The midwest has gorgeous sunsets, don't you think?

Of course Muse1 is being a bit judgey about the whole "I'm taking a day away from the computer to fly" thing....

(He was also a bit judgey about the ending of the book, too, but I digress... ;-)

To mollify him, I wore my cat-themed aviator tee.
If you're not familiar with the NATO phonetic alphabet we use to communicate, here's what the t-shirt says — and what it means:

"Mike Echo Oscar Whiskey. I repeat, Mike Echo Oscar Whiskey. How do you copy? Over."

Mike Echo Oscar Whiskey are the callsigns for the letters M E O W .

Two Jethros, A Jim Brown, and an Ella Fitzgerald

What the what?!? If you're a fan of the Big Heist, you might recognize the reference. If you're not, no worries; we've got your decoder ring right here. The subject line's from the movie, Ocean's Eleven . In one of the key scenes of the movie, George Clooney tries to sell Brad Pitt on a casino heist. When he asks Brad what he thinks it'll take to pull a job like that, Brad's famous rejoinder is: "off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever." Okay, but what does this have to do with Aeon 14 and the next Enfield Genesis book? Turns out that Shannon's a big fan of old-Earth 2D vids, especially ones like Ocean's Eleven, Inside Man, A Fish Called Wanda, and The Usual Suspects. Good thing, too. Because all of her expertise with the con game will serve her well as she embarks on her first field miss...

So what in the suns is up with Betelgeuse anyway?

Hi all, you might have caught something in the news recently about a little star in the Orion nebula that shines in the winter sky in our northern hemisphere. It's that star that hangs out around Orion's left shoulder: Betelgeuse. You see, the star's been dimming, and it's caused quite a stir in astronomy circles as they try to deduce why. When news outlets caught wind of it, tons of headlines erupted with speculation it was going nova. If you do see articles claiming Betelgeuse is going to go nova soon, please know it's not necessarily true. The truth is, we just don't know. We're observing and taking data. Spectroscopy has actually been trending to a brighter relative intensity since December, as seen here. That said, there's still a very interesting dip at the 7400 Angstrom wavelength! Only time will tell ... although we'll have enough warning to be able to let you know in advance. Then it'll light up the sky sp...

Sirius: On Sale!

How does one sneak into a foreign nation and rescue the oppressed? Very carefully. Those who colonized the binary star system of Sirius pulled a bait-and-switch on their colonists. The Hegemony offered transportation, food, and shelter for those who could not afford it. In exchange, the new colonists agreed to work off the expense of their passage. But the Hegemony has no intention of setting them free. Hidden in the fine print Generations later, the Hegemony is still selling indentured servitude as a convenient fiction for slavery — and they have no intention of ever letting the Noctus go free. Not only that, but those in power are taking it to an entirely different level. It's time for this to end That's where Task Force Phantom Blade comes in. Jason and the crew of the Avon Vale partner with an underground railroad to rescue the oppressed, in Sirius , the fifth and final book in this story arc , available now on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. SIR...
