What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Drama King? I wanted to write a hero with massive sunshine, golden retriever energy, and a heroine who was a career focused, pragmatic grump. While pondering these character archetypes and imagining all the different fun scenarios I could place them in, I decided being stranded during Christmas Eve in a shack during a Texas snowstorm (a la 2021) would make for some hilarious situations. Basically, I wanted to write a fun book, and that’s what I (hope I) did. If you had to pick theme songs for the main…
By 29 years old, Chris Daniel felt he had it all: a wife, two beautiful children and fulfillment of his lifelong dream of becoming a U.S. airline captain. But in the spring of 2022, after years of flying, Chris knew something was not right. Shadows from his past were reemerging, strained by post-COVID travel demand and long, taxing weeks on the road. Years earlier, Chris’s physician had suggested that his low mood and trouble sleeping might be symptoms of mild depression. But like many pilots, he balked at the idea. If a doctor diagnosed depression or if he sought help,…
The Horton family Christmas is a warm Salem tradition that reminds viewers of the importance of family.

Sometimes, Christmas offers a break from the high drama and heartbreak, and sad characters may get a special gift that cheers them up. In recent years, Christmas has often lacked that “magic of the season” element. But Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 12-19-22 suggest this year might be different. The spoiler video promises several…

Research from the lab of Fangqiong Ling at Washington University in St. Louis showed earlier this year that the amount of SARS-CoV-2 in a wastewater system was correlated with the burden of disease — COVID-19 — in the region it served. But before that work could be done, Ling needed to know: How can you figure out the number of individuals represented in a random sample of wastewater? A chance encounter with a colleague helped Ling, an assistant professor in the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering, develop a machine learning model that…
This latest book in my series focuses a bit on the romance and comedy aspect of the characters I’ve developed, at least at first. Romance and comedy are emphasized in my books and people tend to think of them as “cozy” for that reason. A common misunderstanding since I bend and blend the genres a great deal. However, I began writing The Frank Gould Mystery Series with a particular set of goals in mind and some of them had very “hardcore” ideals motivating me at every step. Take a good, long look at this US Drug Enforcement Agency “most wanted” poster, please.…

It’s long been believed that Tyrannosaurus rex was a meat-eating maniac while long-necked dinosaurs serenely chomped away at leaves in the background. However, a new study suggests that dinosaurs’ diets were far more diversified than previously thought.To get a better idea of what different dinosaurs actually ate, paleobiologists from the University of Bristol in England examined CT (computed tomography) scans of the skulls of several dinosaur genera, including small bipedal Thecodontosaurus and long-necked Diplodocus, both considered herbivores, and created 3D models of their teeth. “Teeth can give good clues about what an animal eats because they are our tools to break…

Pantera formed over 40 years ago, so they have quite a few albums, which means they also have a lot of songs.So, we decided to conduct an experiment to see which of their songs have never been played live — but focusing only on the era with Philip Anselmo on vocals. Therefore, we’re only tracking their setlists from 1987 on.To establish our findings, we plugged all of Pantera’s songs with Anselmo singing on them into their tour statistics on Setlist.fm. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the songs from albums such as Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven were played during…

I have a weird relationship with music. When I’m at my desk, I can’t just hit shuffle and play anything from my library; I need to focus, so I usually stick to instrumental tunes. Anything with vocals when I’m trying to write or edit feels like someone’s talking to me as I try to come up with my own words.Ever since I started working from home in 2019, my days start around 8:45 am, and I head straight to my desk after making a cup of coffee. Post-work, I join my partner in the living room, and we watch something…
How does gravity affect the passage of time? (Image credit: Yuichiro Chino via Getty Images)Einstein’s theory of general relativity upended humanity’s understanding of the universe more than a century ago, and since then, scientists have discovered that the steady march of time is anything but steady. Among the haunting implications of general relativity is that time passes more quickly at the top of every staircase in the world than it does at the bottom. This mind-bending phenomenon happens because the closer an object is to Earth, the stronger the impacts of gravity are. And because general relativity describes gravity as the…

The power to defend and protect America from the onslaught of evil that plagues it lies in our hands, not in those of our representatives.
