Soliciting coauthors for a book on Bacon

[Guest Ryan Murtha]

Hi all,

I have two essays on Bacon I'm preparing for publication, one of which I've posted here under "Esoteric Bacon" mainly about alchemy, and one which is not finished, about the mythological or archetypal features of Bacon's biography. I thought about asking my publisher if I can add them as chapters to my recently published book Precious Gem, but the mythology material should be featured in the title due to its wide potential appeal (e.g., the work of CG Jung and Joseph Campbell). So instead I thought to ask the forum if anyone would like to contribute chapters for a book. I also had the idea of a novel, somewhat along the lines of The Queen's Cipher, revolving around the plot device of a stolen First Folio (2023 being the 400th anniversary and all). But I don't know if I have the discipline and stamina for a novel, I suffer from burnout after twenty years of Bacon. Try as we might, man cannot live on Bacon alone. So I thought to ask the team and seeing if anyone has interest in cowriting a novel. I have a basic plot outline, but it needs to be expanded considerably.

I'd be thrilled to participate in a dialog about, "mythological or archetypal features of Bacon's biography". That sounds like a blast and also an avenue to find ciphers and clues!

As far as a "novel", me being in for over 20 years as well, I can not imagine it working. A great idea, but to bring Bacon to life in fiction is a huge task. Maybe one super genius can do it? But I already know that two or more people involved will never see the same vision. Until his life is completely revealed, there are as many stories as there are Baconians. And that is not a bad thing, at all. It is the way it is.

I have my Bacon story, "direct" from Dee. Nobody else will touch it. We'll love your idea, but nobody will touch it. Maybe I am wrong...

The novel would be set in the present without trying to write Bacon as a character. I wouldn't even try to do that. Queen's Cipher does, and fails.
