As an author I don’t have a set type of material that I write about. I like science fiction, and I have a science fiction book published. I was working on three other different types of books when my wife, Diane, suggested that I write a book of short stories, some of which would be suitable reading for young people and for reading to children. Later that day I was doing a photo shoot and an interview for the Chattanooga Times Free Press, and during the interview was asked what made me decide to become an author. I told them that living in this area I had become interested in the Civil War. Also being in the military I always analyzed what both sides did in the battles, and made a mental exercise of determining what could have changed the outcomes. Over the years I had come up with a strategy that the South could have used to win the war, and wanted to write about it. Further I stated that I liked telling stories to my children and grandchildren.
Written by Frederick Clemmons, Aberration is a fictional story of a chimp's child. Frank, as he is called, is different. He is small, bright, and abnormal. In fact he maybe a mutant. Born in a primate research center, what is the reaction of the staff? What do they do with him and what does he do back? That is the story. But is there more?
