If you like science fiction, DAUGHTER MOON is the best thing I've ever written, or ever will write. I know my limits. It's not as good as THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE, or DUNE, or even the flawed masterpiece STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND. Sucks to be me. I rank it 4th on the Ultimate Sci-Fi Scale. (They say that novelists are even more egotistical than Hollywood Directors.) MOON is a high-tech sci-fi Matriarchy in Outer Space time-travel novel. "100 boys are not worth a woman's little finger."

In February, 2013, I unpublished all my eBooks except for DAUGHTER MOON. Everyone loves MOON; reaction to my other writing is: "Meh." [Sometime earlier this month, May, I put my eBooks back up.]

Artists only get Paid if they Go Viral

Artists only get paid if they go viral.

Sometimes not even then.

My personal take on great artists and writers is that they do it WRONG over and over until their personal Wrongness gets noticed, and proclaimed a New Form of Right. That's just my personal take.

I have no clue how to turn your personal Wrongness into a new form of Right; but I did go viral once.

“The thunderstorm she’s wearing, the clouds, the lightning flashing down her legs and the sound effects are no big deal. But the 1G rain is a serious engineering problem. For all of us, when we have experienced rain, it has been during a Direct Interface Lifetime, in subjective conditions of 1-Gravity. Lunar rain, at 1/6th Gravity, just doesn’t look real. Therefore, her dress has a hollow cylindrical 5K spin-2 graviton Field, to make the rain fall at 1G without weighing her down a metric ton. If it’s engineered right, she shouldn’t feel a bit heavier. That’s almost 6990-megawatts right there. The other 10-megawatts or so is mostly rain choreography.”

“Leslie Ann was now agonizing over a full-length Flame gown that actually appeared to be burning fire covering her lush body: cool blue flames hugging her neck, red-hot flames usually covering her breasts, fluttering orange and yellow fire hips, all down along her white-hot legs to her Bunsen burner tipped high-heel shoes.”
