My second book, The Simulation, started with publication in mind from day one. That made writing smoother than in my first book, The Back-Up Colony, which started as a collection of fragments rather than a whole story. Feedback from the readers also suggests that the new book has a good “flow” throughout the story. As…
God was pissed. Mere 2000 cycles had passed since the last major cheat, and things were going down the drain again. Jesus had been a good fix to the issues caused by Moses, but who could have predicted that Luther, Calvin and a bunch of other pricks would twist His teachings in such a way…

“Do you have a minute?” Jessica asked Elon Musk the next morning. “Actually no but make it brief,” Her boss replied. Jessica had already spread the blueprints and material specifications on a conference room table while Elon Musk was still snoring on its couch, exhausted from yesterday’s world-saving. “Dammit. I’ve never seen anything quite like…
Some explanations are better than others.
Due to numerous requests, I made a softcover B&W version of The Back-Up Colony available. The selling price is the same $10 as for the eBook version, but the production and sales cost is $4 instead of one buck. Therefore, I will donate $3 for every printed book to ALS research. The Back-Up Co… By…
Writing turned out such fun that I immediately started my second book. Even more controversial than the first, and with a more pronounced ALS theme. God was pissed. Mere 2000 cycles had passed since the last cheat, and things were going down the drain again. Jesus had been a good fix to the…
