On a recommendation from a friend of mine who likes to read alternate histories as much as I do, I picked up the first of John Birmingham’s Axis of Time trilogy, Weapons of Choice.
In the year 2021, the American-led Multinational Force flies the four-star flag of Admiral Kolhammer aboard the Bush-class carrier USS Hillary Clinton. [...]
My first experience in reading Griffin’s work was actually in reading his Brotherhood of War series from end to end. I thought perhaps that I had read the crown jewel of his efforts, but I was sorely mistaken. Semper Fi kicks off a series that I found to be far superior to the [...]
About 50,000 years from now, should humans still inhabit the Earth, they will receive a message from their ancestors launched in late 2007 or early 2008. The KEO Satellite will be launched from an Ariane 5 rocket by the European Space Agency and placed into an Earth orbit of 1,800 kilometers, which would allow [...]
If you ever scroll down a bit on the blog page, here, you might notice that there are little tidbits of information on the sides. I spent some time working on the site last night, to remove the horrid-looking Amusements section and added in a Now Reading section, powered by Rob Miller’s Now Reading plugin. [...]
During the first few days of the Hope Station: Phoenix saga, I toyed with the idea of a non-military or political story involving a single ship manned by civilians just trying to carve a living out of life in space. A five page start emerged and was passed around as a means of portraying how [...]
Today is December 7th.
Sixty-five years ago, on this day, the First Air Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the United States military installations on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu. The first wave of the attack struck the naval base at Pearl Harbor, along with Kāneʻohe Marine Corps Base and the Army Air [...]
What am I intending to accomplish in December?
Finish Ex Populus Libertas Quod Prosperitasque: Ready Five
Start/Finish Ex Populus Libertas Quod Prosperitasque: The Ganymede Conference
Finish Knight Commander’s 6th Revision and hope that there isn’t a 7th.
Commission a cover for Ex Populus‘ release on lulu.com.
Hopefully, this will all get done within the next three weeks, but I’m not [...]
As I am participating in Holidailies this year, I realize that there are some people who’re reading this blog for the first time and not quite understanding what it is that I’m doing here or perhaps who I am. I did not really answer the first day’s prompt, but I figured that a post [...]
The deconstruction of a character is fun when you’re reading a story. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I enjoy trying to see some of the granules of information writers use to put together a character. I think the little things about them present a depth to them that some writers might otherwise ignore. I’m [...]
I thought I did pretty well during the National Novel Writing Month. I was shooting for 100,000 words as the Evolution Writers site had thrown down the gauntlet for its members to give it a try, but it turned out that I didn’t need 100k words to tell my story. Just a hair [...]
