A whole lotta great posts, that’s what (to be read in the same cadence as “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin. 😉 )

Starting with two further instalments in Kim Falconer’s Fiction Prediction series:

Ballard’s Electronic Wallpaper — a post centered on the novel High-Rise (1975) and Ballard’s prediction of influencer culture.

Silver Metal Peptides — in which Kim features Tanith Lee’s Silver Metal Lover (1981), which explores the use of drugs for physical enhancement and the ethics of treating sentient creations as property (a theme also explored by Martha Wells’ Murderbot series.)

You can also check out:

Words Is Your Bizness: Writing the Blurb — penned by T Frohock of Los Nefilim fame, with some great “how-to” tips for writing a compelling blurb for your book (or other creative venture.)

The Art of the Yes from Amanda Arista — a post on the power of saying ‘yes’, in all sorts and conditions of situations.

Sex As A Life Force by Cindy Pon — in which Cindy explores the place of sex in coming-of-age stories. And in turn leads us to:

Nice Guys vs Bad Boys — aka are you Team Angel or Team Spike, cheering for Han Solo or Luke Skywalker… 😀

Han Solo the quintessential “lovable rogue”

Enjoy!
