Autumn is the spirit season. Someone once said it's when the veil between one world and another thins. A dying time, perhaps, but a sacred transition: when color and sunsets umber and burn, the light of heaven begins to stretch and days fade. After the last leaf is down, nature whispers "eternity."

How about some end-of-summer flowers?
That'll make you feel better.

Not for nothing, I also just just uploaded an 'Author's Profile' vid featuring some Q&A's about 'EON:Part 1' (Peregrine and Destructor).

You can find that one on the nav bar by clicking on 'Novels,' then scrolling down to the bottom of the page and playing the embedded mp4.

What's up Bluesky Crew!

I've been working hard on the sci-fi sequel; it's been a ton of fun. Should have the full manuscript completed very soon. Soo... I decided to go ahead and release an early chapter on my author's page.

Check it out!

But if they someday go back and find razorlice and slime molds squishing around down there, well, that really would be something!

Called it! 🤯

When I wrote 'Eon: Part 1' Dawn had just visited Ceres and new data was pouring in. I scoured the public info, fantasizing its having a frozen, briny subsurface of rocky caves.

Today updated studies are confirming this true! (Lucky guess I guess)

NASA Researchers Show How Ceres Could Have Once Been Habitable

The dwarf planet is cold now, but new research paints a picture of Ceres hosting a deep, long-lived energy source that may have maintained habitable conditions in the past.

I enjoy lambasting billionaires, is that a problem with anyone?

Sonification is such a cool method to interpolate data in a different way. Making 'music' out of info: 💯 Plus, it totally conjures up a super spooky/spacey vibe, and is just objectively awesome.

"Hot Blob" sounds like a band name, no?

I think the question here, as raised by this article, is how is it remotely possible a billion year old mountain range hasn't weathered away to dust by now?

I guess the answer is, it has, and then it rose from the dust.

Hot blob beneath Appalachians formed when Greenland split from North America — and it's heading to New York

A hot blob currently beneath the Appalachians may have peeled off from Greenland around 80 million years ago and moved to where it is today at a rate of 12 miles per million years, scientists have fou...

I really wish humanity could evolve some, just for the sake of our own shared future. The old, violent ways are not what we're gonna need for our future survival.
We need new ways. Better ones.

Genocide is never okay.

Summer, as a season, is actually my jam. The whole world is swarming, green and buzzing and vibrant. It's hot, for sure, but that heat draws up the life from the ground: in water clouds, heat shimmer, vim and passion and light. Now is the time when everything's alive...
Summer is never boring.
