The Father of Modern Fantasy. Top Story - August 2023.
I was perusing the meager book selection at the local Goodwill and feeling frustrated by the abundance of abandoned and unused cook books and flashy but failing self-help books when I saw it.

Time Travel
So you've seen the movies and read the books on time travel, and most of them relate stories about entering futuristic boxes and disappearing in the blink of an eye. For the time being, this is just sci-fi, but there are ways to make time travel possible, at least theoretically. We just don't have the technology figured out yet. For starters, time travel to the future could be achieved by traveling at high speeds, but not just getting a ticket on the super highway kind of speed. This is based on Einstein's theory of special relativity, which explains that time slows down for objects that move at really high speeds.

I Finally Read an Amish Romance
Book Review: Adoring Addie By Leslie Gould Adoring Addie is a fun, light hearted Amish romance based not-so-subtly on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In some ways, the references are charming and not immediately noticeable, like when Onkel Bob says something along the lines of “They stumble that run fast”. Other times, it’s a bit forced and corny, like near the end, when Johnathan’s pain meds are left out and Addie’s mother briefly assumes that they both ended themselves, when in fact, it was a twisted misunderstanding.

MY Story Outline
Once in a while an idea comes to writers that just won't leave us alone. So I keep returning to this story. I first started it in 2013 and set it aside because I was building up poetry books and two other novels but this sci fi story remains one of my favourites. They are all my favourites. My mind is important as my body and I gave birth to them there, amongst synapses firing, normal brain operations and the magical force of imagination. I jumped ahead and wrote two other stories based on the beginnings of this one. The first fast forwarded to a set of Science Fiction short stories which I am so excited about I can barely stop writing.

Book Review: Shattered Bond by Ava Slade
Synopsis Know your enemy… Only werewolves have fated mates—until me. During a full moon, my fleabag masters earn their wolves. But everything I thought I knew about myself changes when I start shifting along with them. How could this be? I’m human. Then my fated mate is revealed to me. The worst part is, he’s the alpha of the pack, the one who’s tormented me for years. I’m fated to my enemy. And now I’m becoming one of them. When he rejects me, it crushes me. As if that weren’t painful enough, he then orders the pack to kill me, forcing me to flee. But the alpha has a way of tracking me. I’m constantly on the run until I meet Jonas, whose ego is bigger than his muscles. For refuge, we’re forced to stay with a colony of vampires who wield Shadow magic and think polka dot pajamas are all the rage. Jonas’s protection is temporary, which is fine because I despise him. Yet when I’m not thinking of how to make his life miserable, I can’t help but stare at his lips. Can I trust him? One thing’s for sure, the alpha won’t stop hunting me until either of us is dead or I’m fully bonded with another.
