    You are UNIQUE! You are different from every person who has lived, is alive now or will live in the future. Everything you have heard, felt, tasted, seen or smelled and every experience you have had, are a part of what and who you are. No one else can lay claim to a tiny part of the uniqueness that… Read More »

Science Fiction for me is an escape from reality ... if only for a little while.

The possibilities are endless ... new worlds to explore ... new beings with new ideas. Perhaps because so much that has been written in the Sci-Fi genre hasn't happened - YET!

My inspiration for writing science fiction came when I was a patient in the hospital. I was "the patient in room 231". That's it... just another body ... no identity, no dreams and aspirations, no thoughts and ideas ... just "the patient in room 231."

Doctors and nurses would come in and ask "How are you feeling today" ... never looking me in the eye ... in fact, rarely looking at me. I don't think they ever saw the "ME" behind the patient.

As I recovered, I thought how wonderful it would be if I could touch a doctor or a nurse and they would FEEL what I was feeling. Then, with my limited vocabulary, I wouldn't have to explain that 'degree' of pain in numbers from 1 to 10. (What's with THAT anyway? is that really a way to gauge pain?)

It also occurred to me that 'Aliens' were horrible beings in most of the Science Fiction writing of today. So, I started writing my own ideas of how Aliens might be ... and here I am.
