Building the Raptor Fleet Series

(This is a Test Posting to see if I’m doing this correctly)

The Raptor Fleet series is my attempt to ‘step back’ in storytelling methods and concepts, recapturing the epic moments of larger-than-life settings, whether it was centered around a settlement or aboard a war cruiser during a battle.

This means, of course, that I’ve had to take the time and build the settings, adding history, scientific advances, and especially people.

-Why is the human interstellar government called ‘The Empyrean Imperia’?
-What is the Empyrean Imperia modeled after, and what was added in?
-Who was Dilip Varma, and why are the Emperors/Empresses called ‘Second’ or ‘Fifth’ of the Varma Line?
-What happened to Old Earth, and why is the Throne set in Addis Adaba?

These questions, as well as Chapter Drafts, will be answered/available for subscribers.

05/18/2024 Adapting to Unknown Routine

Sarah and I used to make the joke that if she were ever offered a job whose salary could cover our household, I’d become a house-spouse that very instant. I’ve said this before at the office, mostly because it made the older men stare in confusion.

Welp, I now have the abundance of time that comes from being at home. I have to admit that this is very odd for me, but I’m game to learn what I can do.

I also have the caveat that my chest muscles are still recovering, so I have weight-lifting restrictions. That will drive me crazy, eventually, but for now I’m piddling around the house and learning what all I can do.

So, what can I do?

Gonna wander around and find out, so it’ll be an adventure for today!

Pray for my family; they’ve never had me around this much.

Stay safe out there, folks.
