100 word challenge: Traveler
A different sort of inspiration this week: Karen finally felt at home. Sure, life in the American West was hard, but once you were armed — and that was always her first step — the rest worked itself out. The most important lesson she’d learned: Wherever and whenever you are, be prepared to defend […]

Pssst, Browncoats!
You know how we’re all still mourning the cancellation of Firefly and the death of Wash? (Insert shinkick for Joss here.) Well, check out this really well-done fan film*. Seriously, it’s very well done, and Joss could make up for killing off Wash and Book by giving this guy a call. Enjoy! Make […]

Terrible Tuesday: Very tired
We went to bed early because MTG had to be up at 4 am. But I tossed and turned for an hour or so. No big, I can sleep in. Except when MTG got up, I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep for a couple of hours. I finally did get back to […]

Fine Arts Friday: the art of the soundtrack
Today you’re in for a special treat. My friend Erika Franz is the author of today’s guest post on soundtracks, specifically the soundtracks of science fiction.

My friend Jimmie Bise, former host of The Delivery and current co-host of Strange Worlds Travelogue, took my suggestion and did a show on sci-fi for kids.

Empty Shelf Challenge: On Basilisk Station
My fourth book for the Empty Shelf Challenge is not part of the mother-daughter book club. Oddly, I chose this sci-fi tale because of Beth Moore. What? Beth Moore, the bible study lady? Yes, that Beth Moore. I was feeling guilty about downloading a bunch of free kindle books that she was offering on Amazon […]

Terrible Tuesday: Switching Seasons
This week we have no end of year events. No Scouts or concerts or parties. It’s all done. So you know what that means, don’t you? Yes, Summer Softball and camp preparation begin in earnest. Sprite has four days of softball in a row, I have four hours of training for camp, and the kiddos all […]

Something’s wrong
A familiar construct in sci-fi and fantasy is the induced utopia story. Everyone is living a passive, happy life, nothing bothers them. It’s all very nice, and not quite right. Then somebody snaps out of it (or was never affected in the first place) and saves the day for the messy, rambunctions disorderly humans. (Face […]
