard Kirsh with Pine Woods

Science Fiction Richard has two grown children and resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He continues to daily marry Linda, his bride of 33 years. His life's journey has taken him from his hometown Sheboygan, Wisconsin to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin to Minneapolis, Minnesota, including some foreign travel before settling down in Milwaukee. Drawing from imagination and life experience, Richard writes for those who enjoy reading science fiction about real places. Synop: A common looking stone transports Rich, Mickie and Bill into a world wrapped in historical reality and fantasy. This gripping story brings to life the Christina Nilsson, a working Lake Michigan schooner. The schooner sank in 1884 off the shore of Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. Our story winds through historically real sites as well as a fantasy civilization, Urgin. Urgin is a 10,000 year old sunken continent. With the assistance of Aralic and Benowin, 8,000-year-old brother and sister from Urgin, will our three accidental heroes ultimately accomplish their purpose? In the course of this tale you will be transported to 1954 Midwest as well as 1884. With the realities of anchors, bikes and masts, our story moves to floating rock boats, bubbles capable of turning solid rock into oatmeal, and a world 13 miles beneath the present earth's surface. Come and visit worlds technologically advanced; one seemingly locked in a "simpler time" and finally, one still operating with wind power. Our 1954 reluctant heroes are chosen to save two children, Carl and Kate Jensen, from perishing when the sailing vessel sinks. If these children were to be lost in the sinking of the ship, the entire course of world history would be altered. Can they? http://www.bicycle-tales.com/
