I always ask what seems more natural, a narration or a conversation? Who is the information for? To help the reader or the characters.

Tony's Review of the Inconvenient Sister The Inconvenient Sister by Jennifer Reinoehl is a charming Christian historical romance set in 1742 London, blending witty banter, social reform themes, and a heartfelt love story. The novel follows B...

Not my normal fare to be sure, still a good read for a romance. Judged on that it is a 5-star read.

Sub-sub genre yea, but it does have plausible science in it, some of which we are doing to a small degree now. Still, I do like what he does in this book. But yes, it's not classic Sci Fi.

Tony's Review of Jurassic Park Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is a sharp, controlled piece of science fiction that uses dinosaurs as spectacle but never forgets that its real subject is human arrogance. This is not just a story ...

One of the few books where the movie is not a letdown to readers imo. While the book is much more serious, the movie is still great also. 5 Star-read and a great Sci Fi work.

Why you can't tie knots in four dimensions We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a bigger kind of space? Is it "space-time," the popular idea which emerged from...

Book/science fact Fridays! This is something to nerd out on. This is one of the best primers on dimensional space I have ever seen outside a textbook/lecture. Read it, you will be better educated for it. Trust me.

I am glad it was me. The error was a large one. I got so involved in story line I did not think about what it broke lol. This is what I get for gen outlines, but I do like how they allow you to follow something that pops up. The adventure of writing and the feeling you discovered not invented.

You have to love when you find, and thank the gods I found it lol. A lore violation of your own fucking ideas. That will make you retcon 6 chapters of your own fraking BS lol.

Tony's Review of The Strange High House in the Mist The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft is a quieter, more reflective piece than most of his work, trading outright terror for something closer to awe. It still carries that sense of the...

This is an interesting piece by Lovecraft, early stuff. Was publish in Weird Tales. Short read, and you see a lot of this come back later. 4 Star read for me.

Hubble identifies a near-invisible galaxy that may be 99% dark matter In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies remains nearly invisible—low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark...

Book/science fact Fridays! Mark this, should this bear fruit it would be major for the standard model. Dark matter so far is mostly assumed to be around. Maybe we have finally found some.

This is a disturbing even if very short story. It is a 4 star read for me as it feels a bit rushed at the end. Still, it does hit. I great short read. Give it a try.
