It has been a while since I have posted to the blog, and partly it was due to trying to finish a book that I have been writing. I say partly because I certainly cannot say entirely. I am a victim to time, as are all of my fellow humans. We are only given so…
The Speculative Basement: Alternate History
Never forget the past ... it could be the basis for the next book you read!
The Speculative Basement:
nothing beats swords and lasers ... except, perhaps a laser sword ...
Speculative Basement:
Apologies for not having an edition of Speculative Basement last week, but I was a bit busy. I was in that hazy faze in which nothing but that one thing you are focusing on can get through to you. And for me that one thing was getting married! Laura and I tied the knot in a small,…

Even their movies have been spectacular, and is proving that great stories and small production companies can deliver better products than a lot of major studios. Stranger…
It’s Leap Year!!: a great reason for an e-book sale!
