  • What really matter(s)

    Take a break from the idiocracy. Gazing into these images, I can’t help but think our existence is a conscienceless for the universe to identify what, itself, is. I write Science Fiction as a means of inventing future tech to see these wonders for myself. Click on the image below to see the Astronomy Photographer…

  • 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…

  • The power required to read this post

    There was an expression my father always used: “Nihil liberum est.” My dad was big on Latin, and it means, “Nothing Is Free.”  But if the attached video does not quite do the job and you need to understand what the cost of data might look like in a dark future, read the Sci-Fi trilogy…

  • What would aliens actually look like?

    It is quite easy for a Sci-Fi author to make their aliens very human-like (guilty of charged– as in my upcoming novel, Silversides); trying to write a story where they are nothing like humans creates a lot more work for the author, even if that alien does not have a speaking part.

  • The Past Life Of Writing

    Looking at this picture of my past I can remember everything about that day: How I felt, whom I was with, where and why I was there.  I can recall the smell the salt in the air and the heat of the sand beneath my feet. But an odd thing happened the other day while attending a…

  • On this date, five years ago. Somewhere in NYC, I began to write.

    It is hard to believe that five years ago, on this date in a NYC coffee shop on the upper east side, I started my writing career. You can see other frustrated writers around me, but this cozy place became the catalyst for putting pen to paper, or in my case, fingers to keypad.  Since…

  • Sargassum and the art of writing about what you know

    Sargassum, as seen here in the curl of the wave, drifts ashore when the winds are steady, rolling into massive piles along the littoral zone, crucial for the ecology of barrier islands. Is it coincidence or by grand design that it is washing ashore during a super moon, when the highest of tides will push…

  • Where Do Sci-Fi Writers Get Their Ideas? Part III

    EEven if you are not a writer, this is perhaps one of the most inspirational TED Talks I have ever watched (Anne Madden).  It should make you think, something our media is trying to suppress. I encourage every writer of sci-fi to watch and absorb.  Listen and let your creativity loose, let it be the…

  • Waiting For The Asteroid

    With June 30th approaching ( Asteroid Day), here are a few things you can research, read and watch to prepare yourself. RESEARCH:  Start with the leading authority of all things asteroids by going to Asteroidday.org. READ:  I had started a series of sci-fi shorts titled: End Of Days.  One of these stories deals specifically with an…
