Patrick G. Conner's Blog: All about Thunder Valley

February 24... UK Legalizes three-person babies. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31594856

Much of what is in the books of the Thunder Valley Trilogy is simply fact. Over time, it is hard to parse which was, and which is and which might be.

The End Of The Computer talks about autonomous drones. Now we have them in increasing numbers, flying off the decks of U.S. aircraft carriers. I'm sorry that one is true.

Now the report of 3-parent babies in the UK being legalized. Apparently there are a couple of dozen of the little tikes already running around. Not exactly 'triples'. Which is too bad. But who knows how long until that happens, too. The description of triple genetic structure in The Scientists is from actual electron microscope pix.

Colleen and I just now finished the first draft of Fireside Stories From Thunder Valley. This has turned out to be a very embarrassing book for both of us. But... our lives have been what they have been, and no changing the past now.

Will start editing for a second draft as soon as I get through writing this.
