The original "Thinkers" blogs...





    Thinker's Corner

This is the oldest blog written by Michael Casher. It was originally hosted at Lulu.com, where his books are published and sold online. Now it's one of the author's seven blogs at Blogger.

Thinker's Corner is mostly about writing and publishing. But not always.



  Think-A-Holic Lounge

This is the bar stool journal of Jonco Bugos, the alter ego and literary pen name of science fiction author Michael Casher. Jonco Bugos is a mere reflection who thinks he's the Real McCoy.

Think-A-Holic Lounge, the hideout of many interesting outcasts in the publishing underworld, occupies no space in the physical universe.

About the author...

Michael Casher is a science fiction author from Snow Shoe, Pennsylvania, a small Appalachian community in the USA. Snow Shoe Borough is located at the northern edge of the Allegheny Ridge and the southern edge of the Allegheny Plateau Region in Centre County, Pennsylvania, all of which are part of the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.

Born in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania in 1951, Michael Casher has lived and worked most of his life in The Keystone State. A 1969 graduate of Bald Eagle Area High School in Wingate, Pennsylvania, the author also attended Penn State University.

He started writing science fiction novels in 2002 as a full-time, independent author, after nearly half a lifetime of working for others at various positions in labor, banking and insurance. Mr. Casher often refers to that part of his life as his "data gathering" period. The author shares a home in Pennsylvania with his elderly mother and an old tomcat named "Lucky".

Michael Casher's official website is "Science Fiction for Thinkers.com" where you'll find a more comprehensive biography as well as links to his "Welcome" video, books, blogs and free monthly newsletter, "The Pluto Observer".

Lulu.com is the publisher of his six "Science Fiction for Thinkers" thrillers. He also writes literary fiction under the pen name Jonco Bugos (pronounced YONK-oh BOO-gosh). In 2009 Science Fiction for Thinkers.com published Kindle Editions of Michael Casher's six science fiction thrillers and the novella by Jonco Bugos. These editions were published exclusively for reading on Amazon's revolutionary wireless reading device, Kindle.

Michael Casher's printed books were once available at online booksellers worldwide, including Amazon.com, but after eight years without a following and no royalty payments, which he attributed to inflated prices, he decided on a different publishing approach. Now U.S. Trade Paperback books by Michael Casher and Jonco Bugos are available only at Lulu.com and at much lower prices.

"Writing," he often says, "is a learn-as-you-go experience, just like life."
