Against all odds and with far too many rewrites, I’ve launched a story on Royal Road: Phoenix Academy.
Genre: soft sci-fi, school drama, strategy, weirdly emotional power struggles.
Set in an elite girls’ academy where loyalty is weaponised, pressure is curriculum, and hierarchy is destiny.
Think: “game theory with feelings,” but also girls holding hands ominously.
I’d be grateful if you gave it a look, or passed it on if it seems your thing:

Grandpa was insistent, "Werewolves and vampires are real, we just sent them all to the moon."

I was small and curious so I asked, when no one else was paying attention, "How do you know they were sent to the moon?"

"Well, there's none on Earth and none on Mars," he pointed out, "But there's no humans settling on the moon anymore. That must mean something."

A simple probe would've answered this riddle; but for some reason they were banned...

One of the authors I follow, @clacksee, has made two of her #books free for today.

For some light-hearted #SciFi with plenty of hope, there's The Left Hand of Dog: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

If you'd rather read about old ladies getting justice by any means necessary, there's A Bit of Murder Between Friends: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

I can highly recommend both.

The Islamic Roots Of Science Fiction

You probably already knew that Islam was having a scientific golden age during Europe's middle ages, and making tons of scientific and medical discoveries. (Which is why we use words like "algebra.

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!

The last few years I picked it up again, and have published two #scifi novels so far, which you can read more about at galaxybound.com

✨#introduction ✨
Hello everyone! I'm Greg, and I'm a writer looking for a nice home and community. I’m mostly a #scifi writer (and reader/watcher) and have been working on flash fiction and poetry as of late, on my way to working up towards longer fiction.

Here’s a small sample of some recent #haiku, ranging from #fanfiction for #Cyberpunk2077 to random #photography moments. (At which I’m trying to get better, and marry it to my love of writing.)
