WILLIAM HRDINA’S FULL BIBLIOGRAPHY

I started creating this list in April, 2008.  It is not completely complete.  I lost a bunch of early short stories and at least one mess of a novel to the chaos of being in my 20’s.  I actually have a copy of all of the stuff listed.

ReTitled/ReWorked Novels

  • The Diary of Bobby Steiner (2008) renamed The Diary of Bobby Stoner (2012)
  • Music of Dreams (2005-2006) renamed Agharta (2013)
  • IOTA Volumes 1-7 “Special First Draft Editions” published on March 23, 2011. — Retired Feb-March, 2013
  • Ialtaboath (2004) rewritten but retained name Ialtaboath (2013)
  • Once a Dream Did Weave reworked (2013)
  • Cargo (2011) Trunked then Untrunked.  Dropped @75,000 words completely- rewrote everything as YA and finished first re-write draft in Jan. 2014
  • The Gospels of Nikola Tesla.  Wrote for a full year Feb. 2014-Feb. 2015.  After amassing @140,000 words of a first draft, I cut 110,000 and kept only the Gospel Segments.  Cut segments then adapted into The Martyrs of CHANGE from 2018-20.
  • The Devil and Daniel DeVay went under the working title The Devil and Bubba-John until 2021.  Vickei convinced me to change it, a good call I think.

First (really really bad) attempts at writing once I knew I wanted to write:

  • The Secret Life of Trees (@1999) An idea inspired by a King Missile song.  It’s a good idea- but sheesh- talk about badly written.
  • Mega Machine Inc. (@1999) Inspired by a college lecture by one of my top 3 favorite college professors- Jim Hart of Indiana University.

Unfinished Book Projects:

    • Early half-assed attempt at a first novel- sorta- with Fnord in Title (@1997 or 98- on an old fashioned word processor with a dot matrix printer) Mostly lost.
    • OPIS- Old People In Space 38,000 words (2003) I’m going to finish this someday.  It’s my “How to make up for how bad you suck” novel to the Baby Boomers.
    • Inside and Outside 21,000 words (2004) A weird book about recruitment and belonging. Never really took off.
    • BS- novel about perspective – 4 stories 23,000 words (2008) Good ideas- just petered out  Used one of the ideas in this as a core idea for Rock of Aiden
    • Death With Dignity- Con man who comes to believe his own bullshit. 22,000 words (2009) Couldn’t find the proper voice.
    • Nobody believes in Dragons (32,000 words) Not sure what I’m going to do with it.
    • CHANGE The History of the First Tesla Church. (Worked on this book for the bulk of 2017 without finishing.  It’s 83,000 words and only half-ish done- it’s just too big for current market)  I will return to this book with the doc Wild Country (on Netflix) in mind (about the Rajneeshis in Oregon and how they dissolved into militancy).  Also interested in turning this into a script for a 2-series TV show.  Finally completed in 2020.
    • Americorps-A Self-Hagiography. (2018) (17,000 words) Stopped when I had the idea for Arcadia, Michigan.  Also something I’d like to mess with again at some point.
    • Sequel to Enemy Mind, Enemy Minds, A chunk of 2021 (50,000 words)
    • How’d We End Up Here?  Started and dropped, late 2022.  (26,000 words)
