In 5 months from today July 5th, on December 5th, 2024, a new version of how the Shakespeare Canon was created will be released:
Anonymous Agnostic Antichrist (singular and not plural)
It is an alternative story to last year's Anonymous Agnostic Antichrists, following the life journey of Thomas Watson from birth as Will Hunter in 1555 through his staged death in 1592 and taking on the identity of Thomas Shelton (and others), writing the plays and poetry with William Shakespeare's on them, to his real death in 1624 at the age of 69.
2023's Anonymous Agnostic Antichrists, which followed Thomas North and his collaborators, will continue to be out in the public and will continue to be for me a viable possibility of how the Shakespeare Canon was created. Being the passionate agnostic that I am though, I am not content with one and only one possibility, and throughout 2024 I have been obsessed with creating an alternative story.
First I thought of doing the narrative about Thomas Nashe, then Anthony Bacon, but with a deeper plunge into Thomas Watson, I've come to believe that there is a very strong possibility that Watson was the True Bard of the plays and poetry with Shakespeare's name on them.
For the next five months and beyond I will continue to explore and share about Watson and this new novel, Anonymous Agnostic Antichrist, and of course all things Shakespeare.
I will also continue to share about the 20 year tarot short story project, The Human Drama, and will get back into those tales next year in 2025.
But this book needed to be written and now is the time for me to do so. The times (with threats of a Christian Fascist State) require it:
Anonymous
Agnostic
Antichrist,
Thomas Watson, passionate poet, playwright, translator, and The True Bard (possibly!)
In a world where humans are obsessed with certainty, regarding religion, politics, with all topics and areas of experience, to me openness to different possibilities will be our saving grace and not blind faith and deluded certainty.
Anonymous Agnostic Antichrist
and
Anonymous Agnostic Antichrists
will be one of those examples of adventures in agnosticism and the passion of possibilities.
The pre-order for the book will be available soon.
Enjoy and Explore!
