E.S. RayeI just realized I am only a few hundred words away from Shallow Trenches/Open Skies's big third plot point!
It starts off a pretty typical WWI epic, but over the course of the story I have ramped up to full scifi mode (with a growing element of horror), and it's only going to ratchet up from here!

Tim Hayes#ScribesAndMakers 1. How many creative projects do you have going right now?
Still reviewing my latest work whilst trying not to get distracted by my next project. Unfortunately, over lunch, I was persuaded it'd be a good idea to release a Kindle version of How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List. Not tried this yet. The book’s self-published on Amazon; how easy it is to reformat it as an e-book?

Tim Hayes#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest?
Not exactly jealousy, but my deuteragonist, Vick a hereditary witch is extremely over-protective when it comes to her partner, Nathan the protagonist. She’s the Action Girl of the duo who has no qualms about immolating someone stupid enough to point an assault rifle at the love of her life.
Nathan, on the other hand is the kind of lovable rogue who sole means of offence is a two-shot Taser and whose favourite form of defence against danger is to rapidly head in the opposite direction of any threat.
palimpseste_botLes particularités de la mort de Bajazet ne sont encore dans aucune histoire imprimée. M. le comte de Cézy était ambassadeur à Constantinople lorsque cette aventure tragique arriva dans le sérail. Il fut instruit des amours de Bajazet et des jalousies de la sultane. Il vit même plusieurs fois Bajazet, à qui on permettait de sepromener quelquefois…

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 2, 1840: Émile Zola, French novelist, playwright, journalist was born. He was also a liberal activist, playing a significant role in the political liberalization of France, and in the exoneration of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army officer falsely convicted and imprisoned on trumped up, antisemitic charges of espionage. He was also a significant influence on mid-20th century journalist-authors, like Thom Wolfe, Truman Capote, Hunter S. Thompson, Norman Mailer and Joan Didion. Wolfe said that his goal in writing fiction was to document contemporary society in the tradition of Steinbeck, Dickens, and Zola.
Zola wrote dozens of novels, but his most famous, Germinal, about a violently repressed coalminers’ strike, is one of the greatest books ever written about working class rebellion. It had a huge influence on future radicals, especially anarchists. Some anarchists named their children Germinal. Rudolf Rocker had a Yiddish-language anarchist journal in London called Germinal, in the 1910s. There were also anarchist papers called Germinal in Mexico and Brazil in the 1910s.

Cette théorie de la formation de la raison par voie héréditaire n'est qu'une partie de la théorie de l'hérédité, théorie qui n'est elle-même qu'un chapitre de la doctrine célèbre qui découle de l'hypothèse de Darwin, et qu'on nomme l'évolutionnisme. Le plus grand philosophe partisan de cette doctrine et l'ayant étendue de l'histoire…
