Creating my Own Universe

I've been thinking about creating cover art and (hopefully) book covers for some time. The big thing with this is how to go about it, I couldn't work it out and I'm quite a creative person. That was until I read this from Christoper Doll: Drawing a spaceship a day Now, while I'm not drawing a...

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Short Stories

Over the last couple of years I've written a number of short and not so short stories and trying to give them the visibility they deserve is a bit hard when they're hidden behind a menu system on my blog page. So I've put as many of them as I can find on this post and I'm going to pin it on my page. Many of them aren't finished, but you know - Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

So this is a post filled with some of those shock moments - enjoy and chip in if you can think of some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgDPi5WvC8M Star Wars - I am your Father! This...

Science Fiction Concepts – The Curse of Impatience

As usual and in no surprise to anyone how things happen in Sci-Fi films bears no resemblance (I hope) to how things would happen in a real mission.Picture the scene, long journey, excitable explorers wanting to get out and see what's there. To wait and carry out a survey is boring I mean come on...

The Heralding of Night

Nothing can stop it, darkness is coming.Swallowing the sun like the reapers cloak.Heralded not by fanfares or glory but by the cry of the owl and the fox. Peace descends as the diurnal creatures find their shelter.The night hunters begin their prowl, shrouded by the night.Dying hues are the promise of the light that it...

Blue Siren

This is my entry for August's Blog Battle - the theme or word for this month is Stable. Jenna knew she was pushing it, vibrations that normally could never be felt reverberated around the console, shaking through her body. The small Ranger's engines were pushed to beyond their operating limits, the smell of hot metal...

What’s the Energy with Matter?

If you've read the title and thinking that I've got it the wrong way around or I've gone mad, I'm sorry it is the right way around and... well let's leave the madness thing. What this is about is Eisenstein's quote about the face that all matter is basically energy. Everything is energy and that's all there...
