Alien sentient life is easily one of the most common recurring tropes in science fiction. The thought of other intelligence somewhere out there in our universe has fascinated our species for a long time, and may even have roots in our ancient ancestors competition with other humanoid species that evolved alongside us.

Selected Record: Of Oracles and Sirens Status Report These last couple weeks have been a flurry of activity! I've been switching between writing on the first draft of my second book, getting marketing posts out, and approving line edits for 'Of Oracles and Sirens'.

This was the foundational question that informed the design of the Requiem de la Lune, the ship that my book Of Oracles and Sirens is set on.

Selected Record: Of Oracles and Sirens Status Report My manuscript is officially out for line and copy editing! I'm nearing the end of this journey for Of Oracles and Sirens and I could not be more excited! That said, I am now switching gears into full-steam marketing mode. Thus, I'm making some changes to this space in what I hope will be a more valuable edition of my usual blog posts. Firstly, these posts will be on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis going forward, larg
