Recently, I read an article about how the Japanese are using robots for eldercare, and it got me thinking about how different the world will be when I enter into my golden years. How do we go about retirement planning when human cloning will likely be a viable option? What degrees should we encourage our children to pursue when robots are competing for the best jobs? In the flash fiction series Future of Future Planning, I explore the popular science fiction tropes that are rapidly becoming our new reality, and in doing so, I realized that you can't adequately plan for YOUR future without planning for THE future.
THE FUTURE OF FUTURE PLANNING:
Practical College Majors in a Robot-Dominated Society
An Unparalleled Real Estate Investment Opportunity
Unnatural Family Planning
Investment Strategies in a Post-Apocalyptic World
Planning for Your Re-Retirement
Earth's Destruction, A Crowdfunding Campaign
If you enjoy these stories, be sure to keep an eye out my near future thriller, The Prey of Gods, from Harper Voyager, Summer 2017.
Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
