science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Most Realistic Alien Species in Sci-Fi
It doesn't take much to see how scientific discoveries have inspired sci-fi authors to create new worlds. Many famous science fiction authors wondered what life would be like on another planet after seeing the lunar landing. Others gained inspiration from seeing robots being made. Even more may have wondered what kind of biology aliens would have—and how it'd interact with ours.

Eudon
Those warm depths glow beneath the ancient sun, pouring dapples through the thick currents and over the rich crimson seabed. Ochre tides of shifting life hung above the darkness, dancing like flecks of rusty jewel. Poor living things, all mourning the blood in their veins as the boiling ocean turned them like a great vat of ziti. Breathing things, bubble-touchers that clung to the traces of oxygen with desperate gills and restless frills. The young planet churned about herself, heaving with early yawns and unfurling pregnancy.

Dawn of the Dugongs
I was in the field that morning I do remember, and my mother called from the open foyer, telling me that breakfast was ready. I always liked to leave the house earlier to prepare myself for the work of the day. When I was younger, my dad would get up in the earliest hour of the mornings to ready the horses for work. Ever since the accident, however, I found myself taking up the slack of the rope he had been forced to let slip.

YA Dystopian Books
So, I love to read. I'm probably the biggest book nerd I've ever met, and I've met a lot of people - meaning, hot damn do I ever have an addiction. I'll read anything I can get my hands on, mostly teen fiction mind you, because let's face it, YA is a fantastic genre! And, lovely readers, do you know what types of books I love the most when it comes to YA? The Dystopian books! Especially the ones that cross over into Science-Fiction.

Mammoth Cave
High anxiety and claustrophobia have always been a part of my personal truth for as long as I can remember. When I first arrived in NYC back in 1979, I was not only overwhelmed by the scale of its buildings, bridges, and tunnels, but I was flabbergasted by the height of the skyscrapers, and the mindset of their occupants. Throughout the fourteen years of working in Seventh Ave schmatta business, I never felt comfortable riding an elevator, nor I was ever totally at peace working in a high-rise in Manhattan.
