Author: lloydearickson

Lloyd Earickson is the founder and author behind IGC Publishing, host to his Blood Magic short story series, now in its third season. Since he began taking his writing seriously in 2016, he has drafted three novels and dozens of short stories and novellas, including several available through IGC Publishing. A professional astronautical engineer with an insatiable curiosity, Lloyd’s writing, like his work on spacecraft, seeks to explore all regions of space and time.

On the Bondage of the Will Review

This is a piece of philosophy praised for its insight, lauded for its clarity of composition…and quite disappointing to a reader like me.

202307.11202304.01 lloydearickson Education, Writing

Always Another Story

You can submit to rejection and feedback without these being critiques of yourself, rather than just your story, because there will always be another story.

202307.06202303.11 lloydearickson Non-Fiction, Reviews

Euclid’s Elements Review

If I were ever teaching a geometry class, I would not go to McDougal-Little or Pearson or the other big-name textbook publishers, but would instead direct my students to obtain a copy of Euclid’s Elements, and build my curriculum around it.

Post Post-Scarcity

The answer to our human ills does not lie with limitless energy or a post-scarcity society.  If anywhere, it lies within us.

202306.29202302.26 lloydearickson Non-Fiction, Reviews

Luther the Reformer Review

After purporting to tell the story of “the man and his career,” Kittelson instead provides a dry, biased history that barely even scratches the surface of the complexity of Luther and his times.

202306.27202303.25 lloydearickson Education, Writing

Patterns and Poetry in Prose

With poetry remaining, for now, something of a mystery, I've turned my attention towards instead applying certain poetically derived techniques to my prose.

202306.22202302.25 lloydearickson Non-Fiction, Reviews

Grant Review

Grant lived up to my exospheric expectations for a Chernow biography in spectacular fashion, and my biggest challenge reading it was not inhaling it in three-hundred-page binges.

The Arch, the Centering, and the Keystone Release and Author’s Note

The Arch, the Center, and the Keystone is fairly different from most of what I write, befitting an experiment.

202306.15202302.13 lloydearickson Non-Fiction, Reviews

Relativity Review

Many misunderstandings exist surrounding the theories of relativity, and after you read Relativity, you might wonder why - Einstein renders the special theory’s claims and precepts so self-evident.

202306.13202303.20 lloydearickson Education, Writing

Showing the Word Budget

I think of word limits as budgets. I have some number of words with which to tell my story, and I cannot spend more than that number.
