My First Nonfiction Piece is Out, It Gets Personal AF, and It's Free to Read!

 After nearly a decade of being a published fiction author, I have finally gotten my first piece of paid nonfiction published!!! Previously I'd only written one nonfiction essay as an introduction to my 2013 anthology Blood Type: An Anthology of Vampire Science Fiction On the Cutting Edge, and a couple of short political pieces for nonpaying websites that have long since disappeared with the dusts

Quotes by Robert S. Wilson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Because unless you’re actively bleeding, and sometimes even then, you’ve probably got something more to give.”
Robert S. Wilson, Ashes and Entropy

“My grandfather, a small but fat man who resembles a walking roly-poly, may or may not accompany her. He doesn’t recall that he died many years ago.  I remind him sometimes, at which points he sits down in an old easy chair in the living room and stares at the hutch where his television used to be.”
Robert S. Wilson, Ashes and Entropy

“I realized what it was about her that seemed so different now: her skin was barely thick enough to contain a human soul. And underneath she was all flesh, no blood. Pulseless meat on a butcher’s block. One of those preserved cadavers propped up in a science exhibit, calf muscles forever engaged, a display of the naked wonder of the human body at full gallop.”
Robert S. Wilson, Ashes and Entropy

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

“There were secrets there, the secrets of the ether all mankind is born from; of the blackness that holds our oldest memories captive.”
Bryan Hall, The Vagrant

“It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out.”
Carl Sagan

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
