Connections & Entanglements
In this book, discover how our social bonds, grounded in the principle of Six Degrees of Separation, can lead us from casual connections to deep, sometimes dangerous entanglements in twelve compelling stories.
Welcome to the creative world of Rodney Fenner, a thirty-six-year-old author and screenwriter from Norfolk, Virginia. Rodney’s love for words was ignited in ninth grade, inspired by a classmate’s poetry notebook—a spark that has grown into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Somebody once told Rodney he’d never write a novel, which only fired him up. He set out to prove them wrong, thus embarking on a very ongoing journey through literature.
Rodney’s creative tug is magnetic, drawing him into many forms of storytelling. In addition to his two books, he has written two screenplays and is working on more, and will soon dive into stage plays. His passion for storytelling is about being able to shed light on the different nuances of life through interconnectedness, creativity, and the duality of light and dark.
The atmosphere of nature was unstoppably intoxicating. With the sun in the final stages of setting and the moon moving in as its heir, the light weaved through the leaves and trees to hit the forest floor like a natural disco ball. I inhaled the smells of the animals, trees and the nearby lake and they pirouetted gracefully into my nose.
I was finally done. I’d been sitting in front of my computer perusing the spec script I’d just completed. The burden was at last off my shoulders and I was satisfied with what I had created.
Dark blue. Yellow. Orange. Red. The colors blended together harmoniously as I watched the sun rise above the horizon, seeking to animate the potential of another day.
I sat on the porch of my cabin and stared off into the trees around my home until something caught my eye at the edge of the woods.
I knew this would happen. Knowing the inevitability of the moment didn’t decrease my reluctance, though. The visit was over. She was reluctant as well. I could see it in her face. I could hear it in her voice.
Every chapter opens a doorway into moments woven with emotion and sensory richness. Each one is a scene of discovery, introspection, and connection, exploring the rhythm of nature, the challenge of creativity, and the nuances of relationships.
