HORROR 2016 - It’s too soon to tell yet, however the year
2016 shows promise for horror films. Still, it’s irritating
that Hollywood recycles the same titles, over and over again. Here’s my
short list of films (possibly) worth watching.
I write dark speculative fiction. #weirdfiction #darkfantasy #horrorfiction #scifi #postapocalypticfiction

KEPPLER MEGASTRUCTURE DISCOVERY?
KEPPLER
MEGASTRUCTURE DISCOVERY? - Kepler Telescope has identified curious dips in light
in a distant star under observation. It was speculated to be an alien
megastructure, but the story gets stranger still. Old images dating back to the
1890s show it was once noticeably brighter than it is today. This makes the
theory of comet storms unlikely due to the steady predictable pattern. A theory
surfaced about a partially collapsed megastructure constructed by a very
advanced civilization. A Dyson Sphere, a hypothetical megastructure, is a solar collector which encompasses
a star to harness its power. Such ideas are the
stuff of science fiction legend. An energy hungry alien society harnessing star
power to fuel its long-term survival. Every great story begins with
‘what if?’ … could humans have a distant alien neighbor in our cosmic
neighborhood? I have no idea.

1915 PAN PACIFIC
1915 PAN PACIFIC - All aboard! An exhibit, titled 1915 Pan
Pacific Exposition, can be seen until April 2016 at the Conservatory of Flowers
in Golden Gate Park. The display is a miniature railroad that passes through
iconic imagery of San Francisco’s yesteryear. The Pan Pacific was a World Fair held
along the north shore, to showcase reconstruction after the devastation
incurred by the 1906 earthquake. If you’re a regular visitor to my blog check
out pics from past conservatory exhibits including Chomp, Playland, Boomtown and
Butterflies. Model trains wind their way through plants and recreations; such
as the Tower of Jewels and Palace of Fine Arts; along with other features/ memorabilia.
SIDE NOTE - You can visit buildings from the exposition that still stand
in the city today such as the Palace of Fine Arts and Civic Auditorium. Another
curious fact is the Legion of Honor is a replica of the French Pavilion featured
in the Pan Pacific Exposition. If you’ve never been, a trip to the Conservatory
of Flowers is worthwhile; to take a trip into the city’s colorful past.

HOW TO (NOT) ENGAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
HOW TO (NOT) ENGAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA - This is a post for writers. When you're on social media, say
something interesting, add value and/ or join the conversation. Be silly,
controversial or disagree completely. When people write to you, respond. But
whatever you do, don’t fall into the ‘buy my book’ trap. Tweet/ post/ share
about books? Absolutely. Relentlessly spam about your book, the only one you’ve
written, over, and over, and over … again? NO! Nobody wants to read the 85th
post you just tweeted about your book. Seriously. Just don’t.
