Back to Kenneth G Bennett and The Gaia Wars

HOW A NASA SCIENTIST’S THEORY INSPIRED A PARANORMAL THRILLER The Gaia Wars is fiction, but it was inspired—at least in part—by The Gaia Hypothesis.

A vast, “super-organism.” I read an article about Lovelock’s theory a few years back [...]

Ties to the Blood Moon by Robin P Waldrop

I was fortunate enough to win a copy of TIES TO THE BLOOD MOON recently and although it’s not my typical read of choice I am glad I was able to read it. Robin has a way with plot and making you wonder just what will be happening next; a perfect example is how she [...]
