I wrote Date Night on Union Station while taking a break from work on a science fiction epic I've been struggling with for years. The goal was to cheer myself up and to find out if there is still an audience for a science fiction comedy that gets its laughs from dialogue and funny situations rather than from gross-outs and shocks. As many readers have pointed out, the EarthCent series could be rated PG under the old fashioned system, no bloodshed, no graphic sex, no four letter words. And after years of imagining a galaxy for my epic in which multiple human civilizations are at war with each other, it did me a world of good to write about a galaxy where most people are just trying to make a living and find some joy in life.

Audiobook Podcast of Turing Test for sheltering at home

Rather than obsessing over virus news the last month, I've been recording an audiobook of Turing Test, Book #1 of my AI Diaries Trilogy, to give away as a free podcast. I already have sixteen of twenty chapters finished, so I've started posting them, one a day, and should have the final four finished in time.

Bits of Flower by E.M. Foner
"Book 2 in the series

A somewhat different view of life on Flower, the huge colony starship. This time mostly from the Bits people’s perspective. An interesting plot with a very diverse set of characters. A great story. "

“The ambassador was part of the special remedial dating program,” Jeeves explained. “All of the other species on the station sign up with a dating service to find their best match, but some humans can’t coherently describe what they want for breakfast, much less for the rest of their lives.”
E.M. Foner, Wanderers On Union Station

“How many G’s can your body tolerate without permanent damage?” In Joe’s experience, nothing good ever came from responding to this type of question.”

“After a couple of years of monitoring the news, I’ve learned that the same stories repeat in a cycle, with just the names and places changed. At first I thought that the news broadcasters were literally reusing old reporting to save money, but I gradually came to the conclusion that humans find it comforting to watch the same news over and over again.”
E.M. Foner, Turing Test
