When a Good Space Flight Goes Sideways
Doc is known for doing the impossible, but she runs into some very unique challenges in Girl Gone Nova. Creating a character who is so dangerous and smart (or having that character appear inside your head…) created a lot of challenges for me. I vowed that, going forward, I wouldn’t create anyone with a higher IQ than…

Her Spider Sense Went Nuts
This week, Sara begins to realize how much trouble she is in. Is it awful to admit I loved getting her in trouble? To be fair, Sara is really good at getting herself out of tight spots, but this one… “Henderson? This is Donovan.” Crackling silence. “Captain?” Okay, not good, but she’d been in some…

Signs of Alien Life?
I’m still working on Maestra Rising, so I thought I go a little scientific today. As you know, here on this blog We Believe. Because believing is so much more fun than not believing. I read a couple of articles about strange space objects, one that passed through our system and one that stuck around:…

How About Some Area 51 Conspiracy Theories?
Area 51 proved to be one of the worst kept secrets ever—a hush-hush air force base that everybody knew about. Then, in 2013, the federal government finally owned up to the base’s existence. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request the CIA declassified a report titled Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The…
