New Bio for Kramer Wetzel…

Kramer Wetzel

Astrological Prognostication

Grammatically challenged author of astrofish.net and subsidiary works, accidental astrologer, Shakespeare aficionado. Fishing Guide to the Stars.

Books are available at Nature’s Treasures.

Born and raised in a little town in East Texas, attending schools in Texas and New Mexico, with college and university degrees earned in Arizona, Kramer Wetzel considers himself a typical Sagittarius. He is an ordained minister, Honorary Doctorate, Certified Psychic, and with an eye for the absurd, sharpened in a trailer park in South Austin — before trailer parks in South Austin were cool — his primary love is the the Western-styled horoscope.

From global travel to a love of Shakespeare’s canon, to bass fishing around Austin, and bay fishing along the Texas Gulf Coast, Bubba said it best, “Kramer is a Zen Koan wrapped in a Hawaiian shirt and sandals.” Sometimes, Kramer thinks he was Shakespeare in a past life.

Personal consultations available via the website. Prefer in person? Usually he’s at Natrue’s Treasures on alternate Tuesdays …

Original bio for Nature’s Treasures

Kramer Wetzel

Astrological Prognostication

With the philosophy that humankind is humorous right to its core, Kramer dispenses a deep-fried, homespun wisdom that pokes fun at our foibles and embraces our common sense.

“The biggest problem with astrology is astrologers,” Kramer says. “Too many of the practitioners of this interpretive art form are serious. Way too serious.”

The Science of Astrology involves the exact and precise calculation of the location of the planets as they describe their orbits through the heavens. The Art of Astrology involves taking the precise nature of the Science and putting its influence into words that anyone can understand.

Kramer’s Astrological writings have been in print, in one form or another, for over twenty years. On the Lake of Life, the Fishing Guide to the Stars is a popular method for navigating the murky depth of the human soul. Coming from Texas, he imparts a degree of humor often times missed by other practitioners of this ancient art of prognostication.

Sea of Tranquility

From a quick, sloth-like search on the internet-web, I’m guessing the author is an elder millennial. I was much impressed — and entertained — with her Station Eleven, and from what I understand of the economics and mechanics, the limited edition TV thing makes for financial success. Other books, but only recently did this new release catch my attention. Saw it on sale in the book section at the Costco. Means it’s a big seller. Got a digital library copy.

Touted as Science Fiction, that’s only the loosest of terms. I seem to recall similar, haunting prose from earlier pulp authors where the veil between science fiction and fantasy seemed thinner; there was less definition.

Light and airy, seamed between the past, the present, and the future, writing about pandemics, and various times lines, plus bureaucracy? The quality of the text is inspiring. Evocative voice, and one I am not sure I recognize from that previous work.

But the prose itself, the storytelling, is lyrical and poetic, and yet, and yet, it is a story as old as time itself. It’s an ouroboros, elliptical and yet, circular, still, consuming its own tale.

Entertaining, and thought-provoking, and little slices of time. Science Fiction, but only in the most general of terms. Reminded me of vintage Bradbury, but only as an echo, no direct lineage.

Previously, Station Eleven.

Price Hike

Buddy of mine, a coastal fishing guide, he had a deal, when gas got above three dollars a gallon, he had an “added fuel charge” for his fee. Reasonable enough, he could easily burn “X” gallons running around the bay in a single afternoon, and back in the bad, old days, when gas was over three bucks a gallon, maybe a decade back? I can’t seem to find the pictures from those trips.

There was pandemic pricing, and then the face-mask pricing, and now? Fuel surcharge pricing.

Coming up on two years now, my services have stayed the same price. I have one offering, a single price, but I can always tack on “an added fuel surcharge,” if need be.

So far, the half-hour rate is the same.

Unchanged.

Price Hike

What is going up? The real Price Hike?

“Friends and family discounts.”

Raise them rates, for sure.

Foyle’s Books

Foyle’s Books — Thought I had images. Apparently not. Just a single passing reference, in situ, as it were.

Sort of in London, someplace, I’m sure I can look it up on the web, but why ruin the mystery? It was tucked away in the vaguely claustrophobic old city streets.

When I was last there, been more than a decade, so this is excavating memories, but the place wasn’t “computerized.” There wasn’t a running index of where books were, by topic or author, and there was a huge number of the then-British only imprint, Penguin.

Perfect for browsing in that serendipitous way that leads to great discoveries, albeit inadvertent.

Foyle’s Books

My books are available at Nature’s Treasures in Austin, Eagles Nest in San Antonio, and online.
