 Born in the Age of Aquarius, destined to seek out truths in many an artform, trained as a historian and a journalist but truly a prose-lover... Luciano is out to dispel any clichés and reinvent them all both to the tune of a little something called the truth as also to his own image - being old-fashioned, he does not mind that distinction one infinitesimal tiny bit at all...! "There are two ways to spread the light; be the candle... or the mirror that reflects It." I have chosen to be the latter... okay? "To be not only a seeker of light... but a dream weaver of light ~*~" -As surely as the moon reflects the light from the sun, you and I can reflect the Light from Above - and be, indeed as in deed, the light of this world! *~*

MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- Recently won 500$ in an essay writing contest ~ details are found in my top link here!
- I have made ample use of my three languages (and I want to do even more of that) - offering my literary-quality translation services to particulars and enterprises such as The Syrup Guy. I am trilingual - or, as I always say, I have EFP; English, Français & Português!
- I include here an excerpt of the foreword I penned (along with a chapter) for an anthology/self-help book on Spirituality - one that might become an e-book as well as a traditionally-bound volume.
I edited the entire project, which includes collaborations by authors Pamela Waller, Kristi Sayles and many others. The e-book version is available through Mrs. Sayles or it can be acquired through me. - Was a movie script writing collaborator of Indy filmmaker Annie MacDonald and a songwriting sidekick to songstress São and others.
Was a copywriter/on-air news lecturer at CISM 89.9 FM.
Was also a collaborator at the MONMOT, the student paper at Montmorency College, Laval.
Now my editorials are found on my BLOGS!
Most recently, I wrote a five-part sequential art series for two art studios planning a major joint effort that will, hopefully, spawn a video-game.
The working title is simply "MSC VS. S.U." - the insignia of both studios - and included here is also to be found an excerpt of the first issue. Plus cover art, courtesy of my artistic partner on the project, Tearle Jackson.

MY NEWS:
I am working on several things at once - updates are forthcoming!
These are, for the greater part, novel projects.
I have mostly stuck to my own projects - but will henceforth broaden my horizons and offer my penmanship to help in the writing of memoirs, biographies, book projects eventual customers might have and require help putting them together. Yes, I offer my ghostwriting services.
Also, I am writing sermons and offer spiritual counseling.
Finally, but hardly least, I continue to do translations and interpreting - communication is KEY to success, is it not!
Regards,
Luciano A. Pimentel

 Foreword
They said that all roads led to Rome... Likewise, and far closer to the truth it is to state that, on a spiritual quest, many undertakings as many approaches can be chosen on the journey that is Life to attain fulfillment and a blissful state of awareness. Awareness of oneself as of others - awareness of God and of that tiny glimpse of the cosmos that we can possibly glare at. Awareness of what truly matters. To be able to feel connected to something bigger than oneself can really give one a sense of perspective and peace when it is both best for one's overall stability as it is also basically needed. Whether it's through art, spirituality, community service, our family lives, communing with nature or some combination of all of those, one should always take some time to nourish one's spirit, one's soul, for that is when one is honoring what one truly is. Thus, taking some time to develop that all-important aspect of one's inner self will make each and every one of us better beings able to appreciate everything that surrounds us.
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." -- I John 4:7-8
Yes, there are many pathways to achieve enlightenment, assuredly - many roads that can lead to the Light indeed... Ultimately though, they all lead to the same destination - and, thus, there is only One True Light, One True Source, and One Way. Hindus have a saying: "Ekam Sataha Vipraha Bahudha Vadanti," which may be translated as "the truth is One, but different Sages call it by Different Names." Hinduism, though, does as all other non-Christian religions do - and that is accept various ideas of "God" while not being able to define a true saving relationship with the God of heaven and creator of us all. Notwithstanding this, they do agree and corroborate in principle that there is only one Truth - it is only perceived differently by each pair of human eyes that seeketh it. Not only each creed, religion and such - but down to each individual perception - verily, the truth can take many shapes and forms, while still remaining one and the same. Those that seeketh enlightenment, no matter what their cultural background may be, are all, in effect, brothers and sisters seeking the exact same thing. This tome is about the various pilgrimages undertaken by various such individuals, as diverse and varied in their culture and religious backgrounds as could be found anywhere in the greater Christian world for the most part - though not exclusively. (1)
And each and every single one of them has found a pathway to self-fulfillment, to joy and bliss on Earth - and to that all-important nearness to their Creator.

 AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT - TRULY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:
PART ONE OF A FIVE-PART SEQUENTIAL ART PROJECT: THEN TENTATIVELY TITLED *MSC VS SLASH (STUDIOS)*...
(Written for a customer called Slash Studios in partnership with Midnight Studios Comics)
HERE IS AN EXCERPT OF THE FIRST ISSUE'S SCRIPT:
ISSUE 1 OF 5
PAGE 1 - SPLASH
The vastness of space... With a proliference of black holes, galaxy spirals and assorted space phenomena like it... The scene has to be grand and it has to reek of a "multiverse" feeling (although we cannot use that accepted term now - can we? "Multiverse" is another exclusive DC concept... or is it Marvel's? Let's just say they're both guilty and leave it at that!)
Something vaguely of humanoid form emerges from the farthest reaches of this panorama - and zooms by - it is headed for Earth, evidently!
1. CAPTION: Across the vastness of the starry ways, a primordial evil presence stirs.
2. CAPTION: Over countless eons it has stood still - thinking, planning, biding its time...
3. CAPTION: It has observed during all this time the births and collapses of a myriad empires in twice as many universes...
4. CAPTION: It has measured and evaluated the forces in presence in all of these alternate realities and dimensions...
5. CAPTION: And now, it hungers for the power it has found there - in each and every one of these universes...
6. CAPTION: It wants that power - to add it to its own. All in preparation for the ultimate conflict...
7. CAPTION: And so, in seeking to win the final battle against the Light, this darkest of primordial evils now begets an aspect of it...
8. CAPTION: ... and sends it to the first two universes on its sinister agenda.
9. CAPTION: Time has come for the collection of these powers - time has come to set the stage for the final outcome.
PAGE 2 - SPLASH
He emanates from the depths of the cosmos... with some considerable fireworks. He's already reached our planet at this point...
1. CAPTION: He has come forth from many dimensions afar. He has come to observe... and to measure. This time FIRST HAND.
2. CAPTION: Strengths. Weaknesses. Valor. Prowess. Endurance. Resiliency. POWER.
3. CAPTION: He needs to know about all of these characteristics in each subject that he observes henceforth - for he has greater things in mind for all that he encounters... and for two of them in particular... Which two is what remains to be determined - and determined it shall be... in singular combat.
