Well, I did it again: led the Seven-Sentence Short Story workshop (created by science fiction and fantasy author James van Pelt) at a writing conference, this time, Wordbridge in Lethbridge, Alberta. Here’s the story I …
It’s time for this year’s Kickstarter to fund Shapers of Worlds Volume V, the fifth in the series of anthologies featuring science fiction and fantasy by authors who were guests on my Aurora Award-winning podcast, The …
It takes money to publish books, and most of that money flows out the door before the book is released and sales begin, so my publishing company, Shadowpaw Press, is turning to Crowdfundr to help …
Shapers of Worlds Volume IV, the fourth anthology featuring authors who were guests on my podcast, The Worldshapers, is now available everywhere, including directly from Shadowpaw Press. Here’s a handy universal URL with links to …
My publishing company, Shadowpaw Press, has three great titles coming out in the first two months of 2024, all of them science fiction or fantasy. The first two, The Good Soldier by Nir Yaniv and …
Here’s another seven-sentence short story! I ran the workshop again at Ganbatte, an anime convention in Saskatoon. It went well, and here’s the one I created, again with the instructions, created by noted SF short-story …

Canadians provide new Einstein solutions
This sounds really interesting:
The new solutions may also add a better understanding of tachyons in String Theory. Tachyons correspond to unstable higher energy states in String Theory. Clarkson and Mann’s solutions are perturbatively the lowest-energy states in their asymptotic class, meaning that the two may have found what could possibly be the ground state for all solitons of this type. Maldecena and Lin conjecture that orbifold solutions in String Theory could decay into these soliton states as tachyons condense. The new Einstein solutions provide a look at how a string structure could connect manifolds of differing topology.
Just one question…anybody know what it means?
