December 25, 2012. Christmas. An annual Terra Firma holiday before the new year. But this was not for celebration, religious contemplation, and gifts under a green, twinkling tree in someone’s house. Humans, however, were recovering from the Wave’s devastating, life-altering effects that could get worse by the minute. Terrans appeared all over, demonized as living … Continue reading What Do We Know – Titan Spires

May Update – WDWK, Loss, and Progress
It has been months since I talked here besides the recent posts about the Mana Pool universe. Hope you all are enjoying them as much as I writing them.

Humans on Terra Firma still conflict with each other whether life exists outside the Sol system, or their planet is the universe’s center to be that naive, while fighting over who’s religion is right or wrong. But it’s no secret. The galaxy is full … Continue reading What Do We Know – The Galactic Republic
Update on My Writing
