The response was thunderous. We landed on the thick cushion below the stage. Jake smiled at me. “That has to be the best show you have ever done! And what a finale!” I chuckled, “I couldn’t have done it without you. You got a greater billing now and making more money.” Jake smiled and nodded, “I need it. We’re building another nursery.” My eyes widened, “Another baby!? Congratulations! That’s number three.” Jake nodded, “Yep. Nancy is in the first trimester. I’m dealing with

The interview took a few hours, but I felt it was tastefully done. Even the part where he sold himself to make money. Bernie looked at Mike, “I agree.” He took of his lapel microphone. “This will save lives.” Eli nodded, “I’ve worked with many of all ages. I’ve dealt with many young people who can’t see a way out. Mike wants to tell them there is. It’s a miracle he survived.” They ended up staying for an early dinner. In the dining room! It

Yes, I am. Read the next chapter! You'll find out what and why.

Word about this upcoming election went wild. Most people wanted to know why, but when told why for Joel they nodded their understanding. They had not been given a choice. It was going to happen at the end of the next month. The title was debated. Prime Minister was chosen. What surprised Joel was Kevin! His eldest son had researched and planned something Joel had no idea about. Daylia proved to be just as noisy as he and Sara Beth knew she could be. Joel loved his sons, but Daylia was

Chet was literally pulling us quickly down the main hall that ran through the bottom floor of the house. “Here’s this big room!” Chet waved as we entered a vast space that had some couches and chair arranged in that space. The was a huge screen on a wall that would have been too large for any other room. “But over here is the kitchen!” He waved behind us. This big room was not white but had many colors. The carpeting was dark grayish blue. The kitchen was mostly white. There were four

We went to the studio and recorded some other scenes for the movie. Cory’s confrontation with his father. In his father’s elegant dark wood paneled office at home. It was a heated argument where his father threatened to cut Cory off if he didn’t give Daniel up. Cory admitted to his father he was falling in love with Daniel. “With that stripper fag!?” Charles asked and literally spat from the distaste he had at the very idea. “He’s not a stripper!” “Don’t be ridic

Joel knew this would happen. Those who insisted all those on the Ark were married to stop jealousies and future problems weren’t wrong, but Joel knew it was stupid. Many of them had married just to be considered. Having singles on the Ark would have been better. They were here now. He called Nayef and Tom for a conference. Nayef came in Joel’s seldom used office. He looked up at the ceiling. “That’s still quite a storm.” Joel nodded, “We’ve proven our ability to remain safe during th

They went back to Poseidon’s Gate. Leif and Steve were very happy with the approval they had gotten. “We’ll begin going over plans to build Atlantis,” Steve said. Hank frowned, “Is it odd that we rely so heavily on the myths?” He asked everyone and no one. “We’ve done that for millennia,” Joel shrugged. “On Earth we named the planets after the gods Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars...” He smiled. “Then we did it again here with Zeus and Aphrodite. We named our new hom

Expecting Guests and Birth of New Atlantis
R. Eric commented on R. Eric's story chapter in Expecting Guests and Birth of New Atlantis
And not just one world! A whole galaxy! Maybe the universe!!! Thank you! -
The work progressed quickly. Joel took the Harpy Stinger back to the Ark so his three Elysians could ride down the elevator. They walked into what was their Control Room. He saw on a monitor a robot similar to the octopus-like robot ready to launch. Joder was feeding the coordinates to the guidance system and sent the eight-armed robot out into empty space. It turned and then took off for its first target. “Your cycle has begun,” Joder said pleasantly. “That mining robot will send materials

Joel and Hank took the headsets off for the neural interface. Joel sighed and rubbed his head wearily. He smiled at Sara Beth and the others in the room. Nayef and Leah were here smiling at him. “That was very interesting.” Rita was there and nodded, “We saw. We saw what you saw.” Hank chuckled, “Well, it all works.” He smirked at his wife. “I felt all that you did even five lightyears away!” He pointed at her pregnancy. Joel shrugged and bent, stretched his arms and back. “I get

Joel wondered if Sara Beth knew of some of these radical groups. He never thought she could be a member of the groups, though she was very passionate about nature. She abhorred violence. She cringed when harsh language was used. Yes, there was the incident where she put the man’s balls in a vise because he didn’t understand how badly his wife hurt to have their child but that was one incident, and she had no regrets about that. “These groups want to save the Earth,” Hank was thinking about

The party lasted for hours after Joel’s...speech? The many children controlled much of what happened. As much as they wanted to make it last longer, sleep was necessary. Not just for the children, but the adults as well. The noise level dropped drastically. Joel worried that the many animals in New Charleston were so frightened they may not ever come out again...nuts or not. Even the fireflies were scarcer that evening. Joel knew they’d be back. They said good night to friends they would se

Ark II is now on the new world and life begins for them.
-
It most certainly does. When the northern hemisphere is in Summer, we are tilted toward the sun. When we are in Winter, we are tilted away from the sun. We are also closer to the sun as a planet to the sun. The southern hemisphere has a scorching Summer! The wobble is the reason. I hate math. I've said that. I love science.

Everybody, I've completed book one of Ark II. I've taken them from the launch to settling on a new world. You know it won't end Book 2 is coming and I'm working on it now. Ark II" Life on Gaea. I've got many new thoughts. New plots and new threats. R. Eric

The time flew by, and they decided to go. Ian was liking his time with Lightening, but hunger made him go back. He promised Lightening he’d be back. “I love Lightening!” Ian declared on the ride to the Dining Area. He shook his head, “Even with his mother there, he’s a real horse and has been alone.” He looked determined, “He’s not anymore.” Joel smiled, “I know.” “You missed it,” Jim said to his brother. “The lake is gorgeous!” “I saw all sorts of animals,” Kevin agreed. “Bu

Yes, the calm right before the storm. Humans are involved. You knew there would be.
-
At dinner that night in the New Communal Dining Area they had their beloved pets from the Ark. Ian was excited about going to visit Lightening again. “You know what to do with Lightening,” Joel said more as a question. “Sure,” Ian agreed. “He needs water, oats and many other things, like a routine bath.” He nodded. “You ride them, you bathe them.” He quoted. Sara Beth looked at Joel puzzled. “Greybear of the Inuit Tribe in Alaska told him that,” Joel chuckled. “Greybear knew

There is nothing wrong with smoking a little pot. In fact, I've done it recently to reduce the pressure in my eyes. Glaucoma is a bitch. It even helps me see. Even chronic use if handled responsibly is fine. Yes, I'm not vocal about most things political, but I say yes to legalizing the use of pot. So far as probing goes, probing or being probed personally? There are some I'd like to probe.

You need to get more Kleenex, I can't stop writing! Yes, there is more coming in a big way. Prepare yourselves.

As Ran got closer to the horizon many of the children were asleep. Not that the parents were that perky anymore. Unloading the passengers took a bit longer as no one moved very fast. Joel was carrying Ian as he was followed by the rest of his family. Angus had piloted back with Joel as the copilot. The other trained pilots would have to train to use the antigravity field, not that it was needed for the trip back. They had a busy, fun day! All were tired and the longer day was still being ad

Patience is a virtue! Having said that, crossing your fingers won't hurt any(you never know).🤞 No, Blueblood is going to continue in China. Right now Ark II is on the burner. I'm concentrating on that one. Have you read it? I have a lot of fact checking to do with China. All my stories will continue. R. Eric

They parted letting everyone know about the three additions coming for the Ark. “Two boys and a girl,” Angus told everyone. To the Human eye, or just to the Human male eyes, Joel couldn’t tell Davina was pregnant. Davina was pretty well endowed where her breasts were concerned, so he hadn’t noticed the change. Joel smiled as he thought of all the new members of their community that were going to be born on Gaea. Daylia, Hank’s and Rita’s twins were to be born here. He knew Sara Beth wo

Athena came up to Joel. “I created that which you saw last, using the plans I have in memory and what you and everyone has said about what you were doing.” She began quietly, “I hope I did alright.” Joel hugged her, “That was beautiful!” “There were some palm trees I should have added...” Athena began. Sara Beth nodded holding Ian who had fallen asleep. These longer days were going to take time to get used to. “It was a projection about a future we are building. It was beautiful.”
