Research

I really like doing research because I like science in my science fiction.

The picture to the right is my computer lab at home where I do research, binge watch TV and use a lot of electricity. (and procrastinate)

I can not stress enough how important it is to do research. You will piss readers off if you get something wrong.

I get so pissed off when I read, "He clicked off the safety on his Glock..." because Glocks have no safety switch.

Get all the science right about gravity and when I make the step into fiction my readers are far more likely to believe me, or at least, forgive me.

--Still Falling has anti-gravity, AIs, FTL travel, guns and even bees. All researched.
