CHARLES COPELAND REFLECTS ON 6 MONTHS WITHOUT AMY

Thursday, May 3, 2010

Posted by Jim Gordon

We're coming up on the six-month observance of Amy's death and I know I should be getting "better" in terms of the grieving process, and in some ways I am, but I can tell you all here and now that as the days inch closer to May 12th I will almost assuredly begin more and more to "zone out". I seem to be hit harder during the anniversary markings each month than other times, and this next one is a pretty big one.

Six months used to feel like the blink of an eye for me. The days would skip past as if clicking by in a slide show carousel and at the end of six months I'd have trouble recalling everything that had happened in that time because it just went by too quickly. Now, though, six months may as well be forever. I spend my days thinking about Amy and my nights dreaming about her. Each 24 hour period feels as if it has stretched out to SEVERAL days ... and that's a thought that angers me at times.

Over the last eighteen months of Amy's life, she and I had begun wishing for a way to slow time down. We wanted not just to spend a lot of our time together but to spend it in ways that would make it feel as if we were truly making the most out of every last second. We used to joke about going to eBay to see if anyone there had figured out a way to sell blocks of time they didn't expect to use. Spare time is a rare commodity. I'd have bought up every bit of it I could get, if ever there had been sales of that kind. But technology doesn't work that way, dammit, and we knew that. Still, we wanted to enjoy our time together, and we wanted a lot more of it.

Sometimes I think Amy knew her time was almost up. If she did I'm sure it was only a subconscious knowing, otherwise she would have let me know it. And if she had ever told me her time was dwindling, I can honestly tell you that there wouldn't even have been a shadow left of me online ... I would have disappeared altogether without any explanation just to spend every second with Amy. And hindsight allows me, now, to have all kinds of "I wish" moments, times in which I find myself wishing I had done this or that ... just little things to let Amy know how incredible she was and how vital she was to me and how deeply in love with her I was and had always been. There was never any shortage of that, though. She knew all of that stuff because I told her as often as I could, and she told me right back. So both of us knew. I just wish I'd said it all SO MUCH MORE.

Life is filled with moments like those, where I wish I had done more. And six months has done nothing to dull those thoughts. I know they will still be razor sharp even if I live to be 120 years-old, and that's fine with me. Those "I wish" moments, as painful as they are, keep me close to Amy. And that's something I wouldn't change for all the money in the world.

Six months. It may as well be forever.

I do miss her so.

CHARLES COPELAND ANNOUNCES NEW WEBMASTER FOR CHARLESCOPELAND.COM

Thursday, May 27, 2010

Posted by Jim Gordon

"I know it's been a long time since I offered any news. That's because I've been completely devastated by losing Amy. In these past five months I've come to know the meaning of true pain and suffering. My only fear in life ... happened. I lost the one person in life who meant more to me than ANYTHING. Amy was everything to me, and I have no idea how I'm supposed to go on breathing without her. I'll do it, of course, because that's what she would want me to do. I just don't know how.

Part of that means having to give up on some of the things I had been meaning to do on my own. I was originally going to take over all operational duties for Amy's website and radio station, Fractured Mirror Radio, but there's absolutely no way that's going to happen. I'm far too involved with the grieving process to handle such a workload like running an entire radio station. I've also had to give up on the idea of being my own webmaster. Again, I just don't have time or patience for it. So I've hired another buddy of mine to take care of it for me. His name is James Gordon and he's a computer wizard. I've been friends with Jim for more than half my life and I'd trust him with a billion dollars. So Jim is the new webmaster for CHARLESCOPELAND.COM.

Please make him feel welcome. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for him or the website, feel free to email Jim at webmaster@charlescopeland.com."

VITAL UPDATE TO CHARLESCOPELAND.COM

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 11:51 PM, Charles held Amie in his arms as she passed away from a heart attack. All efforts to revive her were unsuccessful. Please bear with us as Charles works through the intense grieving process. Thank you for your understanding. 

ALL SALES OF CHARLES COPELAND NOVELS WILL BENEFIT THE AMY COPELAND MEMORIAL

Friday, January 22, 2010

Posted by Anthony Harmon

We're all deeply saddened at the loss of someone as full of life as was Amy Copeland. I knew her for a little more than three years and I can tell you that if you never had the pleasure of meeting her, you have no idea how much you missed. She was truly an amazing woman. My own wife and I offer our most sincere condolences to Amy's beloved family and to Charles as well.

Having spoken to Charles no less than six times each day since Amy's passing on January 12, I can tell you that he is devastated. I've known him for a long, long time and have never known him to be so completely crushed. It's no wonder though, considering that he and Amy were closer than any other couple I've ever known. It hurts my heart to know he's so lost without her, and my wife and I know well that there is nothing we can do to lessen the pain he feels. All I can say is that if you've ever been a friend to Charles Copeland, he really needs all the friends and support he can get.

I have decided to donate 100% of my salary as webmaster at CharlesCopeland.com to the Amy Copeland Memorial Fund for the rest of 2010 and beyond. I know it won't bring her back, but I don't feel like I can accept any kind of salary for the foreseeable future. I want all of that money to go to helping memorialize one of the greatest human beings ever. And, quite honestly, I've always felt that Charles paid me much more to be his webmaster than what the job should have paid. And my conscience won't allow me to accept too much money for a job I already love, while he is suffering with so much emotional pain and turmoil.

Also, Charles has decided to donate 100% of all of his future novel sales to the Amy Copeland Memorial Fund. For the remainder of his writing career, every penny you spend on his books will go directly to building the Amy Copeland Memorial. So please, from the bottom of my heart, please go right from here to the purchasing page at CharlesCopeland.com (CLICK HERE), buy what you can, and help support the Amy Copeland Memorial.

Rest in peace, dear Amy. You will be forever missed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I just wanted to take a moment here before midnight to wish each and every one of you a safe, productive, prosperous and happy 2010. That is, of course, a wish extended only to those who are NOT members of the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties. You know who you are, don't sit there and think you're blameless. You people get NOTHING good from me. In fact, you can count on a heavy pounding from me throughout 2010, starting with Malleus Illuminatus ... edited and ready for publishing as of now. Your crimes against humanity are ALL about to be brought to light.

Now then, for the rest of humanity, be well and let's enjoy 2010 for all it has to offer!

CHARLES COPELAND HAS DELETED HIS MYSPACE PRESENCES (UPDATE)

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

Okay, here's the deal. Charles Copeland used to maintain four MySpace profiles (three for novel characters). One of them was quite obviously phished. Charles and his wife discovered this and decided to permanently delete ALL FOUR profiles.

"I won't stand for that," Charles says. "You'd think a site as huge and well-financed and backed as MySpace would get a handle on phishing of accounts once and for all, but no ... it continues. I had my main profile for more than three damn years, problems all the while, and I just don't have time or patience for that kind of crap. It's a friggin' waste and it pisses me off. So I'm DONE WITH IT!"

Those of you who were on Charles' friends list and want to keep in touch with him may do so at Fractured Mirror Radio's forum. It's free to join and best of all ...

THERE'S NO PHISHING THERE!!!

CHARLES COPELAND HAS DELETED HIS MYSPACE PRESENCES

Friday, December 18, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

Charles used to maintain four separate MySpace profiles (his, Jessie Dalton's, Edison Adams', and Destroyer's), or tasked me with the daily maintenance for all four. For reasons which will be clearly explained in the coming weeks, Charles has completely abandoned MySpace in all cases whatsoever. In the future, if anyone in MySpace should contact you and they claim to be Charles Copeland or a representative of him or his work, please note that they are lying to you.

Stand by for updates.

MALLEUS ILLUMINATUS UPDATE: THE ILLUMINATI HAMMER IS EMERGING

Friday, November 27, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

It's almost the end of November again, and Charles Copeland has produced yet another novel in which he RIPS the Illuminati, the oncoming New World Order, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the United Nations, the state of Israel, the British empire, the Vatican, the Black Pope, the new age, Transhumanism, U.N. Agenda 21, and other topics related to the global government being set up before our eyes.

The new novel, as you already know if you've been keeping up with the news here at CHARLESCOPELAND.COM, is entitled MALLEUS ILLUMINATUS: THE ILLUMINATI HAMMER. It is Charles' fifth full length novel, and because I've read the unedited version I can tell you all here and now that, as far as ripping the Illuminati goes, this one is Charles' masterpiece. The savage murder of 4,256 Illuminati members (note the significance of the total there ... a nod to the number of hits compiled by Pete Rose in his career) speaks to the endurance of the ability of our protagonist, U.S. Army Major General Edison Adams, to carry out a single act of vengeance against the entire power structure of the Ancient Order of the Bavarian Illuminati. This action, more of a personal war against the Illuminati by a lone avenger, causes the remaining Illuminati members to speed up their plans for global domination. What they do in speeding up their plans can only be called global genocide. Billions of people are exterminated. Society itself fractures, and with it the fate of the entire human family is thrown into imminent peril.

Will humanity survive?

Edison Adams knows. And he has the tools with which mankind can free itself forever from Illuminati slavery.

For the first time in the history of planet Earth, mankind's future lies within its own grasp.

Where this future is headed belongs to you.

Look for updates including whole chapters of Malleus to be posted right here in the coming weeks, followed by the full-scale release of the novel that is sure to rock the power structure of the New World Order to its very core.

MALLEUS ILLUMINATUS: THE ILLUMINATI HAMMER ... When those who make the laws refuse to live by them, they must be held accountable by methods outside the law.

LATEST UPDATE ON MALLEUS ILLUMINATUS

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

I spoke to Charles on the phone this morning. It seems the arrival of Hurricane Ida has provided him with enough cabin fever time to adjust some of the plot lines involving several characters in the book, as well as leaving him free to write until his heart's contentment. Cabin fever time has always proven to be the most productive for Charles (he seems to write twice as much, twice as fast, as if his life depends on it), and this time is sure to be no different. As shown in the widget below, Charles is nearing the halfway point for Malleus, which means I should be receiving a partial manuscript any day now via email.

As soon as I get any new material, once having cleared with Charles that it is okay to do so, I will post as much as he allows in the UPDATES AND PHOTOS section.

Charles said he renewed his objection to being cooped up indoors for two days on end, stated that he felt caged, and that when the hurricane finally leaves, he is very likely to run outside and ... "keep running until I reach Canada, just for the hell of it, and because it'll be my first crack at freedom in two days". He also said, however, that the end of the book is now in sight, and that the final chapters promise to provide enough fireworks to keep readers turning pages until they hit the end.

UPDATE ON MALLEUS ILLUMINATUS STATUS

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

Well, looks like Charles is 20,000 words into Malleus, and from what I've read so far, it stands to be every bit as fierce as Charles let on that it would be. You can read the pre-edit version of Chapter One HERE, Chapter Three HERE, and Chapter Four HERE. Chapter Two is unavailable at this time, though I don't know why. Charles often leaves whole sections of in-progress books unavailable for readers, preferring instead to paste the entire novel together at the end. Consider the first three of four chapters to be Easter eggs, if you will.

And trust me ... the rest is even better!!!

Malleus is easily going to be Charles' best work ever!!!

NANO 2009 HAS BEGUN

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Posted by Anthony Harmon

Charles has begun writing Malleus Illuminatus!!!

I will provide updates as fast and as often as possible, assuming I'm able to get in touch with Charles on a regular basis. He's been known to get into a writing tear which leaves him unreachable for days on end. However, I have access to several methods by which I can contact him (let's call these methods "Bat Phones"), so if one doesn't work, I'll try all the others.

NEW WEBMASTER AT CHARLESCOPELAND.COM

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Posted by Charles Copeland

Well, I know I told you I'd be doing the "webmastering" here from now on, but the fact is ... I'm just not that into that sort of thing. I've never been very good at it, I'm not the least bit efficient at it, I have little patience for it, and by midnight on Saturday, I just flat out won't have ANY time for it. Writing a full novel in 30 days requires ALL my focus and attention. And that means I'd be completely ineffective at being my own webmaster.

So ...

I've enlisted Anthony Harmon, a friend of mine who happens to be the founder of the "A Song of Independence Fan Club". I've known Anthony for years now and I can tell you all without hesitation that I trust him fully with both the upkeep of the site and the accuracy of everything that will be posted here as well.

In short, he's no Shawn King. You can trust Anthony. At least I know I can ... and that's a huge load off my mind.

So, from here on out, most postings will be from him. I'll still write for the site and the news section, on occasion, but Anthony will post all of that ... verbatim from what I write ... unlike how Shawn did things around here.

Please welcome Anthony. He's a great guy and a great addition to the site.

THE SETUP PROCESS FOR WRITING A FULL NOVEL IN 30 DAYS

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Posted by Charles Copeland

Yep, it's Saturday, which means there are only 7 days to go until NaNo 2009. I've been putting myself through sensory deprivation for the past 2 weeks in order to properly re-wire my brain for this year's NaNo (same as all the others), and dealing with the myriad of problems created in the last week or so and dumped right in my lap, which is LOADS of fun. Add to that the severe temptation of just jumping into the writing process right now (oh, the pacing and pacing I've done) ... screw waiting the next 7 days ... and I've pretty much turned myself into my very own monster.

If you were to watch the videos posted in the Multimedia section (complete with the present version of me sporting flashy new bags under my eyes), you'd understand why this is NOT a good time for me to confront problems in the hopes of finding creative and productive solutions. Instead, what I've done lately is swing the proverbial baseball bat with my eyes closed, just waiting to see what gets hit hardest. Sometimes in life, virtually EVERYTHING becomes a piñata ...

The first 3 days of a writing journey usually come with a decent dose of proverbial baseball bat swinging. I just hope candy comes out of the computer on which I'm writing this ...

SHAWN KING IS NO LONGER THE WEBMASTER AT CHARLESCOPELAND.COM

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Posted by Charles Copeland

As of 9 AM, Friday, October 23, Shawn King is no longer the webmaster at CHARLESCOPELAND.COM.

He has been fired, effective immediately, to contemplate his mistakes.

I have no need to defend myself, but I will say here and now that Shawn made multiple claims about me which he claimed were "on my behalf" on multiple sites across the internet that were completely untrue and now I am tasked with going to all those sites to clean up messes he made.

From now on, I, Charles Copeland, will be the webmaster for this site.

And no more lies will be allowed to be spread about me.

Period.

After tonight, ANY comments about me anywhere on the internet that are baseless lies will be treated as slander and/or libel and the people spouting those lies will be met with the swiftest, most aggressive legal measures possible.

Click HERE to watch my video warning against everyone lying about me and my career.

I'm deadly serious about this whole thing.
