The Voice of Many Waters is a novelette you can easily read in one sitting... John Rosenman is a talented and experienced writer who always entertains—even when he has something important to say.
John B. Rosenman has sold over three hundred stories to places such as “Weird Tales,” “Treachery and Treason,” “Whitley Strieber’s Aliens,” “Galaxy,” and “Hot Blood.” His mainstream novel, “The Best Laugh Last,” was published in 1981 and 1982 by McPherson & Company. “More Stately Mansions,” a collection of short fiction, was published by Dark Regions Press in 1998. He has also written five science-fiction adventure novels including: “Beyond Those Distant Stars” (NovelBooks 2003, republished by Mundania Press), “Speaker of the Shakk,” (Mundania Press), “Alien Dreams” (Drollerie Press), “Dax Rigby, War Correspondent” (Lyrical Press), and an African science-fiction novel, “A Senseless Act of Beauty” (Blade Publishing). “Here Be Dragons” is a science-fiction horror booklet available from Eternal Press. John received his Ph.D. in 1970 and is an English professor at Norfolk State University. His office contains dozens of items from one of his favorite movies, “The Wizard of Oz.” He and his wife Jane have a son and daughter. They recently celebrated their forty-second wedding anniversary. Currently, John is working on “Dark Wizard,” a science-fiction adventure novel based on “The Wizard of Oz,” and revising “Inspector of the Cross,” a novel about an elite agent for an Earth-based empire which has fought an alien menace for three-thousand years. A former Chairman of the Board for the Horror Writers Association, John now writes a monthly blog on writing (along with 30 other writers) at StoryTellers Unplugged.com.
