Talk Nerdy To Me: Featuring Janice Hardy
Cheesy Movies and Me. A Love Story. By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy I don’t remember my first cheesy movie, but I’m fairly certain I saw it during Creature Feature one Saturday morning. My guess, it was Godzilla vs. Something, but whatever it was, it sparked a love affair that has lasted to this day. I love […]

Talk Nerdy to Me: Real Warp Drive?
So I was surfing the Internet this morning, you know, avoiding writing this post, when I came across this article. Holy crap, Batman.

Talk Nerdy To Me: Featuring Tee Morris
I’ve seen many interview questions that ask, “If you could hang out with one of your characters for the day, what would you do?” It’s an interesting question, because it makes you consider the people in your books as “friends”, people you would ACTUALLY spend time with. This brings up the idea of what […]
Talk Nerdy to Me: I Am Not a Mathematical Genius
One of my favorite female characters in all of science fiction is Aelliana Caylon from the Liaden series. She’s a brilliant mathematician who can do complex hyperspace equations in her head faster than a navigational computer. She also wins a spaceship at cards, because math. She has her flaws–she’s anxious and unconfident, like me sometimes–but her […]
