"Melpomene Now" a contest winner
Dear Buffs,
My sci-fi flash fiction Melpomene Now is a winner of the Horizon 2040 Influence & Anarchy contest. It's the story of a family 15 years in the future each engaging with their AI-enabled Muse earpieces and awaiting M Corp's announcement of Muse's latest feature. Society will never be the same. Check it out here: https://horizon-2040.com. It will be published in the Small Wars Journal.

| Hmmm. I guess I was hoping for a little more genius in the conclusions about country people and literature. In my version, Olive would get Lyme disease and they would head back to California where they belong with some crazy stories. On the other han ...more | |

| Part 1 of this book is perfect. The writing is engaging, the breadcrumbs are dropping. It is propulsive. I'd not read the blurb, so I was not expecting any of what comes next. All I will say is that I would be very nervous to be Ms. Knoll's husband. ...more | |

The wide, fan-shaped mushrooms were sauteed lightly and served as a side dish. The main course was followed by a salad of red and green baby lettuce with dandelion greens and toasted hazelnuts.”
