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 .

The view as I write

Just a little peek inside my writing studio (and what I'm working on, too!). Proxima Centauri will be out in a few weeks. It releases on August 16th, and you can pre-order it on Amazon today ! Behind my monitor, you see three shots I took of the solar eclipse from August, 2017. Closeups of those three shots -- sunspots, solar prominences and then the diamond ring effect -- are below. And here's the camera that took those gorgeous photos: my trusty Nikon D750. Love that thing! On that day, I used a 200mm prime with a 2x teleconverter. And, of course, the solar filter to keep from frying one of my favorite toys. We flew out to a few airports along the way to scout the perfect location. Yes, that actually is a roll of paper towels behind my head. And if I look hot—well, I was. It was in the high 90s that day. The view on our way back was spectacular. Loved the reflection of the sun and clouds in the winding river below. Happy reading, and ...

ANNOUNCEMENT: New Project, New Series!

Hi all, it's been a while since I've updated here, and that's because I've been working on world-building for an entirely new universe. Coming sometime this year, I'm launching the Biogenesis War™series, published through Wooden Pen Press. I have a new Facebook page for my non-Aeon 14 books. I'd love for you to come by and visit! You can like my author page, LL Richman to be updated on all the latest news (or click on the image below to be taken there). Or, you can join my mailing list by clicking here . What's she working on now? Well, to be honest, good world-building, based on solid science (and math! Yes, MATH!) takes time. You also have to consider the governments involved, the cultures, the geographic locations, the religious beliefs, the economic tensions.... All the things. It usually takes me three months to write a book, from concept to publication. However, that's with an established universe handed to me, all nicely ...

Do you have your boarding pass to Mars yet?

NASA's offering boarding passes to Mars. Are you ready to sign up? July, 2020 marks the launch of the next Mars Rover mission. This mission will address high-priority science goals for Mars exploration, and will hopefully answer key questions about the potential for life on Mars. The mission will both seek signs of habitable conditions on Mars in the ancient past, as well as search for signs of past microbial life. More than 5 million people have submitted their names to be included in the next Rover mission. If you're interested in adding yours to the list, go to NASA's landing site to submit your information for review . You'll get the opportunity to download your very own boarding pass, as well as begin to rack up some serious Frequent Flyer points. You can also learn more about the goals of the mission, and read the mission overview in some of the links at the top of NASA's page. Kudos to the space agency's marketing team for a truly enga...
