Owen R. O’Neil is a physicist, a writer, an amateur historian and the descendant of a long line of engineers.

One of the last generation of Cold Warriors, he worked on topics as diverse as satellites, telecommunications, infrared semiconductors and C4ISR. He is an expert on technology projection and threat assessment, and did groundbreaking work on IW/IO before it was cool.

These days he writes, exercises a passion for photography he inherited from his father, and indulges in his two principal vices: cooking 'unhealthy' food and ferreting out exceptional but under-appreciated wines. ...more

Ryleigh Sloan us my favorite author, hands down, and this book shows why. I think it may be her deepest and most important book to date, and it's amazing. I'm not usually an audiobook person, I prefer reading to hearing narrators interpret the voices ...more

I enjoy short stories. It’s a demanding art form that can show an author’s talents in a whole new light. That said, in my reading experience, there aren’t a lot of authors that excel at both short stories and novel length works. When I saw that Rylei ...more

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can’t lick ‘em, join ‘em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wind's Twelve Quarters, Volume 1
