Writing a futuristic novel is scary and fun at the same time, a bit like riding in the Chrome Tadpole (what I call the thing that transports NDGT in Cosmos) must be. Speaking of Cosmos, I must say that it is giving me a great many ideas for my book. Unfortunately, some of my grieving is bound up with that series, which I had so hoped to watch with someone.
And still, this old astronomer waits each week for that great show. The universe does not want to listen to us....I think the universe wants US to listen to IT.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
