GOD GAMES SciFi BOOK LAUNCHED TODAY!
Today is a special day! GOD GAMES, my first FOUR (count’em FOUR) star rated Science Fiction book launched on Amazon/GoodReads. Those stars were hard earned with book reviewers’ quotes like “thought-provoking science fiction story;” and “a well-executed story with much to offer;” and “author includes a fascinating array of futuristic technology: full body 3D printers, soul storage devices, satellites that can affectively teleport you from one place to another;” and “the storyline is fast-paced […]…
Judge Jehoel and the Cherubim Commander- Playing Card
In GOD GAMES, all the characters are named after biblical angels, although I did take some liberties as is the norm in SciFi. In general, I used an angel’s name whose description came close to matching the trait of a particular character. Each playing card features two main GOD GAMES characters reflecting their role in the book and their relationship to each other. Check out this blog post for more information on how I named…
Don’t Touch That!
As I said in earlier posts, believability is one of the three most important things for successful SciFi writing. The most important of which is believability. Put yourself in the reader’s position. It doesn’t matter what genre. You got to think that what the person is doing in the story is something you might do in the same situation. Or better still, is it something that makes common sense?

It’s been a while since my last post. But been busy preparing GOD GAMES for a December 2021 eBook launch. To that end, I’ve commissioned Jon Stubbington to create images of key GOD GAMES characters that shows their relative roles in the story. Wanting to have fun with the book title, I decided to present the characters as playing cards. See the post, “A New Book Cover and a Dark Side,” on how that idea…
What Technologies Do You Use or Want to Read About In Your SciFi Books?
~Seven Scientific Concepts of GOD GAMES~ The SciFi novel GOD GAMES explores the philosophical and competing aspects of an advanced scientific society with deep roots in religion and how this civilization can affect another less technically advanced culture. But driving the story line is science and technology. There isn’t time to write about them all in this post. So, I’ll just mention seven concepts with some examples in GOD GAMES. While they start out following…
Quantum Entanglement and SciFi Romance
So, in GOD GAMES, Yahweh is a geeky scientist married to Gwendolyn. Their romance is so deep you can say their relationship follows the Law of Quantum Entanglement. First discussed by Albert Einstein in 1935 then further developed by others, the Law of Quantum Entanglement basically says two separate particles, that have been properly conditioned, will know what the other knows and you can not described one without describing the other. Applied on a human…
What’s GOD GAMES about?
GOD GAMES is an upside down SciFi retelling of the greatest story ever told where a tech-utopian Heaven has sworn off religion but trouble brews as a new religious movement threatens Heaven’s peaceful society. Now, it all comes down to a secular Yahweh who must fight a losing battle of wits and brawn against an imposing evangelical Lucifer over the fate of humans discovered in a parallel universe. Yahweh must either defeat Lucifer or suffer…
