I was working on a cover for a novella I was working on. Close to completion just need some final touches on the illustration. I took various airplane designs and fused them together into a space ship. I just thought I'd share

Recently picked up a copy of The Years Best Sci-fi #29 and # 30 edited by Gardner Dozois. These I have to say a an excellent series of books! A great cross section of sci-fi with enough meat and potatoes ideas in the stories to make them well worth reading. A great find. Some great stories in...

OK! It is fixed. Hopefully I can get some more responses from this. :)

Recently I found another author release a book, which has the uncanny similarity to the premise which I have been working on approximately the last two years. It is in the zone of Uncanny Valley which makes me feel so much hate. I don't want to hate the guy but it's like having something you...

I was looking at Dava Newman's Biosuit and thought that suits could be cooler and have much more utility than modern designs. There are many new technologies that can be applied to suit designs now a days. There is heat, energy, and cooling, that the suit would need to do.

I had an idea for one of my books, maybe someone could help me with it? The idea was Spacesuits which have a special two-way material which could function as both insulation, on one side, and a heat absorber on the other. Sort of like a living plant, the suit could collect all the energy of...

I created a survey for fun, to see what kind of stuff people like. I am looking to build a greater consistency in the sci-fi and fantasy market and wanted to see if people like the current ebook offerings on the market. I can send people the results if they send me an email request. Take the...

Working on a scientific zodiac based in decades. Just for the heck of it! I am still working on it, but here is a rough! :) Sorry for the caps :( 00. SOCIAL / EXPLORATION - 1800, 1900, 2000 10. CARS / MACHINES - 1810, 1910, 2010 20. INDUSTRIAL - 1820, 1920, 2020 30. ROBOTS - 1830, 1930, 2030...

Interesting comments. Hear say perhaps? There are a lot more movies and shows as you mention. Yet why do the market reports dictate differently? A Conspiracy? Or lack or creditable sources? Or just a temporary fluctuation in the market? It would be interesting to see a graph/chart with how well...

Has Science Gone Too Far? I was doing research on the science fiction market for a book I am writing, and saw these two articles: Why Do People Not Read Science Fiction? Reading from only one side of the brain by Carol Pinchefsky - Intergalactic Medicine Show Why Science Fiction Is Dying &...

Hey people, aliens, and other strange beings, I just found out there is a kickstarter/indiegogo campaign to launch a science fiction museum in Washington DC. Donate now and get your name on the wall! :D I for one want to see scifi continue and flourish. :) There is only 17 days left so donate...

That's the thing. No... I only see report. :P

Opps! How do you edit a previous post? Well it's not in my world per se, it's just things I considered with scanning forms of teleportation. In the world I am creating teleportation is still analogue, not digital as to be able to scan all your cells in the right order is a hard thing to do...

For those who want to release their inner scientist, check out SpaceChem. I was never really into puzzlers but this one really got my attention. There is nothing like figuring out ways to connecting molecules! Totally cool! Check it out!
