Fellow authors, we all want to write books and get paid for our work (do what we love most and get paid for it). Unfortunately, doing so is nearly impossible in the current capitalist system. It is only possible in the economic system of the new millennium, called the Tax-Free Economy (TFE).

Here is how it works for authors:

• You write your books and hand them over to a local publishing house for free.

• The publisher produces the books for free and gives them back to you (you pay nothing).

• You own your own bookstore and sell your books directly to the public.

• When people buy your books, the revenue goes to the TFE bank, not to you. At the end of the month, the TFE bank pays you a salary based on the number of books you have sold.

Beware dear mousey

cat D is stalking

primed to pounce

and visit devastation

upon your nest

of velvet down.

An angel passes

through mauve skies

to swathe

my harpooned heart

in light

and fragrant kisses

In the green wood

jackboots thunder

and cudgel

deviations of spirit.

At winter desiccation

early tears frost.
