Joseph M. Lenard: A Dreamer Who Turns the Strange Into Story
[ArtistRecap site sneak-peek]

Summary: Joseph M. Lenard’s latest eBook, “Is ET Really Here?: A Really Short Story,” blends dreams with extraterrestrial intrigue in this one (vs his other works) very short, but thought-provoking, tale.

Joseph M. Lenard is not your typical author. Joseph’s creative process works a little differently. For him, inspiration comes in the form of vivid dreams, in the case of this manuscript - a strange, surreal moment that sparked his imagination and shaped this writing. “Is ET Really Here?: A Really Short Story”, is a prime example of how Joseph turns the bizarre into the extraordinary. With just a $0.99 price tag, this short-story Amazon Kindle exclusive (EPUB file, can be viewed via Kindle device or any eReader) invites readers into a fictional world where extraterrestrial life, government conspiracies, and censorship are explored in a unique, unconventional narrative.

The Dreamer Behind the Words

Joseph M. Lenard’s journey as a writer began in a way that many would consider unusual, through dreams. He is upfront about it: many of his stories are born from the visions he experiences while asleep. His work, including his latest eBook, “Is ET Really Here?: A Really Short Story,” was not the usual meticulously planned out over months. Instead, this one mini-eBook, came from an almost spontaneous process of inspiration that took hold of him after a particularly vivid dream.

“Most of my books come from dreams,” Joseph explains. “It’s not your typical writer’s process. But I don’t fight it; I let the ideas flow from the dream into the story.” This unique approach has led to some fascinating works, each driven by the feeling of discovery, curiosity, and the exploration of the unknown. His stories aren’t just about telling a narrative; they challenge readers to question everything they thought they knew and delve deeper into the mysteries of life, whether those mysteries lie in the cosmos or within our own minds and usual way of conducting ourselves.

A Story that Defies Expectations

The plot of “Is ET Really Here?” is as unconventional as Joseph’s creative process. The story centers around a student, inspired to write a report on extraterrestrial life, who begins their research only to find their work mysteriously erased. From there, the narrative takes off as the student embarks on a journey filled with questions, doubts, and the possibility of uncovering a grand cover-up.

The themes in the story range from censorship and government secrecy to UFO/UAP sightings and the concept of interstellar, interdimensional, and/or intertimenal, beings. While these topics are explored in a speculative manner, they are presented as part of a fictional narrative, meant to provoke thought rather than make factual claims. The student even explores the potential connections between biblical teachings and extraterrestrial life, which adds a layer of philosophical depth to the tale. Joseph’s writing style is informal and conversational, which makes the complex subject matter accessible and engaging for readers.

What makes this story stand out is not just its subject matter but its execution. Joseph doesn’t sugarcoat the reality of what readers are getting. He warns them up front that this is a “very, very short” story, so there are no tricks or misleading promises (and therefore the ultra-low $0.99 price tag, vs other books found on Amazon as eBooks). His honesty in this regard allows readers to enter the narrative with clear expectations and a sense of intrigue. It’s a story that doesn’t overstay its welcome but still manages to offer insights into the unknown, exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the secrets that might be hidden from the public.

What Makes Joseph Different?

Joseph’s writing (in this offering, vs his other fare) sets him apart from other authors in the speculative fiction genre. His ability to weave fact with fiction, to ask bold questions, and to tackle issues like censorship and secrecy, makes his work feel fresh and relevant. His creative process, which stems from his dreams, leads him to write stories that are both personal and philosophical. He’s not just telling stories; he’s exploring ideas, ideas that challenge what we know about the world, the universe, and ourselves.

Another way Joseph engages his audience is through his podcasting efforts, where he delves into topics related to his writings, over varied subject-matters; his creative process; and the strange events that inspire his work. In interviews available on TerrorStrikes.info/interviews, Ivy.fm, podchaser, and elsewhere, he openly discusses the ways in which his dreams influence his stories, allowing listeners to gain a deeper understanding of his creative mindset (including, releasing soon: appearance with “Benjamin The Dream Wizard”).

The focus on positivity and logic (not emotional-hysterics) if or when challenging conventional thought is evident not only in Joseph’s books but in the way he engages with his audience. His transparency and willingness to embrace the unknown invite readers to take risks with him, to explore uncharted territory, and to think outside the box. In a world full of predictable stories, Joseph M. Lenard is refreshing because he refuses to follow the same path as everyone else.

A Glimpse Into the Future

“Is ET Really Here?” is a brief foray into the world of extraterrestrial mysteries, it is only a glimpse of the work Joseph has released thus-far and future planned. For those who have not followed his career, this ultra-short story serves as an introduction to his unique approach (though this one “very different” than even any and all his other offerings) to storytelling.

Joseph’s work is always evolving. He is constantly exploring new ideas and uncovering new mysteries, both in his dreams and in the real world. As his audience continues to grow, his stories will undoubtedly take readers on even more strange and thought-provoking journeys.

AMAZON BOOK PAGE DESCRIPTION:

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Book itself will be “very different” (an ULTRA-SHORT Story, and I mean really, Really, REALLY, short (hence my saying this here, not looking to mis-lead/deceive trick anyone into a purchase without full disclosure up-front what you’re getting “a strange” and VERY SHORT tale (my other books full novels or novelette manuscripts)) hence the bare minimum price Amazon allows for fare placed on their system) as well as this section lead-in. AMAZON KINDLE EXCLUSIVE!

I have had many interviews discussing my “creative” process (a few here: https://TerrorStrikes.info/interviews and others via https://ivy.fm/tag/joseph-m-lenard and even more via https://podchaser.com/creators/joseph-m-lenard-107ten9NBc) over the years and have made it no secret most of my books come to me via DREAMS. I had a really weird one recently – so I am going to write here a brief story based on that strange dream where I was enrolled in some School somewhere.

Story “a mock report” (partially including a prior released TheLibertyBeacon piece I’d written with some fun/fictional lead-in based upon the dream (the original TLB piece had embedded videos to add some additional/interesting food-for-thought and I will rework those parts a bit to better work them in as if were part of a real Thesis/Report and better part of this “STORY” that I am sharing here with you all))…
