Wow. This year has really vanished . Things have been interesting lately. I’ve been working on multiple projects – First, there was the Christmas Anthology that was– then there was the Anthology that wasn’t. Communications kinda fell apart and I was writing and working but I got forgotten. Yeah- that happens. So, I ended up […]

Read More 347-Valkyrie’s View: A Year Among the StarsDecember 11th, 2552 – Carrier Lizard Consociation Pilot Kat James Reporting I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how to communicate so that our enemies can’t intercept messages.

Adalgisa tried to give us insight into the mindset of the survivors, to let us know what to look for but again, we’re […]
