Be Yourself. Be Happy.

Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.

Stay Positive. Always.

My New Science Fiction Story Published

Posted by admin

I am tickled to report that one of my science-fiction short stories, about using a black hole to escape the pain of a relationship breakup, was published last week by “Theme of Absence” magazine. You can read it free online at: https://themeofabsence.com/…/slow-time-station-by…/

A short interview, with an explanation of the science behind the story, can be read at: https://themeofabsence.com/2022/04/author-interview-andrew-fraknoi/

One of my dreams has been to spend some of my retirement writing science fiction about astronomical ideas. This is my fifth published story, so I guess I might now be able to say that I am launched in this side-career. You can read all my published stories on this website’s science fiction page at: https://www.fraknoi.com/science-fiction-with-good-astronomy/
