A Hundred Ascending – new science fiction novel
One hundred strangers are abducted in beams of light and trapped inside a colossal alien sphere where time moves a hundred times faster. Guided by a rebellious AI with secrets of her own, they evolve far beyond human limits. But as a hidden countdown nears zero, they must choose: escape through time itself or watch Earth fall. Humanity’s future hinges on their impossible leap. This is the start of what I hope to be a multi-novel universe where readers will embark on an interstellar journey filled with complex, multi-racial and LGBTQ2SA+ characters and unexpected twists. The story explores themes of

This week on Royal Road, a website for posting and reviewing fiction, I’ll be starting a new journey. I’m still working on multiple writing projects, but one I will be posting will be a space opera. I’ve written at least 20-23 chapters and will post at least one chapter a week. I will have links here to Royal Road. The goal will be to continue work on the novel and at some point I will have a completed book to post on Amazon, but in the meantime, it gets me noticed, I will take in feedback from readers on what

In March 2021 my sister Kathie had been told “yes, the cancer is back, and your time is up.” So, prior to the Easter weekend, I took a few days off work to travel to Edmonton. I visited Kathie, her family, and my other two siblings: Gail and Ken (and Ken’s wife & one of their sons). It was…great. We all talked, socialized, made each other laugh, and generally had a lovely time despite knowing this would probably be the last time we were all together. Then on April 7th, I started my COVID19 journey, resulting in me spending almost

Back in the late 60s/early 70s, Zellers sold A Very Merry Christmas: Volume 3. It was an album with a lot of big name stars (at the time) and other talent belting out seasonal songs. Mom bought it, and every Christmas growing up, she pulled this one out to play it. It’s actually quite a good album, with the music arranged mid-20th Century orchestral style only slightly veering into elevator music (more on that in a moment). As we got older and left home we heard this less and less, depending on whether or not we could get home for

Giving myself a quick hour to do something creative and humorous even if it is a random (to borrow from the late comedian George Carlin) “Brain dropping”. From my “Live, Laugh, mADneSSs” line of thoughts, words of wisdom, etc. Enjoy. Heh. Heehee. HehehehahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA!

TL; DR: Found pizza, found some joy, but someone else lost theirs. Burp. This just happened a few weeks ago. I had just finished a closing shift at ye olde cannabis dispensary, it had been a week since they told us they were closing this location due to low sales (we’re unionized so most of us selected transfers to other stores). I had the weekend off and really just wanted to shower and crawl into bed so I could forget the world for 8 hours. I live in a 3 story walk-up apartment block built in the 1950s. Dragging my
