8 #SciFi Disaster Tales I’ve Enjoyed

Note: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record…

I’ve always enjoyed a good disaster yarn, in any setting. And April is the 109th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, which is probably one of the most famous real life disasters, so I’m in the mood to talk about some science-fiction disaster tales. These are “hard” sci-fi for the most part, so there may not be any romance or just romantic elements and there’s no happy ending guaranteed, but when I’m in the right mood, I don’t mind skipp...

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...
