NOBODY JOIN A CULT!! Okay? Seriously. I don’t think I could handle it if someone I knew in real life was a Sister Wife or started wearing Dahmer glasses and claimed to be the Messiah. ? I just finished this book, Breaking the World by Jerry Gordon. It’s a historical fiction telling of the Branch Davidian cult led by David Koresh in Waco, Texas. But it’s also apocalyptic horror! How do these two genres come together—historical fiction mashed with apocalyptic horror?? You’ll have to read my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to find out!! The link is in my profile. In short, I’m so glad the #nightworms were given the opportunity to read this book. Thank you @apexbookcompany ?? #breakingtheworld #davidkoresh #wacotexas #apocolypse #apocolyptichorror #historicalfiction #cultbook #cultlife #motherhorror #sadiereviews

Wind Power Grows Up

Every trip from Indianapolis to Chicago takes me past Purdue University’s impressive wind farm. No matter how many times I drive past, it always feels like I’ve been transported into a science fiction movie. Hundreds of windmills, three hundred feet tall, dot the farmland surrounding I-65.

It’s the perfect location. The relatively small windmill base doesn’t interfere with farming. And since the land borders one of Indiana’s busiest interstates, no one complains about the noise. If you’ve never heard wind turbines in action, this will give you an idea of just how annoying they can sound…

Your Pocket Keyboard

To say I use my iPad (Air 2) a lot is an understatement. I write novels on it. It holds lecture notes for my college classes. It’s perfect for prototyping user interface designs, updating websites, and keeping up with the latest meltdown on the web. The only concession I’ve had to make is carrying a full-sized Bluetooth keyboard in my bag for long typing sessions.

Until now.
