Fractured Fragment Friday: “Reconcilable Differences”

Memory is very interesting to me – that grey matter isn’t stone, and we all seem to remember things a bit differently from each other, and even from the ourselves of a year ago. All memory is unreliable – it takes some strength to admit this, and some work to compare multiple memories of the … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Choosing the Right Time”

I love time travel stories, especially the variety of theories on how it could work (if it could work – I’ve heard that the idea is now discredited, and should be moved from science fiction to fantasy.

Meandering Monday about Sausage

If some things would just stay buried… Have you … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Baastard’s Revenge”

For Fractured Fragment Friday, since I’m currently working on my sixth AND seventh Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire stories, I’ll continue through the series. Here’s the blurb from the fourth Herc Tom tale – “Baastard’s Revenge”: Champion of the Empire Hercules Tom thinks this is a mere diplomatic mission to Baast; little does he … Continue reading →
