Believability is something I strive to achieve in my SciFi novel GOD GAMES. But while you can’t make an entire story true (guess that’s why they call it fiction), certain elements have to jibe with the reality of the world we live in. Ever notice how, in way too many cases, someone always leaves the door to the spaceship open after getting out to explore some unknown planet? I mean come on! Is that believable?…

Jungle Introduction Etiquette: Me Yahweh, You Abram!
Here’s a scene from my SciFi book GOD GAMES. This is from a chapter titled “Abram.” A little background here. Having chased Lucifer to Earth, Yahweh finds himself in a paradise like forest (later to be called Eden located in eastern Africa). But before Yahweh runs into Adam and Eve, a tall dark skinned village leader saves him from being skewered by a giant wild boar. Unable to fully decipher the elder’s verbal words and…
WARNING: The Neighboring Universe
What happens when you create a new universe? I mean, how do you interact with it? And what about the life that pops up there? Do you treat them like ants? Do you try to communicate with them? Do you try to teach them what you have learned, like a parent child relationship? Or do you consider them lesser than you, more subservient? After all, you created the environment, the elements, conditions, and physical laws that gave them life. So, are they…
How Our Universe Was Made- the true story!
So who is right? Some religious folks might say that six thousand years ago some guy (yea ladies a guy) got a bright idea to create something to keep him company. Stephen Hawkins would probably disagree favoring a 13 billion year timeline and the method of creation was more like a big bang. He didn’t say whether a boy or girl did it. Then there’s Prof. Paul Steinhardt (Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton…
Forget Selling Books. It’s Merchandising, That’s Where The Real Money Is Made!
Part of my promotion for GOD GAMES includes illustrations of the major characters of this SciFi rewrite of the greatest biblical story ever told. I’m talking about Genesis, the creation and the Garden of Eden. But in this upside down story, there’s also some provoking backdrop in that Heaven (where Earth was created) is really a tech utopia where science and technology has replaced religion. Now, not everyone is happy with this secular society, especially…
The Yahweh/Gwendolyn Entanglement, The Angry God & Recommended Good Summertime Reading
OK everyone! As we all know, almost every good movie, book or play has a love scene. So, here it is for GOD GAMES. But this one is different. It’s based on science and a saying that goes like this, behind every man stands a woman! Now, before I get nasty tweets from 50% of the global population, I’ll add that was never really the case. Rather, she stands beside him. And many times, as…
Mysterious Meanings Behind GOD GAMES Character Names
Authors put a lot of symbolism in their stories. These symbols can take many forms like a place, theme, and action. These symbols can even take the form of an odd juxtaposition of facts, background or situation to current events. For GOD GAMES, I took names from established folklore, myths and religion to create the characters, their moods and drive their crazy action. Now, using the names Yahweh and Lucifer was easy. Everyone understands the…
Pay It Forward! The Road To Successful Self-Publishing Is Paved By David & Goliath Working Together!
So, I’m planning an author’s group promotion event for June. The goal is to hook up with established and start-up authors such as myself and share our resources to attract Sci-Fi readers who might be interested in either purchasing our books or following the progress of our work on a new book and want to be one of the first to receive the finished masterpiece. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve developed a “Reader…
