  • Amazon’s Kindle Vella On The Horizon

    Amazon will be introducing a new platform for writers and readers called Kindle Vella. If you are familiar with WattPad, it is very similar, allowing the author to release episodes one at a time, while interacting with their readers. This methodology has proven very effective for new writers on WattPad, including me, but add to…

  • “We were born to look up.”

  • Ho-Hum

    I Just checked the Cape Canaveral launch schedule. A SpaceX launch at 4:28 AM Wednesday morning March 24, 2021. The news doesn’t even carry the schedules because they happen so often. Here we are in a day and age where launches are a dime a dozen. In 1950 this would’ve been looked at as an…

  • Feb 18th (2021) – Perseverance Rover Lands on Mars

    It seems like only yesterday CURIOSITY landed on Mars, but that took place in 2012, August 6th at 05:17 UTC. I set my alarm and was up at 3:00 AM ET, listening to what seemed a live Sci-Fi broadcast, sitting on the edge of my seat, during the Seven Minutes Of Terror. But hearing that NASA…

  • Advantageous – Sci-Fi that makes you think

    I so much enjoyed watching a Sci-Fi on Netflix called, Advantageous. A great film… a thinking person’s film. As someone once said, ‘everything has already been written’, and I believe that to true. Advantageous is not a new concept. Robert Sawyer’s Mindscan, which was one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi reads , delves into…

  • Blue Light Special (End of Days Series)

    BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL (End Of Days Series – David Nadas) “Hello? … Hello?…  F’ing thing! ” Jammie shouted into the car’s navigation screen as if that would speed up the Bluetooth connection from her mobile phone. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Her husband’s worried voice asked through the speakers, catching only her last remarks. “Yeah……

  • I know what county you are from

    “I know what county you are from….“ My moniker for Science Fiction writers has always been, “Science Fiction Is Fact That Just Hasn’t Happened Yet.”  Big deal… So what….  Anyone with a brain can see that…. Sure, easy peasy at the hundred-thousand-foot view. But can you see it at the ten thousand foot view?  How…

  • Sci-Fi Rules the Stream

    One silver lining to this pandemic has been a lot of binge watching of Sci-Fi series , which I never made the time for: Altered Carbon (Netflix), DEVS (FX HULU), Electric Dreams (Amazon Prime), Tales From The Loop (Amazon Prime). Prospect (NetFlix). Then there are the foreign film SciFi series, which are sophisticated, beautifully cast…

  • A fountain in space

    It’s amazing what we can capture on a tablet. this cosmic pix is the water fountain, in a pond, in my community, in Fl, planet Earth.

  • Patience is indeed a virtue.

    Life is never more than an iteration– a series of fractal experiences where we jump from one era to another, seemingly different but always the same.Years ago, in NYC, during the end of the Koch administration when subway cars lacked AC and the lights constantly flickered, I was sitting near the door of a downtown…
