FAIRNESS to be published

I just signed a contract with ROGUE PLANET PRESS to have FAIRNESS included in the anthology WARLORDS OF THE ASTEROID BELT. FAIRNESS is a different kind of science fiction tale, a story that harkens back to the morality plays of THE TWILIGHT ZONE or OUTER LIMITS. There is no twist to the ending here but it is a story about war, survivors and what remains after the carnage.

Missing Malaysian Jet Flight 370

This story has been great fodder for conspiracy theorists and those who promote the inter-dimensional lizard people theory. I like that theory considering I have published two horror stories about disappearing planes and passengers: "Flight 377" and "A Story About Flight".

Look, it either crashed or was taken. Simply and logically, it either crashed or was taken. If it crashed, debris will eventually be found. Missing planes are nothing new.

If it was taken, it will re-appear as a dirty bomb. We should all hope it crashed.

But for CNN anchor Don Lemon to speculate in the supernatural realm is ridiculous. He first said God took the plane. I guess a giant hand reached out and grabbed it. Funny enough but last night he proposed a new theory.

A Black Hole took it.

Yeah, a black hole that didn't suck up our planet let alone anything on it except for the plane; just the plane.

And CNN ratings are at an all-time high.
