Brain activity pattern as unique as fingerprint | Human World | EarthSky
This fits in perfectly with the concept of a “mindprint” that I use throughout my science fiction series, The Star Trails Tetralogy.

KIC 8462852 is an oddly dimming star – 1,500 light-years away. It might or might not be surrounded by vast megastructures in space, built by aliens.

Treasure Shore Beach, Florida … again!
More Purrseidon boogie board adventures!
Yes, we have been here and blogged about it before.
This has became one of our favorite beaches in Florida. And well Purrseidon, was insistent on coming with us this morning. How could you tell this furry face no? Especially, when it brought you a leash.
Yeah, I couldn’t, either…so our day’s plans went from going to a manatee observatory to the beach.
We choose this one because it is not crowded (well compared to others, today being a week before many go back to school, all beaches saw a little more traffic.) And the water here stays shallow forever so we can get behind the waves with plenty of standing room. It was the purrfect place for Purrseidon’s first boogie boarding and swimming lessons.
Purr loves water and has an unnatural obsession with the kids boogie boards. But is not very fond of the shoreline where the waves meet…

How Purrseidon’s 1st Boogie Board Lesson went …
This is such a hoot! Cats never fail to surprise us, even when we’ve had dozens of them. They’re as individual as people.
I know y’all must think Purrseidon and her water addiction is strange (so do I) … some have speculated that she is a dog in a cat’s body: others have speculated that she believes the Purrtectors I write about in the Sea Purrtector Files are real and she wants to become one … We initially noticed her water obcession when she LIKED getting squirted with a water gun for climbing on the kitchen counter. As she got older, she would beg to go out whenever it rained and/or the lawn sprinkler was on.
I thought it was a very odd phase and she would grow out of it.
Instead, it got worse. Due to our country leash laws, she had to learn to walk on a leash in order to go outside… With the reward of getting into the rain and/or possibly roll in a mud-puddle, she learned fast. Then…

Liza O’Connor Discusses the Potentials of Black Holes
Sounds like my kind of science fiction, i.e. based on actual science. Can’t wait to read it!
The Black Hole…what is its real purpose?
Is it a giant mulcher that breaks down large objects into base elements and spews them out the other side as dark matter?
Or is it a portal to other multiverses?
Or is it a combination of both?
In my novel, The Gods of Probabilities, the highly advanced, long lived sentient beings who travel from one universe to another in great frequency use these prolific holes to go from one universe to another. And there are lots and lots of holes.
Black holes are ubiquitous everywhere in the universe. Below are just the ones our telescopes can see so far in one small area of space.
But even in my story that doesn’t mean just anything can wander into a black hole and magically appear in another universe.
No, you need a key, or in this case, the built in capability of their…

Twitter Tips for Authors – Planning & Scheduling
Here are some great hints on using Twitter. I like the idea of using Excel. I have a list but categorizing it would be great!
Like it or not, indie authors have to be proactive in social media if they want potential readers to discover their books. Twitter is one of the most popular avenues for getting the word out. In this post I offer a few suggestions on how to manage your tweets and promote others at the same time.
First, a Few Words about Tweeting in General
Obviously, you want to tweet about your masterpiece and you hope that others will retweet for you. But your Twitter feed should not be all about you and your book. Tweet about stuff that interests you and might interest your followers as well – for example, writing tips (from someone else’s blog) or your reviews of someone else’s great book. Retweet others when they post interesting and relevant tweets. Reciprocate retweets whenever possible – think of it as a team effort.
