  • The never-before seen image shows a microscopic metal globe spewing out biological material feared to be an infectious agent.     As a writer of near SciFi, it’s always a great feeling to have written a work and then see a related article sometime after publication. This is what I had in mind when writing, November…

  • This was originally entered as a sci-fi Friday competition on Wattpad.  It had to be no more than 1500 words and the lead in was this:  A dating site inadvertently paired up androids with humans, and we had to take it from there.  Needless to say, I did not even platform under the honorable mention section… LOL, but…

  • In September of 2015, I was invited on WLFR.fm during Mark Grossman’s Eclectic Journey segment, talking about  Stockton University (my alum) of my Sci-Fi, November Seed, and a little about the music and genre of Sci-Fi  that inspires me to write.  November Seed has been available for FREE on: Amazon, Offworlders.com, Wattpad and Smashwords and has been receiving glowing reviews for me to continue the saga (which…

  • I am very excited to announce that November Seed is now available on www.OffWorlders.com  for FREE.  Click on the image below. I selected www.OffWorlders.com to make my novella, November Seed, available to Sci-Fi readers everywhere.  I love this innovative and content rich site and what the folks at OffWorlders are doing here–putting authors in close contact with…

  • November Seed:   Is as invasive a Techno Thriller as Phragmites is to the wetlands.  

  • What a perfect title for a Sci-fi… “The Great Filter” On a research note, this topic is what drives us to explore.    Has any species of the universe ever punched a hole through The Great Filter?  Is the Great Filter a stopgap for us… for any species preventing us/them from infecting the cosmos?    I recently…

  • I am always looking for ways to become a better writer, through immersion, and this is a perfect example. I have been surfing my entire life, so I have first-hand experience with this feeling, but I can see this tech being used in so many ways, for so many things that I have no experience with.  How cool would…

  • Whenever a technology moves too quickly, it frightens people, as we are seeing with drones and the scramble to promote/limit/impede their commercial use.  Unfortunately, some Luddites behind the laws might not see the positive future. About a month ago, I had read a very sad post about the death of a 13-year-old girl involving a pair of Virginia Tech…

  • This was a two wheel Gyro car. A 1954 Ford Gyron, dreamed up by futurist Sydney Mead, who later went on to work with major studios on such films as: as Star Trek: The Motion Picture, followed by Blade Runner, Tron, 2010, Short Circuit, Aliens, Timecop, Johnny Mnemonic and Mission: Impossible III. (wiki)   I…

  • For you Wattpad persons. (Especially my LBI friends) From time to time I enter these Wattpad SciFriday competitions and this one was interesting. A 1500 word maximum short with a valentine day theme of androids getting mistakenly paired with humans. This short takes place on LBI, NJ and is titled, 23 skidoo. I could use…
