About this ebook

Re-written Dec. 2019 - For a Science and Astronomy-minded child ----- Jeremy loves astronomy and likes to look out his bedroom window and study the heavens before going to sleep. While looking at the stars in the night sky he notices one star getting bigger. But that's impossible! Yet the more he stares, the bigger it gets. But wait, it's not moving across the sky like a shooting star, just getting bigger. Then he realizes there is a reason it's growing in size. With no time to act, he freezes with fear and awaits the inevitable catastrophe that is headed for him and his house!

I am a retired Dentist and enjoy writing as a hobby─I write for the creative FUN of writing. Other hobbies include playing the clarinet, Soprano sax and Bongos, oil painting, photography, and graphite drawing. Story ideas may occur to me spontaneously, or just by looking at a picture when it evokes a story line in my mind, and I use it as a 'seed' to grow the story.I'm a 'romantic' at heart. Love runs deep in me, and have published several romances as a result (and usually fall in LOVE with my female protagonist) mixed in with some adventure stories, and stories for Young Adults.I have done a few things in my life to include, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Mountain Rappelling Instructor, clinical lab tech, read books on Sci and romances, and hold a license as a Ham Radio operator---all of which I assume, add to the repository from which I draw some of my story ideas. I grew up reading Mad Magazine which, I’m sure, affected (distorted?) my sense of humor as well as my perspective on life. I enjoy humor, and like to laugh.I'm am most assuredly an untrained amateur but nevertheless have published five small books on Amazon and twelve on Smashbooks.com under the name of R.H. Proenza if for nothing else but my ego. I live in Georgia with my wife Sandy, a computer or two, and no pets.

    Eleven-and-a-half-year-old Jeremy Braddock stared up at the ceiling from his bed as if he could see his beloved stars that shone outside in the dark skies above. He imagined his vision penetrating right through the painted sheetrock drywall, like Superman’s ─son of Jor-el─ X-Ray vision─ through the attic rafters and beams, including all the junk stored in the attic, and out beyond the roof shingles through the fresh air of the night sky. He mentally gasped as chills raised the hair on his arms at the imagined vivid panorama. Yes, out there, the sky's black screen would be peppered with constellations and quasars and gaseous nebulae galore, OH, MY. Hee Hee.

    Nope. That won’t do─his moment of silliness over. Not for x-ray vision! His imagination was good, but not THAT good. He had to see the stars with his own sharp eyes.
