Titanic…In Spaaaaaace: “Wreck of the Nebula Dream” by Veronica Scott
When Veronica Scott’s sci-fi novel, ‘Wreck of the Nebula Dream’ released in March, 2012, it came at an interesting time for me. This book is loosely based on the story of the Titanic disaster. At the time, my youngest boy was studying this in school and had become quite obsessed with the story, requiring multiple […]
Movie Night with The Dooleys: ‘The Day After Tomorrow.’
Saturday night was family movie night in the Dooley household and, being that the youngest was off on a sleepover, we decided to tackle something a little darker than our usual family fare. The timing was perfect for a good old-fashioned disaster movie and we selected ‘The Day After Tomorrow,’ which I really enjoyed the […]
Science Fiction Stuff I Am SO Ready For
It’s been an amazing run, over the last hundred years or so, of inventions and technological advancements. Even so, there are a few things I am impatiently awaiting. 1.

Coming Soon from Carina Press..
My second sci fi novella from Carina Press will be released soon: September 24th, 2012. I’m currently suffering from pre-release jitters (is it just me that experiences this?) Once release day hits and it’s out there in the world, I’ll be fine. T minus seven days until I get my mental health back and I’ll […]
