Admin/ August 31, 2015/ Rants

  There are few topics that have been capturing media attention for such a long time as the Israeli Palestinian Conflict.  This post will be talking about the Origin of the name Palestine itself and NOT about the people who currently claim to be the people from that land area.   Before I continue, I want to bring up a

Admin/ August 28, 2015/ Rants

  In an earlier blog post, I pointed out the necessity of including a glossary in the back of any self respecting Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel.  But that is not the only aspect that separates an average series from one that really stands out.
