Guy Wheatley grew up as a military dependent living on or near military bases until age thirteen. He started junior high school in his family hometown of Gillett Arkansas where his father taught him to hunt and fish. He played football in high school and held farm related jobs during the summers throughout high school and college. He also spent one summer as deck crew on a Mississippi River tow boat.

He had been doing freelance editorial cartoons for several years and eventually

Siamese if You Please

A trillion years ago (I think we had just upgraded from sandscript) I was home from school on a spring break. My room was on the second floor of the old farm house we lived in. (Now inside the city limits) My sister had a Siamese cat. I’m not talking about the flat faced things that are passed off as Siamese now-a-days. I mean the old fashion Siamese like in “Lady and the Tramp.” He was Siamese if

This is book two in the series. I found it fairly easy to step into, not having read book one. But be warned, there are more books to come and the eventual ending is somewhere down the line in one of them.
This is political intrigue that literally str

Author David Gittlin takes a step sideways into a parallel dimension to explore the ethics of human - android relations. He brings us fully developed, autonomous, anthropomorphic, machines that are difficult to tell from real humans. In this book hum ...more

The book is very international in setting. Greg Golding is a black man, born in New York, raised in Jamaica where his family is from, and currently living in Scandinavia. He had been a banker living and working in New York until a bad trade deal ran ...more

Somebody has GOT to make this into a movie. I can’t imagine how many times I’ll watch it. If there is truly such a thing as “Modern NOIR“ then this is it. I gave it 5 stars because I couldn’t give it 6.
Somebody disappears, probably murdered, and we g

Demystifying Qubits by Daniel Krotov
Rate this book

This book tells you nothing about Quantum Computing. It does nothing to “Demystify” the subject. It tells you a lot about the hype surrounding it and the sky-castle dreams of those pushing it. That’s not to say it has no place in the discussion. It c ...more

I couldn’t bring myself to give the book 5 stars because I just didn’t connect with it. I’ve been cancer free since Oct. 2011. I survived, but there was a time when that seemed unlikely. I had to deal with the probability that I wasn’t going to make ...more

I didn’t really have a choice in reading this. I’d read the first book and just had to know how it ended. I’ll jump ahead to say I was very satisfied with the ending. I thought I would be simply due to the author’s style. One of the things that fasci ...more

I throughly enjoyed this story, which is odd because I dislike all of the characters.
The plot draws from international relations and gamesmanship. It adds the element of an alien race. But these guys are not too alien. They seem very familiar. In fac

Falling Into Shadow by Mike Palleschi

This is different from any other book I’ve read. It’s not your typical sword and Sorcery, Sci-Fy. Making a magic wand round and calling it a Geode doesn’t make it “science,” it’s still Sorcery.
But the characters make the story epic. Once I started re
