I don’t see why this chap doesn’t just write fiction, and be upfront that that’s what it is. I get that the popular fiction industry is competitive and audiences are fickle. But certainly someone with years in academe would at least know people connected to the industry.
I don’t say this lightly, but I’m a bit concerned for Prof Cheshire’s mental health. A willingness to violate the boundary between one’s inner subjective world and the external objective world is typical of severe social isolation and loneliness. (Think Tom Hanks’ character in “Castaway” naming a volleyball ‘Wilson’, and talking to it like a friend.)
Gerry, if you’re reading this, methinks you need to get your vaccine and start getting out more.
