New Book on Amazon (Uncharted Horizons)

Greetings,

In an attempt to write more and, hopefully, get more readers, I've started to create more flash fiction. While I write a lot of science fiction, I also write about other topics involving the environment and climate change, for example. I hope you'll find the time (only a few minutes) to explore some of these stories. 

You can find a new 2025 collection of short and flash fiction stories out on Amazon as well. Much, but not all, of that anthology is science fiction, but with a few other themes as well. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Thanks for reading.

J.R.

 


About

I am a retired scientist who, during my younger years, immersed myself in the works of authors such as Rod Serling, Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance, and Larry Niven. My interests extend beyond the realm of science, encompassing world affairs and the possible futures that I envision. My goal is to create stories that are entertaining, thought-provoking, and ultimately satisfying.
