Talk Nerdy To Me: Featuring Eric R Asher
Before we had “Revenge of the Fallen”, “Dark of the Moon”, and “Age of Extinction”… they were simply “More Than Meets The Eye”… TRANSFORMERS by Eric R Asher When they killed Optimus Prime in the 1986 Transformers movie? Quite possibly the most traumatic moment of my childhood. It all started back in 1984. My parents […]
Talk Nerdy To Me: Featuring Jennifer Estep
Today’s “Nerdy” guest has a passion that I feel many of us share,  to some degree. In some tiny (or maybe NOT so tiny) nook or cranny of our homes/offices/attics… we’ve got them, we love them…  and today, author Jennifer Estep is going to share hers with us. I’ve always loved superheroes. The action, the adventure, […]
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.

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 […]
