Ms. President - vs Mr. President

The two most troublesome nations in the world today, threatening world peace and democracy, are headed by men, dictators at that.

Imagine if a woman was in charge of Russia or the United States?

This is not to say that all female leaders are better than male ones, but let's face the facts.

99% of all wars are started by men.

All dictators in the world today, the ones threatening the world (Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, etc.) are men.

Roughly 10% of national leadership roles in the world are held by women, the rest, are men.

If the power structure, particularly in the most influential nations, were shifted to women, do you really think we would have warmongering, outright and insane destruction of political and commercial alliances, violations of human rights, mass deportations, and all the other insanities we see - or would the innate female maternal nature dominate and would they lean towards creating peaceful relationships, nurturing bonds and alliances?

As I said, this is not to say that women are better than men, but one thing is for certain, history is testimony to the fact that the imbalance of power is and always has been destructive to world order - and that has never been more true than today.

I know, the very idea of a woman President in the United States probably sends shivers up the spines of fundamentalist Republicans who envision The Handmaid's Tale utopic society, where men are completely in charge and where women are regressed to being baby-makers and compliant home-care-takers - subservient to men; and certainly in Russia, the oligarchs and old-school Stalinist clubbers would heave up their vodka and caviar at the very mention of turning the reins over to a woman, because of their love affair with Czars and dictators over the past century.

It's time to shift that power and let women in the door, because I truly believe that we need some people at the helm who want to nurture life and alliances, not destroy them.

A message from space...or is it?

V.O.I.C.E. - The Silence is Over!

23-year-old Jacob Dekker and his partner and secret lover, 21-year-old Jess Andersson, two of the youngest astronauts to ever man the first Mars base, discover an alien artifact hidden beneath its surface. Jess is exposed to something that puts her life at risk, sending Jacob into a flurry of action to save her. Meanwhile, Jacob receives a mysterious message from deep space - not from Earth, but from somewhere else. Jacob finds himself suddenly cast into a bizarre and unbelievable arena; on the one hand, the love of his life is fighting to survive; on the other, he has this bizarre message and whoever is behind that to contend with; and lastly, as word leaks about the alien artifact, it catalyzes another series of events as geopolitical powers try to monopolize whatever technology it contains, all of which threatens the already fragile global state of affairs. A high-concept thriller full of twists and turns, V.O.I.C.E. not only opens up the forum to the question, "Are we alone in the Universe?", it deep-dives into the sociological paradigm of our society, challenging the reader to rethink our place in the Universe.

"Compelling science fiction novel with eerie echoes of our current times!

I don’t often read science fiction novels. I enjoyed this new release by Real Laplaine, a sequel to Woman Ex. It is well written. To my untutored mind, the science aspect is rendered in a believable manner. The story centers on a young specialist and his partner on a mission on Mars which goes badly wrong, seemingly placing the life of his partner at risk. This leads to a mysterious message from space. I don’t want to offer any other details as those would include spoilers. I just found it refreshing to read a story that offers an element of hope, something we need badly these days." – Malve von Hassell, author
