Timing and geography was a necessary part, and this concept definitely bled into the storyline I am now realizing. You see, I needed some inspiration to get myself into the right head space, so I packed a bag and drove almost 8 hours to Zion National Park. There, fueled by crappy Holiday Inn coffee, I locked the door and got to work. While everyone else in town that Easter Weekend was enjoying the great outdoors, I stayed holed up, and highly caffeinated, with pen to paper, or rather fingers to keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eZion, much like Old Spice Fresh, also holds a special place in my heart. The last time I was there was September 2001, almost ten years after discovering Fresh and only a few days after 9\/11! It was a VERY strange time to be doing a road trip, as you can imagine. The mood was very, um, shall we say out of the ordinary? Much like then, this past Easter in the National Park while Covid 19 was still on the loose and mask mandates still in place, it was also very paranormal to say the least. So for someone like me, strange and atmospheric events meant conditions were just perfect to write in! I mean, this was a resurrection of sorts too, no? If you want depth, you must layer. This holds true in perfuming as well as in story-telling.

I was taking elements of everything around me and using them; Easter Sunday, the Religious Cathedral like atmosphere of Zion, the name Fresh and the Spanish equivalent, Fresco, and the stack of archeology and folklore books I had brought with me. The only time I left my room was for breakfast and dinner where I would do my research old school. Meaning utilizing the books I brought along. As hikers and outdoorsmen sat around me in the cafes with their gear loudly reliving their days adventures over beers and burritos, I sat unnoticed in the corner quietly, pith helmet on head, and once again looking like that awkward high school freshman with his bookbag spread out over the table in study hall. In this surreal environment I would take notes and fantasize, then head back to my room like a masked hermit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"What do Flash Gordon, David Lynch, and Pee-Wee Herman have in common? Absolutely nothing, so far as I know! And yet this madcap trinity seems the only imaginary mashup that can adequately encapsulate the hair-brained sci-fi\/adventure that is Douglas Smythe's 'The Fresco Mystery'. Douglas writes with so much verve, such blatant gusto, such unrepentant jouissance that - well, I'm left flabbergasted. After knowing the man for full-on a decade, the wellspring of inspiration for Douglas Smythe's literature remains every bit as mysterious to me as the recipe of his transcendent shaving soap. Douglas Smythe, like 'The Fresco Mystery' itself, is an enigma. That is why we love him. And that is why with each new expression of his seemingly boundless, Wonka-esque creativity I simply clap my hands and say, \"Bravo, Mr Smythe! You go! Watermelon rinds, yes!\" Will 'The Fresco Mystery' make the New York Times Best Seller list? Be recommended reading in Oprah's Book Club? Win a Booker Prize? Yeah, maybe... when Deus Porta is re-opened and the free will of humankind is rescinded by the ancient gods.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ~ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRyan Steven Green, Filmmaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLast Fall I had read a rather favorable review of the Hotel Cecil story by Mantic 59 on the Sharpologist site.

Being that Sci Fi is my genre of choice I understand what he meant but it was never my intention, but now I thought I'd go there, or at the very least, go to England. So that is how Stonehenge ends up really being the backdrop of this latest romp. Everything else just magically fell into place!
