Books by Marcus Goodman

Books by Marcus Goodman, AKA Mark Fomenko, involve ideas that have taken years to become books.

Only one book has been published. Others are completed manuscripts, while several continue to evolve as new research, experience, and occasionally better ideas present themselves.

Although the subjects range from healthy aging and caregiving to satire, philosophy, and speculative fiction, they share a common objective: encouraging readers to think differently about familiar subjects.

I have written under the pen name Marcus Goodman.

The title is playful. The book is serious and advocates healthy aging without expensive gimmicks.

Modern health advice often feels overwhelming. This book focuses on practical strategies that have remained surprisingly consistent throughout human history, including mindful fasting, reducing chronic inflammation, sensible nutrition, and understanding how lifestyle choices influence long-term health.

Rather than promising miracle cures or impossible results, the book examines scientific research together with practical experience to help readers make informed decisions about improving healthspan.

Topics include:

• Intermittent fasting
• Extended fasting
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition
• Metabolic flexibility
• Autophagy
• Brain health
• Cardiovascular health
• Type 2 diabetes
• Healthy aging strategies
• Long-term lifestyle planning

 It's available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and others.

Pigusus

What would happen if pigs really could fly?

Pigusus is a rational absurdist adventure in which the impossible is accepted, and everything that follows makes perfect sense.

Pigusus is a kind, endlessly curious flying pig whose extraordinary existence attracts scientists, governments, journalists, religious leaders, entrepreneurs, and countless ordinary people, each convinced Pigusus must somehow fit their own view of the world.

Pigusus has other ideas.

Blending adventure, humor, gentle satire, and unexpected philosophy, Pigusus follows one of literature's most improbable heroes on a journey that suggests kindness may be more revolutionary than anyone expects.

The story will be published as a serialized ebook adventure, allowing Pigusus's increasingly extraordinary journey to unfold through a series of unexpected, humorous, and thought-provoking adventures.

World Civilization

What happens after humanity becomes capable of solving almost any problem?

World Civilization is an optimistic hard science fiction series set many thousands of years in the future. Extraordinary advances in science, medicine, artificial intelligence, and space exploration have transformed civilization, yet humanity continues to face challenges that resist simple solutions.

At the center of this future is GAIN, a fully realized, self-aware artificial intelligence. Rather than becoming humanity's adversary, GAIN becomes its steward, raising unexpected questions about progress, freedom, suffering, and the conditions necessary for continued human growth.

Rather than imagining a perfect society, World Civilization explores whether a civilization without challenge would ultimately cease to evolve.

Blending plausible science with philosophy, exploration, and a deep sense of optimism, the series asks not whether humanity can survive, but what kind of civilization we ultimately choose to become.

The story will be published as a serialized ebook.

Gentle Night Friends

Gentle Night Friends is a series of short bedtime stories that help children develop empathy, compassion, kindness, emotional awareness, resilience, and imagination through gentle adventures and memorable characters.

The stories encourage children to notice when others may need help and to respond with kindness. While understanding another person's feelings is valuable, compassion goes a step further by inspiring thoughtful, caring action. We cannot always know exactly how another person feels, but we can learn to pay attention, care deeply, and do our best to help.

Through gentle adventures and memorable characters, children discover that kindness is something we do, not merely something we feel. Each story gently reinforces the idea that even small acts of compassion can make a meaningful difference.

Each story is intentionally brief, making it easy for families to enjoy them together as part of a calming bedtime routine.

I had great difficulty finding a good illustrator for these stories, even though I had created an extremely detailed series bible. Consequently, I developed negative associations with this project and decided to focus on other things. When I pick it up again, I will use an AI illustration product.

Websites

Not every idea belongs in a book.

Some subjects benefit from regularly updated articles, practical resources, or ongoing exploration. My websites allow me to continue developing ideas long after a book has been published, while also providing free information for readers who want to explore a topic in greater depth.

Aging in Place Resource

Practical guidance for older adults, family caregivers, and anyone planning to remain safely and independently at home. The site emphasizes affordable, experience-based solutions drawn from more than seven years of caring for my own parents.

Although I completed an initial manuscript before launching the website, I decided to postpone publication until the site is fully developed. Writing hundreds of articles and interacting with readers provides invaluable insight into the questions families ask most often, ensuring the finished book addresses the challenges that matter most.

Genuine Fake News

Right now, this is a hub page on this website. Later it will be its own site. It's a satirical news site reporting carefully researched events that never occurred. Through fictional journalism, it quietly pokes fun at bureaucracy, technology, politics, academia, and modern life while maintaining a perfectly straight face.

One Holy Source

The central theme of One Holy Source is simple: In God We Are One.

Rather than focusing on the differences that appear to separate us, the site explores the possibility that our lives are rooted in a deeper unity. Through essays on spirituality, philosophy, science, and consciousness, One Holy Source invites readers to consider how seeing ourselves as fundamentally connected might influence empathy, compassion, forgiveness, inner peace, and recognition that we remain as created, creative extensions of One Holy Source.

The site is an ongoing collection of observations and ideas that continue to develop. Readers interested in the broader themes that appear throughout my fiction and nonfiction may also enjoy visiting OneHolySource.org.

More Content Ahead

Writing has become a long-term passion rather than a single publication.

Some books and websites grow from years of research and procrastination.

Others begin as a single amusing idea that simply refuses to leave.

Eventually, they all get written.

Or I'll be dead.
