Character Interview, Carryl Runderfiord, President Runderfiord Enterprises

My last interview in this series is a busy man. It took more than a little wrangling courtesy of Miss Whittager to get a few minutes chasing after him as he refused to slow down. What is your greatest fear? A little incident somewhere around a year ago reminded me of how vulnerable my nearest […]

My Impression Of VCON 41, 2016

Last year I wrote two questioning posts about my experience at VCON 40. VCON 40 and VCON 40 Revisited. Now that I have had a chance to digest my experience at VCON 41 it is time to put what I saw into words. For starters, I must say I enjoyed myself. It was a good con consisting of […]

Character Interview, Jonine Whittager, Engineer

It took some digging, but I succeeded in tracking down a bar frequented by my latest interview. Her language is, to put it mildly, a little flowery, so the answers below have been a wee bit edited in accordance to my Clean Reads policy. What is your greatest fear? Discovering all the bars are closed […]

Character Interview, Elder Roggi Exavent

  I was told Elder Roggi Exavent is too busy to speak to the likes of me. He offered me a cup of tea and all the time I needed. What is your greatest fear? I’ve lived so long and seen so much that it’s hard to talk in terms of a greatest fear, but […]

Character Interview, Lieutenant June Trynamour

After much diplomacy I have succeeded in getting a few moments to ask the second most important character in my Worlds Together series a few questions. As with my interview with Nivpul Exavent, this took place shortly before the events in Synergy Of Hopes. Given the conditions under which we talked her short replies may […]

Character Interview, Ensign Nivpul Exavent

  I caught up to the main character in my Worlds Together series shortly before the events in Synergy Of Hopes could take place and asked him the following questions. His answers were a little terse, but I’ll take what I can get.   What is your greatest fear? Never finding a love like the one […]

Wither the Audiobook

Last week I posted a list of the podcasts I presently listen to on a weekly basis. One area of the modern reading experience referred to on a increasingly regular basis is the whole world of audiobooks. As a writer I admit to having the thought of eventually releasing my works in audiobook format but […]

Podcast Mania

I have a moderately long commute to and from my bread and butter job each day. About two years ago I decided to try maximising that and other driving times by exploring to growing world of podcasts. What once was a handful of listens has now become a stable to fill my entire week. Over […]

3D Computing Part 2

My last post, Into The Land Of 3D Computing, details my first foray into the world of 3D computing and 3D printing. I have since rescaled my model and produced a demo sized model in a medium I can polish to perfection. 3dhubs came through again. Now for the tricky part. Doing the actual polish and deciding if […]

Into The Land Of 3D Computing

I have been musing over the question of how to generate professional grade images of the ship in my stories, Konhor, for some time. It is the one element missing from my cover to Synergy Of Hopes, my blog image, and even my Author Cards. My Konhor Board on Pinterest shows many of the diagrams […]
