There is a lot going on in this episode. The humans decide whether to help Sheanna’Ree or not, Vice-Chancellor Greklor acts like a crazed animal and there is a good chance the Earth has been found. And just what has happened to Bobby John? I’ve also had a few requests for Kinfolk names which I have put up on the GalaxyBillies page on this site. If you would like to be included, here’s what I’d like you to do: send me your name or Internet handle to kinfolk at irreverentmuse dot com and I’ll generate a kinfolk name for you.

Read moreThe Quest for Publishing Credits
I have heard (and read) for as long as I’ve been paying attention that publishing credits are important, especially for the fledgling writer. Now this might sound like a catch-22. You know the one: we can’t hire you for the job because you don’t have enough experience, but you can’t get experience without the job? Yes, it most certainly feels like that to me too.
