Club High Castle

Wednesday brought an unexpected snow day in my neck of the woods, so here are five things I did with the sudden surprise of free time! 1. I worked on Sisters I finished rewriting the ending—this alternate universe story now has an alternate ending! I’m still looking for a Beta Reader if anyone’s interested! Look at the goodies that are in store for you in this post: Call for Beta Readers 2.  I took in the waistline of a skirt I ordered online Heaven forbid women’s’ sizing be consistent even within the same brand! The skirt is beautiful, and I’ll still buy from them, but I’m just a little disappointed that the comfort I had in buying the same size all the time is gone. What is women’s’ sizing? We just don’t know. 3. I kept checking Twitter in hopes that there was a little announcement from the official HighCastleTV account regarding Season 3… Hey, I had to include this because it’s true! I kept checking! 4. I started a painting The mood fit, and I had nothing else to do, so I wo...

Roadster By MLC A tribute to the Falcon Heavy launch on 6 February, 2018 Cast: Commander Thorne First Officer Webb Science Officer Ivan Ensign Jacobs The Imperial Kingston Starship Powell The Roadster With special guests: Commander Erwin Johnson Cosmonaut Dmitry Yelchin Astronaut Peggy Mills   *All cast members are fictional with the exception of The Roadster *Main image of the Roadster is from Tesla Motors .  Roadster “Commander, I’m detecting an unidentified vessel ahead. Forty-three thousand, two hundred and five Karveks away.” Commander Thorne placed his palms against the flat panel in front of him. The readouts glowing inside of it indicated the IKS Powell’s course.  They were to explore the quiet solar system lurking around Shasta IV, the North Star. “Hail them,” he said, holding his breath. Anticipation burned through his limbs, and his gut churned. The separatists never ventured past the blue moon of Vegra II, and the IKS Powell was fifty billion Karveks aw...

 The future belongs to those who change it. 31 December 2017 Reflections On a personal level, this year has been good to me. I got to travel to places I’ve never been before, I got to see my sister on the West Coast, and I’ve managed to improve my art. I know I mention Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle in every single post, but I want to give the creative minds behind it, the actors and actresses, and all of the people who work on the show credit. Without them, I’d have never branched out into unknown and untested artistic waters. I’d have never met some wonderful people whom I now consider friends. I’d have never gotten into making black and white photo aesthetics. So thank you. Thank you a million times over! A few highlights from 2017: What will 2018 bring? I know it will bring more travel (I have an awesome job!), more artistic endeavors, and new experiences (that goes without saying). My goal for 2018 is to finally—once and for all—to crack out of my shy Internet-self shell...

Don’t forget to read the disclaimer at the end! The year was 1962, Kennedy was president, and the Cubin Missile Crisis was just around the corner. Deep within the darkest corner of the CIA’s science and technology division, The Prathra Project was in full swing. Deputy Director Klemm was about to cut the project from the budget and end it entirely when he saw something that rocked him to the very core. Enter File 02365 On the frigid morning of 3 February, 1962, Klemm received an emergency call regarding the Prathra Project. He felt a sense of annoyance as he headed down the stairwell that would take him into the basement level of redacted . He had always kept a wary eye on wild, conspiracy-theory ridden experiments like this one. So long as the higher ups insisted on studying ridiculous notions like telepathy, alternate dimensions, and alien life, Klemm had no choice but to keep the projects running—unless, of course, there was a sudden need to reallocate funds elsewhere. He walke...

The Man in the High Castle cast members were at NYCC to discuss Season 3. Oh, and the best part? An exclusive early look! A huge thanks to @nerdophiles for live tweeting the panel! The official sneak peak! Talk about a thriller! Here are my thoughts & theories, some T&T: Smith’s Revealing Facial Expressions Season 2 left us with Smith preventing a nuclear war and getting access to Hitler’s vault of films. In the clip above, he is clearly troubled before the doctor even begins his spiel about the traveler on the table. My initial guess is that Smith watched some of the films, saw a different version of himself or something equally disturbing, and was suddenly called to the lab. The doctor only confirmed what looked like a world-shattering suspicion for him. Look at the way he moves and rubs the back of his head. Smith, who is always in control and always has a plan within a plan, is distressed. Another factor that most certainly has a play in Smith’s temperament is Thomas’...

I’m looking for 1 or 2 beta readers for Sisters . I can pay you in art! Here’s the scoop! What is a Beta Reader? A beta reader is someone who reads a novel before it is published and provides feedback to the author (Did they enjoy it? Was it a good book? Were there any plot holes or inconsistencies?). They do not do any editing or any technical work! They read it as though they were someone who bought the book. What I am Looking for One or two mature, trustworthy people to beta read the novel who will provide feedback within a decent turnaround time (1 – 2 months). If you’d like to get a feel for Sisters, I have the first few chapters on Wattpad . I’ll be honest: the chapters get darker and darker, and I don’t know if I should continue posting them publicly without someone reading through the entire novel first (for now I’m putting the rest of the chapters on private). Sisters Stats 131 Word pages  Not every page is a full page of text 64,400 words I’ll email it to you as a...

Sisters I finished the first wave of revisions! I will get through this, gosh darn it. Now it’s time to go back and look at the story as a whole. There were some things I missed in the beginning—The early chapters had everyone sporting their universe’s version of the iPhone 6. The year is 2002, and that is a big nope! They should be struggling with flip phones. I mean, back in the day, if you wanted to text an s, you had to hit that button four times! I’m hoping that my zeal for editing the early chapters over and over again when I started the project will make this a lot easier. And no, I couldn’t hold onto that editing obsession as the story progressed. It was a great idea, but I grew too impatient and just wanted to write. As I’ve stated before, when it comes to editing, I have the attention span of a gnat…even that is being too generous because there is my eternal battle with insomnia. If I didn’t get any sleep the night before, you can forget it. I have way too many instances of i...
