There could be some promotion involved here and I will not apologize for it. It has to happen some time. If this will unduly bother you and send you into rages of indignation rest assured you have options. 1) Avert your eyes and scroll down to the next post. 2) Read the post and embrace it. 3) Go into a rage and send me hate mail, douche comments and complain to your minions and cronies.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING AMERICA!
It had slipped my mind that the festive season is upon us. I’ve been far too engrossed in aliens and feathers probably. Zimbabwe’s people are mostly very poor. Poor enough to earn a wage that will purchase six or seven items for the entire month for their families, that’s if they have a job at all, so I personally don’t have big Christmas bashes anymore. We still have a special day, only with not too much. It just doesn’t seem right for here and now. It’s nicer for me to put a smile on the dial of a child that would appreciate a plate of hot food quite a lot more than an expensive toy.
Not that I’ve got anything against big Christmas bashes, I’ve had a good few in my time. We still have a tree and all the lovely trimmings on the day, and my…

I and several other authors have joined numerous groups on facebook in an effort to not always be promoting to other authors. It really is a shame when spam occurs because someone decides to promote ‘handbags’ on the Babylon 5 group page.
When a person posts the review of an author’s work without a link to purchase in a literary group how is that spam? It isn’t.
How many believe that groups pushing for development of a segment of science should embrace literature that promotes their science? All of your hands should be raised.

Another fabulous installment of thought which I have enjoyed from Jo Robinson.
How far is too far? As far as science fiction is concerned, that is. Right now I’m asking myself whether or not the chicken has to go. This NaNoWriMo has definitely brought out some unusual thoughts and ideas in me. Not necessarily unusual for me to be thinking, to be truthful, but taking into consideration my usually pretty serious writing style, completely out of the ballpark.
Possibly because of my feathery fiasco of a day yesterday, a being totally resembling an earth chicken, only very much larger, with the voice of Morgan Freeman, and clearly super intelligent, taking into account that he is studying a spacetime rift with a view to repairing it, arrived front and centre in Shadow People. Going with the spirit in which I’m participating in this event, I allowed him in to have his say.
Unfortunately, I just can’t take him seriously yet. His character is…

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Christopher Jones over at Trek.fm. During that conversation, we discussed That Which Divides, which at the time was still minty-fresh, along with a few other Trek and writing-related topics.
Now, Christopher and his partner in crime, Matthew Rushing, have launched a new podcast under the Trek.fm banner, called Literary Treks. Their aim with this show is to turn the spotlight on the various Star Trek fiction, be they novels, comics, and so on. I was asked to be a part of their inaugural installment, and over the course of an hour or so we talk about my recently published novella In Tempest’s Wake as well as my experiences writing and collaborating for the Star Trek: Vanguard novel series. As you may recall, I have something of a soft spot for those books.
We also cover ground…

From an outstanding young lady, who I am close to in age of mind, in the exotic country of Zimbabwe. Enjoy.
Thank you to Joss Landry, author of Mirror Deep for inviting me to participate in this Blog Hop, or Para Blog hop as she so beautifully names it, to help spread the news of the upcoming launch of my book, African Me & Satellite TV. Go and have a look at her lovely description of the word Para, “as in friends walking the same path, lending each other a hand along the way”.
I would like to introduce author Kenneth Wayne, hailing from the West Coast of the United States, he has spent the last few decades in Asia. As well as being the founder of The Electronic Text And Literature Cloud, he has penned five novels, textbooks, and dozens of stories. He is an inspiration to those of us so newly on the writing road. It is…
