Why I Wrote #SciFi Wreck of the Nebula Dream (“Titanic in Space”)
Note: Portions of this blog post have been published before…
Since I was a little girl, I’ve always been fascinated by stories set during a disaster – the events, how could the characters have known or sensed what was about to happen, what do they do, what could they have done, what would I do…Growing up in Upstate New York, the closest I personally got to disaster as a child was probably digging unreinforced snow forts!
But, the family legend is that my maternal grandfather had a cousin who su...

Veronica Reviews #SciFi Movie ‘Skylines’
This post first appeared on the Amazing Stories Magazine blog…
Let me say right up front if I’d been looking for a science fiction action adventure flick to watch on a weekend afternoon, without expecting too much, then ‘Skylines’ (also known as ‘Skyline 3’) Would have been okay, here’s the C grade and let’s move on.
The problem is that it’s the third movie in a trilogy which had been a lot of fun and done some imaginative things…up till now. So let’s review. ‘Skyline’ in 2010 brought us an alie...

Why I Wrote #SciFi Novel COLONY ON FIRE
After writing the first book, COLONY UNDER SIEGE with these characters – Dr. Saffia Mandell, newly minted doctor working off her medical school bills by doing five years of government service on a remote colony and Micah Navonn, Chief Ranger of his people, who own the planet – I just really wasn’t ready to walk away from them. More plots kept coming to mind and I like these two and their world a lot.
The book is set in my Sectors scifi universe.
As I mentioned last year when explaining the first...
