Space, Time & Everything 1 When we talk of spatial dimensions, we often talk of them as if they are separate concepts in their own right. Draw a line. Yep, that’s one dimension. Now draw a square. Yeah, that’s two dimensions. Build a cube from the paper. Wow, that’s three dimensions. Then people start talking about the possibility of a fourth dimension, perhaps even more. Yet, by looking at them as separate concepts, I believe we are looking at them the wrong way. Consider on

Watch the trailer: My Books on Amazon The gods want their worlds to be perfect. But what is perfect? The gods begin constructing their third world. The God of Everything is happy with their success so far. The God of Almost Everything is worried about the actions of the AI. The God of Myth hopes the others won’t tamper too much with her story. Dane still wants to complete his quest and become the greatest avatar ever, but he’s becoming more frustrated with the manipulati

The Imagination The Thinking Process 4 What is imagination? Wikipedia defines it as the mental capacity to form images, sensations or concepts that are not present to the senses, acting as the foundation for creativity, problem solving and empathy. Other definitions are very similar – a glorious form of speculative thought, a form of cognitive skill, etc. That probably sums up the concept as we think of it, but what if it’s more than that? When we think about imagination, we

What are the major problems in the world today? How’s this for a list? They’re not in any particular order. · Israel – No, I don’t mean the Jewish people or Judaism the religion. · America – And I don’t just mean Trump. · The ‘natural’ environment, or rather, our effect on it. · The Russia/Ukraine war – In this case, you could possibly just put ‘Putin’. · The media, including the internet. · Bigotry in all its forms. ·

Finally it's here. Oh, damn! Finally it's here. This book has been a story in itself. Firstly I signed too early with ORP who had published my first 4 books. I was still editing and wasn't satisfied. I just felt something wasn't quite right but couldn't work out what it was. Then it suddenly dawned on me. The book that was supposed to be the final book in the trilogy would be much better as 2 books. I knew exactly where it needed to be split. So the book I was writing was sud

The Square Peg 2. Perhaps one of the most basic ways that writers vary from each other is simply why they write. It is easy to say, ‘to write that book’, but why ‘that book’? What are you trying to achieve? Many writers develop a love for writing at an early age, as teenagers or even younger, and I often hear other writers talk about their love for writing. That may be their primary reason for writing. I have never had a GREAT love for writing. Yes, I enjoy it. I wouldn’t do

The Brain The Thinking Process 2 The brain is truly incredible. Even now, I think we don’t truly appreciate just how incredible it is. On the other hand, I believe we often give it credit for things it doesn’t actually do. Unfortunately, that contradiction is probably an example of how our human brain works. Yes, there are some animals without brains, such as jellyfish, sponges, starfish, etc. Yet, surely, the main feature that separates most animals from other life forms i

Space, Time and Stuff 2. Stephen Hawkings supposedly said that soon we will know the answer to everything, or something like that. I have the utmost respect for Stephen as one of our greatest ever scientists, but my immediate response on hearing, or seeing, those words was to ask, ‘How can we ever know the answer to everything before we know what everything is?’ Now, there are lots of interpretations of the meaning of ‘everything’ simply depending on what we’re talking about—

The Thinking Process 1 Intelligence Like most people, I learnt about the different aspects of ‘being human’ many years ago. I never really questioned them much at the time. The aspects were the physical, the emotional, the intellectual, and the spiritual (or soul). There may have even been a fifth that I’ve forgotten. Personally, these days, I only believe in the physical and the emotional. While many people will argue about the idea of not including the spiritual, I think th
