Well this is a first…
Well this is a first… I just found out an alpaca ranch in New Mexico named their newest baby alpaca addition Gigi Paradox, after my novel Gigi Make Paradox (Where the Hell is Tesla? Book 3)! I certainly never expected that!

| 3.5 rounding up to 4. A whimsical creation fable told by an actual physicist, and it was pretty much what I wanted/expected, as I love both nerdy science minutia, and light, almost goofy narratives. In the end, the nerdy science stuff won out for me, ...more | |
