When the idea for my novel, One Last Flight, first came to me, I thought it could make for a fun short story. Thirteen months and sixty thousand plus words later, I had a novel on my hands. More than that, I had created a world I wanted to return to again and again. I … Continue reading Sequels and Second Thoughts

Franchise Redeemed?
When Luke Skywalker tossed his light saber over the cliff, my interest in the Star Wars franchise went with it. Thus, while I will not be watching the latest installment of Disney's dismal Mary Rey Sue saga, I am intrigued by The Mandalorian series. I keep hearing really good things about it. The latest … Continue reading Franchise Redeemed?
Galactic Christendom: A Short History
There is a prejudice in modern SF so nearly ubiquitous that it can be considered a trope. I’m talking about the assumption that the more technologically advanced a civilization becomes, the less religious it will be.

So What Exactly is, ‘One Last Flight’?
One Last Flight is a novella set in the universe of The Holy Terran Empire. The Holy Terran Empire is an idea for a space opera I've been kicking around in my head for a few months. Consider it a Catholic blend of Star Trek and Star Wars. It is set some three thousand years after … Continue reading So What Exactly is, ‘One Last Flight’?
NaNoWriMo Is A Bust
My computer died on November 3, dashing my NaNoWriMo plans to pieces. I wasn't able to replace it until a few days ago and have in the interim been doing my writing by hand in a notebook. It's been such a long, long time since I've done so much longhand writing that the particular muscles … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Is A Bust
