\"TSTF_ebook\"<\/a>Hel\u00adlo, I\u2019m nov\u00adel\u00adist Chris Orcutt. Chances are, you\u2019ve come to this page after hear\u00ading me on my radio inter\u00adviews<\/a>. Dur\u00ading these inter\u00adviews, I have talked about the alter\u00adna\u00adtive fuel source helium\u20113, oth\u00ader alter\u00adna\u00adtive ener\u00adgy sources, moon min\u00ading, frack\u00ading, and a pos\u00adsi\u00adble con\u00adspir\u00ada\u00adcy between the U.S. gov\u00adern\u00adment and the fos\u00adsil fuels indus\u00adtry to pre\u00advent helium\u20113 inno\u00adva\u00adtion.<\/p>\n

I have also talked about my lat\u00adest mys\u00adtery nov\u00adel, A Truth Stranger Than Fic\u00adtion<\/em>, as well as my oth\u00ader nov\u00adels. If you\u2019re inter\u00adest\u00aded in buy\u00ading any of my books, please go to my Buy Books<\/a> page, or click on any of the links above for descrip\u00adtions and excerpts.<\/p>\n

As I men\u00adtion dur\u00ading my inter\u00adviews, I am not<\/em> a sci\u00aden\u00adtist. I am a nov\u00adel\u00adist, and I\u2019ve writ\u00adten pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adly for 25 years\u2014as a nov\u00adel\u00adist, jour\u00adnal\u00adist, short sto\u00adry writer, scriptwriter, play\u00adwright, tech\u00adni\u00adcal writer and speech\u00adwriter. I orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly stud\u00adied chem\u00adistry in col\u00adlege with the inten\u00adtion of becom\u00ading a foren\u00adsic sci\u00aden\u00adtist, but lat\u00ader changed my major to phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy. To learn more about me, check out my About Chris<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

\"newsweek-pdf-miner\"<\/a>In doing research for A Truth Stranger Than Fic\u00adtion<\/em>, I found a lot of mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal about helium\u20113 and the oth\u00ader sub\u00adjects in my nov\u00adel. Some of that mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal appears below as PDFs (as well as in two blog entries: 1. a helium\u20113 and oil time\u00adline<\/a>, sug\u00adgest\u00ading a pos\u00adsi\u00adble U.S. gov\u00adern\u00adment and fos\u00adsil fuels indus\u00adtry con\u00adspir\u00ada\u00adcy; and 2. \u201cHelium\u20113, Alter\u00adna\u00adtive Ener\u00adgy and the Chi\u00adna Prob\u00adlem<\/a>\u201d), so you don\u2019t have to take my word on these sub\u00adjects as gospel. I encour\u00adage you to read this source mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal for your\u00adself and come to your own con\u00adclu\u00adsions.<\/p>\n

\"Orcutt_Homepage_Slideshow_122414.006\"As a nov\u00adel\u00adist, my job is not<\/em> to win peo\u00adple over to my way of think\u00ading on a giv\u00aden issue; my job is to raise impor\u00adtant ques\u00adtions and start a con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion. And the best, and least threat\u00aden\u00ading, tool I have at my dis\u00adpos\u00adal to do this is fic\u00adtion, pre\u00adsent\u00ading these issues in an enter\u00adtain\u00ading and com\u00adpelling format\u2014something I think I\u2019ve accom\u00adplished in all of my nov\u00adels, but par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly in A Truth Stranger Than Fic\u00adtion<\/em>. I hope you enjoy these mate\u00adri\u00adals (in descend\u00ading chrono\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal order) for fur\u00adther read\u00ading.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

Chris Orcutt<\/p>\n
