Author of the Quantum Series, hard sci-fi. Scientist, progressive, and futurist. I post all things science and books. I feel fortunate for this brief glimpse into an amazing universe.
The founders were 18th century white male land and slave owners who wrote a document that is impossible to amend once the states are divided as they are today. Let's gather new founders and write a 21st century constitution.

I've been screaming this for years. The WHOLE problem is our abysmal, outdated, 18th century constitution. Anyone who thinks the US constitution is some sacred document created by wise men either hasn't read it or doesn't know how other countries work.

Surely some intrepid reporter is following the money trail. Right?

Here's a taste:

One of the most important mindset shifts: Your cover’s job is to signal genre, not summarize plot.
Dark background + bold serif text + spaceship → Sci-Fi
Pastel illustration + cute fonts → Rom-com
Moody figure + city skyline → Urban fantasy / thriller

Ultimately the prosecution will not be about the epstein files, we'll never see those. But it could be about the coverup. Evidence for a coverup is everywhere right now. Its the stuff we need to preserve.

Gee, after throwing this admiral under the bus, I wonder how all the other top brass will handle the next order from Hegseth or Trump?

Americans, those of us who are moral, hope Canada, Europe, and Asia will cut off ties and place economic sanctions on America. In the long run, you'd be doing us a favor.

There is no healing or coming together after Trump is gone. I, for one, want a divorce.

My guess is that's the end for that story. I'm pursuing a new story now, closer to home. Glad you enjoyed Phenomena!

It's actually my favorite book.

ACA will be killed first. Then Medicaid. Then Medicare. This is their plan. Privatize. Create more options for obscene profits.

Corrupt pardons are not valid.

8 senators caved. 37 did not. But now you're going to hate the whole party?

Cant they eat cake?

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my first five books! Now maybe you'll like Amelia, or Halie, or Adam, or even Mash?

This facility tracked Apollo capsules heading to the moon by bouncing radar off them and waiting for the return echoes. It was also prominently feature in the opening credits for the 1968 film, Ice Station Zebra. One of my favorites from childhood! Full link in the comments.
