Clean Water and the Future of Power #Jakkattu

What we drink and how we drink it is something we take for granted in the modern age. But regardless of your beliefs about Global Warming (it’s real) or Over Population (it’s a problem), we know the human body needs water.  Without it, we will die.  We can live longer without food or protein or any kind of nutrition than we can without water.  For a long time, the history of the world and many cultures was dictated by water (check out Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind by Brian Fagan) a...

Writing the book of my dreams – #SciFi #NewRelease The Jakkattu Vector by PK Tyler

Today is the day that an idea which took root in my mind three years ago comes to life.What if humans aren’t the good guys? I’ve spent my life reading, and loving, science fiction. Most of the time humans are on the side of good, and on the rare occasion we aren’t (see Ender’s Game) our position is written as justifiable because humans simply must survive. But what if human survival is in itself the problem?

From that idea came a character, Sabaal. An alien prisoner, born into a world where h...

Oh America, it’s not me, it’s you.

America, I’m sad to say, I’m going to have to put our relationship on a hold, take a break if you will. I just need some space to sort out my feelings on a few things, really check in with who I am as a person. I know you don’t mean to hurt me, and that some of the things you’ve been saying aren’t what you mean deep down, that it’s just an expression of your own frustration and pain. I hope you can find a way to heal. I hope the decisions you’ve made can bring you some peace or at least some...

Dear Men, A #Feminist Love Letter

Dear Men,

Many of you are feeling insecure these days. The elections has brought out a lot of insecurities and worries, and even some concerns about what it is to be a man. I want to reassure you that you are still needed and still loved.

In fact, despite being a raging feminist (I believe the MRA refers to women like me as “hairy vag-es”) I like men who can fix things. In fact, just now, I was switching the laundry and the SEXIEST thing happened. My husband and changed the direction the drye...

#WomenofSciFi – Interview with K.N. Lee

P.K. Tyler –You are quite a prolific writer and have published a number of novels. For readers who aren’t familiar with you, what 3 of your books would you hope they pick up first and why?
K.N. Lee –Great question. It’s also a very difficult one for me! I’d have to say, Rise of the Flame, Netherworld, and Academia of the Beast. They are all series starters and are different genres.

PKT-You describe yourself as a fantasy and dark poetry writer. Since we’re hosting a science fiction series...
