The peculiar workings of his mind once threw out a phrase: No one knows but I, who wrote this here and why. He captured the thought, then laid the journal aside. Many sun-cycles later, he found those dust-laden notes and decided to find out what those words meant. This led him to Lanky, Jessica, and Beth. And Naga and the Iyes. And Shadow and the Ka. And ... Well, to the tale of the Warriors of the Continuum, a tale of courage, love, and hope cast in both shadow and light.

Musings on Time Travel

A myriad of tales have been told with this concept at their heart. Some provide a well-thought-out rationale or justification for the underlying time-folding mechanism, others treat it as a given in their interconnected realms, focussing purely on the characters’ responses/ actions to their jaunts across time. A constant in these speculative fiction tales is the attempt to avoid jarring inconsiste Read more of this blog post »

Roger Heath liked a quote “The only social change presented by most SF has been towards authoritarianism, the domination of ignorant masses by a powerful elite—sometimes presented as a warning, but often quite complacently. Socialism is never considered as an alternative, and democracy is quite forgotten. Military virtues are taken as ethical ones. Wealth is assumed to be a righteous goal and a personal virtue. Competitive free-enterprise capitalism is the economic destiny of the entire Galaxy. In general, American SF has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women.” Ursula K. Le Guin

Quotes by Roger P. Heath (?)

“Would we stand on faraway mountains, casually observing the ravaging of our Land, the destruction of our peoples, our loved ones destroyed before our eyes?" Naga's eyes blazed with anger. “What then? We would be left standing there on our grand mountain, tears streaming down our faces, asking how could this happen? What could I have done? Many useless questions asked by those who do not take part, who do not put themselves in the stream of history. Bystanders hoping that others will guide their future for them.”
― Roger P. Heath, Warriors of the Continuum Part One: Arrival

Roger’s Quotes

“Genre, a concept which could have served as a useful distinction of various kinds of fiction, has been degraded into a disguise for mere value-judgement. The various “genres” are now mainly commercial product-labels to make life easy for lazy readers. lazy critics, and the Sales Departments of publishers.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume Two: Outer Space, Inner Lands

“If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself - as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation - you may hate it or deify it; but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality. You have, in fact, alienated yourself.”
