- [I did a thing.](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/i-did-a-thing/) - I decided to kick myself in the rear and make a commitment to my writing.So, I joined Substack.https://cassandradavisauthor.substack.com/p/what-fresh-black-hole-is-thisIf you are already subscribed to my newsletter, you don't have to do anything. This post should already be in your in-box. If you haven't yet subscribed, you can do so via Substack:
- [Monday Musings 1.3](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-3/) - Cassie shambled back from the kitchenette with a bottle in one hand and a mug in the other. Ben took the bottle from her and motioned with his chin toward the futon. “Rest.” “I won’t argue with you.” The medical doctor slid down onto the thin cushions. She took a tentative sip of her tea, then sighed. “That’s nice. Where’d you find this recipe?”
- [Monday Musings 1.13](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-13/) - Ben tapped the files, expanded them, and leaned back. He grunted in surprise.
- [Monday Musings 1.12](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-12/) - Cassie Ruger hummed, somewhat tunelessly, as she dipped her shoulders and swayed her hips in a rhythmic motion. The ability to soothe an infant and still carry-out work with her hands might as well have been written on her DNA.
- [Monday Musings 1.11](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-11/) - “If every human on the planet—except the baby—is being slowly poisoned by both the air and the water, then what is different about the baby?”
- [Monday Musings 1.10](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-10/) - Two (Earth-cycle) days later, Ben Fortunas leaned around Commander Myzme’s side to peer at her work. The alien shifted away from him. Kigvans, at least in his personal experience, did not like close contact.
- [Monday Musings 1.9](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-9/) - Ben, Doctor of Fortunes—the literal translation of his surname still made him grin—arrived at his lab ten minutes before his scheduled meeting with Myzme ko’Khanaa. During their ten-week residence on the planet Dremiks, Ben had expanded the pre-fabricated Qounset hut to include the remains of walls erected by the habitat dome’s original tenants. Some of
- [Monday Musings 1.8](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-8/) - Many hours later, Dr. Ben Fortunas’s communications chip chirped in his ear. His eyes snapped open. He assessed his surroundings, instantly noting that the baby’s cries had not awakened him. Beside him in the bed, Dr. Cassie Ruger snored softly. The windowless room of their box-like home allowed no outside light to penetrate. Ben flipped his wrist over as he slid from the bed.
- [Monday Musings 1.7](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-7/) - Part seven of this peek into a blended family surviving on an alien planet.
- [March newsletter is out!](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/march-newsletter-is-out/) - If you want to read about what I've been doing the past few months, how sales are going, or what new shenanigans Manny Merrill ("Aliens & Gingerbread") is up to, you'll need to subscribe!
- [Monday Musings 1.6](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-6/) - Ben Fortunas didn’t believe in sleeping on a problem. Exhortations about the human brain needing rest made logical sense, but he could not “shut-down” with a mystery rattling around in his head.
- [New site!](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/hello-world/) - Welcome to my re-designed website!
- [Old Blog posts](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/old-blog-posts/) - I started my first author blog back in 2011. Rather than re-create it here, I'm providing a link.
- [Aliens, Gingerbread, & Names](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/aliens-gingerbread-names/) - I'm very excited about the launch of Winter Wonder! As with all artistic endeavors, this anthology (and my contribution to it) was not formed in a vacuum. I want to tell you how "Aliens & Gingerbread" came to be, and I want to thank the people who helped me share this story with the world.
- [So, That Happened](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/so-that-happened/) - I didn't spend the early pandemic months of 2020 making sourdough bread, learning a new language, or writing a novel. We'd move to Texas a measly 9 months prior. We were still trying to settle in, considering if we wanted to buy a home, and figuring out future plans. My sons--who I homeschool--were completing their 11th and 8th grade years. I was plenty busy.
- [Content Warning for "The Sentinels: Requital"](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/content-warning-for-the-sentinels-requital/) - The characters in this book go through some things. While that is, sadly, their lot in life-- being characters in my book--it is unfortunately also true that some readers will have experienced similar traumas. I want everyone who reads this tale to find some measure of enjoyment out of it; I also know that some subjects are just too upsetting and ruin our individual attachment to a book.
- [Giving Thanks](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/giving-thanks/) - Books don't--as much as we may wish they did--spring forth from our brains onto perfectly printed pages or automatically downloaded to an e-reader. They are labors of love (and frustration). They're also a group effort.
- [Monday Musings 1.5](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-5/) - Dremiks had once been covered with marshes and swamps. The war between the native Dremikians and their former masters, the Valtoza, destroyed most of the planet’s atmosphere, leading to the evaporation of all surface water. Deep underground aquifers still existed but pumping and transferring that water took precious time and energy.
- [Monday Musings 1.4](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-4/) - Before Cassie could ask another question about the missing ship, someone—or something—pounded on the hut’s door. Ginny jerked and whimpered on Ben Fortunas’s shoulder. Cassie muttered a curse under her breath as she pushed away from the futon. Ben stepped out of her way. He knew better than to get in her way when she had that look on her face.
- [Monday Musings 1.2](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-1-2/) - Dr. Cassandra Ruger turned as her partner came through the door. Her springy black hair stuck out at odd angles from her braid, except for the sweaty strands plastered to her forehead and neck. Her usually light brown skin had a gray cast to it. Even her eyes—always so ready to sparkle with mirth—looked weary.
- [The Little Moments](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/the-little-moments/) - There are days (many, many days) when it feels like 90% of this writing gig consists of begging. "Please review" "Please join my newsletter" "Please tell your friends!" "Please follow me on Social media." It's exhausting.
- [Monday Musings Series 1 Post 1](http://www.cassandradavis-author.com/monday-musings-series-1-post-1/) - Screams echoed underneath the sand-scoured habitat dome of Dremiks. Their rising pitch and intensity promised a coming storm that the protective structure could not abate. The chalky, blue-gray soil of the planet carried on the wind. Not yet the nightly gale, the dust-laden drafts created visible eddies around the massive dome.
