So I run across this, about backing up human knowledge off-planet. Below the fold is an excerpt from chapter eleven of “Echoes of Family Lost.”

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 11
I’m invited by Linda Nightingale…Musings to talk a little about how current real-world AI compares to my machine people. Spoiler: they aren’t and likely never shall be anything like one another. I take a well-earned swipe at ‘journalists’ and even work a little religion in. A fun little essay… enjoy!

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 10
Wherein Independent Authors ask: what are your plans for the future? Using “show don’t tell” as a model, I provide two goodly excerpts of my next novel, “Worlds Without End.” To borrow the warning from ‘A Princess Bride,’ there is kissing.

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 9
I answer a few, but probing, questions while stopping in at Sybrina Publishing. I talk about the things that tend to make Millennials break out in hives: children, faith, and work. Alita gets a hat-tip.

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 8
IIRC from three years ago, the lovely and talented BooksChatter, besides giving me interesting questions to answer, also puts together a soundtrack. Given how much BC has been rooting around in my Instagram posts (@machciv), I wonder what it will sound like?
The last of the Q&A questions hits a little too close to home, but I answer it anyway, as my copyeditor prodded me to made this addition to “Foes and Rivals.”

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 7
The proprietess of christinesbookcorner rolled the dice and allowed me to write a guest post about “Politics in the Future.” Hold onto your Dissident Right MAGA hats, kids, as I’m going in…!

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 6
I was asked by Just Books to write a short Guest Post about would it be more fun to be the hero or villain? I start off by defining terms and quickly wander off into the weeds of the nature of Good and Evil. In other words, typical stuff. Enjoy!

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 5
We are off to Fabulous and Brunette where I provide five example/excerpts as to why you should buy and read my books! I even manage to slip in a Battle Angel Alita reference! I’m so timely!

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 4
Apologies again for the delay. The hosting site was down and I cannot make complex additions to my blog from work. Please head over to Mythical Books wherein I discuss world-building.

MachCiv Book Tour – Day 3
Another author interview, this time at Rogue’s Angels.
