Through the Future Lens: Tomorrow’s Sports
Sports—all kinds of physical and mental competition—have been an important part of every society recorded almost as far back as our history can reach. It stands to reason that the future would also have its share of sports and popular competitions. A look around at a lot of science fiction shows that other writers include […]
Through the Future Lens: Food
Food in the future has always been a popular source of speculation. Whether they imagine replicator-style units in Star Trek, plates of alien seaweed teeming with live insects in Titan AE, meal ‘pills’, tasteless rations, meat vats, yeast farms, and more, people have come up with as many visions of what food will be like […]
Through the Future Lens: Illness & Injury
For us, one of the fun things about science fiction is imagining how life will be better in the far future. In our stories set in the Pandora Project universe, we’ve dreamt of a world where cures have been found for most serious illnesses, where doctors can cure cancer and regrow organs—even whole limbs, given […]
Time to Make the Donuts: Finished!
First, there’s the thrill of being done. Accomplishing anything we set out to do always gets a gold star. And then there’s the chance to look over the finished product for the first time. Until it’s complete, it’s hard to see the whole picture. It’s a good feeling to look at the first draft for […]
Time to Make the Donuts: The Romance Plot
We are well underway with our latest Pandora Project story. When it came to deciding what our couple would be like and the kind of romantic adventure they’d have in our story, we considered what we’ve written in the past for this setting. It’s mostly about new couples, attraction and even love at first sight. […]
Time to Make the Donuts: The Characters
When last we posted, we were working on the setting for a new short story. We decided to set it within the Pandora Project universe, but outside the project proper. The story will not take place on the Auriga or Pandora, and won’t affect the overall plot of the novel series—but it may offer additional […]
Time to Make the Donuts: The Setting
Over the next month, we’re going to be writing a new short story for an upcoming science fiction and science fiction romance anthology. We’re inviting you to join us for the ride. Though every story is different, in this case, the first step was to decide the setting. We immediately knew we wanted to set […]
Spot the Future
When Anah was a kid at camp, she used to go out at night with her friends and search the sky for satellites. Far up north in Canada, there were a few that looped low enough to be seen as silver streaks moving through the night. Several years ago, Dianne went to an Iridium Watch […]
The Year to Come
2013 is here! For us, 2012 was a rough year. A job change, going back to school, and a whole host of other issues slowed us down to a crawl. While those issues aren’t gone, the new year has brought us new motivation to push through, and we have lots of fun plans in store! […]
2012 Year in Review
The authors and hosts of Contact-Infinite Futures all have SF or SFR books from Carina Press. So, I thought I’d use my last post of the year to list our books published in 2012. I’m honored to be among this interesting, intelligent, fun and creative group of authors. – J.L. Hilton Cathy Pegau Caught in […]
