Baby Boomers Considering Their Second Adulthood

B.L. Lindstrom began his career making a dollar an hour cleaning tables in a restaurant.

This inauspicious beginning in Gary, Indiana led to much bigger and brighter things.

He was dubbed the "Systems Janitor" for his ability to rapidly clean up dysfunctional business systems without a lot of messy jargon and wasteful spending.

In corporate America, the global economy is always changing, and Lindstrom has spent his career helping businesses and individuals cope with those changes.

He's written many straight talking nonfiction works to help organizations fix their current processes and to understand the benefits of committing to continuous process improvement.

He's always understood the value of adapting a business as the world changes. And now he's made his own change.

Considering SomeplacElse is Lindstrom's first work of fiction. In it he's able to explore his own vision of Utopia - where waste isn't tolerated and resources are used as wisely as possible. In this modern mythological tale, you can gain insight into his own personal philosophy of earning a living and living a life.

B.L. Lindstrom doesn't believe in coincidence. He believes that there's a reason for every significant happenstance - and those beliefs are apparent as you read his first novel. He challenges you to consider the possibilities of what Fate has in store, how Nature provides and why we make the choices we do. This is sure to be the first of many works of fiction from this talented author.

In his personal life, Lindstrom has been married for 36-years to Melinda King. Together they have three children and six grandchildren that fill their lives with joy.

In ancient times, myths were written to explain that which could not be understood. But in modern times, the idea of mythology has gone by the wayside as people turn to science to explain most concepts. However, B.L. Lindstrom in his new book Considering SomeplacElse uses the myth to explain modern life.

At the beginning of this century a homeless man is allowed to win the lottery in the hopes that he'll make a difference for good in the world. 12 years later an underemployed Baby Boomer stumbles upon SomeplacElse, a modern-day utopia built by the homeless man in the Arizona desert. Everyone works a 24-hour workweek and has all of their basic needs met.

At the same time a billionaire playboy named Adam Wainwright is running for governor on the promise that he will rid the state of these godless commie "Elsewhere people". As you read, you'll begin to unravel what happens when fate, free will and the natural order of things all try to control the future of this earthly eden.

Lindstrom takes a classic form of literature and creates a new genre of modern mythology. In his novel, the characters have some free will but are guided by forces unseen - similar to the gods and goddesses of the Greeks.

You've never read a story like this one and once you begin it, you won't be able to put it down. Every character is developed in an unexpected way and the reader gains new insight into each character in the story and the forces that motivate and try to control them.

When Lindstrom set out to market his book, he found that there really wasn't an appropriate genre for it. It's a fictional tale, but it isn't science fiction and it's not a mystery. In fact, it's a modern myth - and that's the genre he uses to define it.

Mythology has been around since ancient Greeks needed ways to explain the phenomenon they experienced. They believed that gods and goddesses were in charge of fate and that they played with people's lives much as a player moves pawns in a chess game.

The Greeks didn't own the mythology market. Virtually every civilization has used mythological story telling to explain things like weather, illness, and the creation of the world. The Greeks are the most well-known, but the Norse, Romans, American Indians, and many African tribes have famous myths and legends.

In modern day society, people are less likely to look for comfort in a myth. We tend to look toward science or technology to explain the workings of the world. But in Considering SomeplacElse, the reader is allowed to return to this familiar genre in a modern way.

If you enjoy the idea of fate and free will clashing in a story that's unique and thought provoking, you'll enjoy Lindstrom's modern mythology. He's returned to a famous way of writing that has a new edge that any reader will enjoy.

This original idea will be unlike anything you've ever read. If you've ever wondered what Utopia would look like in the 21st century and how the rest of the world would react to it, you owe it to yourself to start Considering SomeplacElse.
