Wipe: A Brief History of Toilet Hygiene

Wipe: A Brief History of Toilet Hygiene by D. M. Davisson

You can see the 1HR Read series at my Amazon page.

Tales of Abdera, Florida

Here’s a link to a free story.

“The Last Supper Pill”

Gomez Goldenham is a reporter at the Abdera Intelligencer and is assigned to cover the suspicious death of Jean Ferrybridge. While investigating her death he discovers a secret society of gourmands and a technological marvel someone is willing to kill for.

INTRO

“What am I looking for in this passionate searching through articles? I am looking for a viewpoint that will make a different world around me when I look up and out the window, a different universe, the same great change I saw when I first started reading science fiction.” – Katherine MacLean

“Art is thought from the future.” – Timothy Morton

I’m David and I write stories. Mostly weird or SF&F. I also recently launched an ebook press, Hillsborough River Press.

I am a librarian, reader, amateur gardener, lover of naps, abderitic*, and patahistorian**.

If you want to know more, check out the About page.

Kant likened the worst of humanity to the Abderites, hence Abderitic –

“Bustling folly is the character of our species: people hastily set off on the path of the good, but do not persevere steadfastly upon it; indeed, in order to avoid being bound to a single goal, even if only for the sake of variety they reverse the plan of progress, build in order to demolish, and impose upon themselves the hopeless effort of rolling the stone of Sisyphus uphill in order to let it roll back down again.” — Immanuel Kant

*abderitic – believing the world is getting neither worse nor better, while simultaneously believing the world is getting both better and worse.

**patahistory – the study of the history of imaginary solutions.

“The mind changing changes all.” – Unknown

“He was an indolent, good-natured man, who took the world as it went, and had a kind of laughing philosophy, that parried all rubs and mishaps, and served him in the place of wisdom.” — Washington Irving
