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 […]
Guest Kat Cantrell: Aliens or elves?
I have a confession to make. I grew up reading science fiction and fantasy and I honestly didn’t see the difference. From Dragonlance, to Justine Dare, Robert Asprin, to Eve and Rourke, I loved it all. They both had amazing worlds, fierce battles, the hero’s (and heroine’s!) journey. Who cared whether the characters were aliens […]
Futuristic Space Sex
Now that I have everyone’s attention we can proceed with the rest of the blog. I’ll admit when Ella first asked me to guest blog, I panicked. You see, though I’ve studied critical literary analysis and dissected books through the various lenses, I tend to think in terms of emotions when I talk of plots, […]
Science Fiction Romance
Let me start where it all began. In my dad’s book collection. Like any good dad, he made sure to build my Nancy Drew collection and when the time came, Jane Austen and the Brontes, but he also gave me hard cover Stephen Kings for birthdays and Christmases when I got to my teens. But […]
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. […]
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 […]
