Unstoppable Liv Beaufont Snippet #2
Have you been waiting patiently, or anxiously, for the next snippet?
Well, wait no further, here’s Chapter 2 in The Rebellious Sister – Book 1 in the Unstoppable Liv Beaufont series!
Chapter Two
“Open up already!” Liv Beaufont yelled, banging on the door. She pulled back her foot, ready to kick the crummy old thing when John’s voice called from the other side.
“If you break it, you buy it,” he warned, referring to the door.
She stomped, furious that he always seemed to know what she was going to do before she did it.
“Well, then open the door and take your meds, old man” she said, reaching into her pocket and retrieving the pill bottle John had left at the repair shop.
“They hurt my stomach,” he replied.
“But they keep that tiny, cold heart of yours beating,” Liv stated.
“I’ll see you at work in the morning,” John said stubbornly. “I’m going to bed right now.”
Liv’s fist slammed against the wall beside the door, her frustration at the cantankerous old man making her head simmer.
“If you keep this up, people are going to start thinking you care about the senile old man,” Plato said, strolling out of Liv’s open door down the hallway. The mostly white cat had four black spots across his body, making him resemble a cow, which was why the neighborhood kids mooed at him when he strolled by. Plato handled their teasing by ignoring them and later peeing on their scooters and bikes parked in front of the building.
“I don’t care about John,” Liv argued. “It’s just that our apartments share air ducts, and if he dies in his, it will take forever to get the stink out of my place.” read more…
New Biomaterial: Another Step Towards SciFi Healing Tech
Many of us have been injured at one point or another in our lives. For those of you who haven’t, you probably will someday. The good news is medical technologies are advancing every single day.
So what if I told you Doctor Ben Almquist at the Imperial College in London developed a molecule that helps our cells restructure themselves? This molecule can be applied to a host of different materials to increase their effectiveness.
These molecules are known as traction-force activated payloads(TrAPs) and are extremely versatile. Not only do TrAPs naturally increase the rate of healing in cells, they can even be tailored to specific cells.
This molecule could revolutionize regenerative medicine thanks to this versatility. A doctor can personalize treatments for people with any sort of cell-related trauma including burns.
It will even help laboratory studies on stem cells, diseases, and even tissue development. Sounds like a pretty big deal, but how does that get us closer to Sci-Fi healing tech?
This discovery, as it stands now, isn’t the miracle of technology. We need to introduce things like hypo-sprays and regeneration pods (medical pods anyone?). However, it does point us in the right direction to understand our own body’s regenerative read more…

The Rebellious Sister, Book 1
Chapter One
In every man’s life, there is that rare and distinct moment when they doubt their loyalties. Ian Beaufont was living in that moment, an internal battle waging itself on his insides. He was much closer to finding out the truth, yet the closer he got, the more he felt like an avalanche was about to engulf him.
At the threshold to the cottage he shared with his sister, Ian checked over his shoulder. The Pacific Ocean crashed against the shore on the other side of the house. The night had swallowed the cottage, making it blend into the dark sky and hillside. Maybe if he wasn’t so tired, he’d venture down the stairs and stroll along the beach later that night. The gentle beating of the ocean on the sand always put him at ease, which was why he and Reese had chosen this place away from headquarters. No one knew they had it, and it would stay that way for as long as they needed to uncover the truth.
Ian held up his hand in front of the seemingly ordinary deadbolt on the cottage door. Touching nothing, he twirled his hand a half inch to the right, two inches to the left and then reversed in a full circle as if he were unlocking a safe, muttering an incantation as he did. A moment later the door creaked opened, granting him admission to his home.
Before Ian was even over the threshold, he began pulling off his scarf and long traveling jacket. The winds were mild that night in Southern California, but they’d been punishing an hour ago in London.
“Reese, I’m home,” Ian called, squinting in the dark for a place to lay his jacket. It felt like ages since he’d been home, but maybe that was because he’d missed it so much. This was the only place where he knew what was going on. read more…

Game of Thrones Date Set For Series Finale
Image: HBO
The days of winter are upon us. The official date for the first episode of the final season of Game of Thrones just GOT released by HBO. Set your phone calendar to the day of April 14, and the official time for the show is 9 pm. We will find out if Daenarys Targaryen gets to sit on the Iron Throne. When we listened to George R. R. Martin talk about meeting the HBO showrunners, discussing their vision, and seeing if it aligned with his, he will always say his goal was to write the best books possible and he understood it was their goal to make the best show possible. Yes, there is a lot of nudity and violence. However that doesn’t stop the epic tale, and it doesn’t detour from the amazing character who is Jon Snow – if that really is his name.
In the latest teaser trailer for the final season, we see Jon Snow walk into a crypt with Sansa and her sister Arya Stark. They walk past their deceased mother/stepmother and listen to her regretful words on how she treated Jon when she still lived. Then they come upon three statues read more…

The Cinematic Universe Problem
(Photos: Warner Bros. & Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)
Having multiple movies where characters interact with each other is a relatively new idea to genre films. Generally speaking before the last decade, one actor would play a character confined to their own movies and never shall they meet another character from another movie. The stories of their movies exist on their own, and when the story reached its conclusion, if the studio wanted to tell more stories with that character, it was recast as a new actor completely separated from the films previous. Marvel Studios changed that, taking a huge risk in doing so, but other studios tried to take a bite at that apple with middling results. Warner Bros came late to the party with their universe, barely tying their Justice League line of films with side projects like Suicide Squad. Others, like Universal, attempted to make a go of Dark Universe, an attempt at a Universal monster franchise with films such as 2014s Dracula Untold and 2017s The Mummy reboot.
The problem with this is that when you have to make multiple movies fit one overarching plot, you lose, to differing degrees, what makes the single movie on its own great. While Captain America: Civil War was a pretty great movie, consider what it could have been read more…
