The Arch, the Center, and the Keystone is fairly different from most of what I write, befitting an experiment.
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.
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.
Mastering Bread Review
In my mind, cookbooks were just binders of recipes you keep on a greasy shelf somewhere that may or may not be close to the kitchen, from which you might have one or two go-to recipes you follow for nostalgia’s sake, and otherwise they serve little useful purpose. That is, until I received a copy of Mastering Bread as a gift.
What is Time?
It is first necessary to establish what, precisely, is being asked by that question, since most casual answers are actually responding to the perceived question ‘how is time measured,’ and not to the actual question ‘what is time’.
War: How Conflict Shaped Us Review
I was interested to see what insights I might glean from MacMillan’s War: How Conflict Shaped Us, but the answer, sadly, was ‘not many.’

When I try to write stories and they don’t work, I’m increasingly seeing that the common thread is that they lack a sufficient, permeating conflict.

After spending the first treatise lambasting a proponent of absolute, unlimited monarchy, Locke turns in the second treatise to what I would consider the more productive exercise of defining, deriving, and justifying for himself the source of political power in any commonwealth.
Charmers Author’s Note
Charmers is my first professionally published story (I should really add that to my author bio), which I am very excited about, even now.
Volsunga Saga Review
If I were feeling lazy, I could probably summarize this review by saying that reading the Volsunga Saga was a little like reading a cross between Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology and The Story of Burnt Njal.
