You know, I've pretty much decided to bite the bullet and just start my own dance studio once I move to Greater Los Angeles.| Adamas Nemesis
It's curious how Americans seem to find it normal and acceptable that not just particular neighborhoods but whole regions of the country are off-limits for...| Adamas Nemesis
I’ll confess, I’m getting bored: Los Angeles has been an adventure, but after eight months of being on America’s West Coast full time, I think it’s reaching a natural conclusion. I’ve tried getting into real estate, music, acting, modeling, and now dance…and none of it … Continue readingNo, We Won’t Go Back!| Adamas Nemesis
Where is the nearest Earth twin? It’s a crucial question for my sci-fi fictional universe, that I try to base on real scientific information about exoplanets but also keep interesting. Habitable planets abound in the closest star systems, but none are quite Earth-like. Proxima Centauri’s … Continue readingThe Pale Blue Dot, Filtered Through a Dream| Adamas Nemesis
Astrobiology, worldbuilding…you see so many red dwarf, orange dwarf, sun-like systems you feel like your eyes are going to roll after a while. Well…I’m going to flip the script: what about a paradise of a planet, orbiting a giant star that’s well off the main … Continue readingWinter Sports Under Twin Suns: Worldbuilding Capella The post Winter Sports Under Twin Suns: Worldbuilding Capella appeared first on Adamas Nemesis.| | Adamas Nemesis | Adamas Nemesis

The real exoplanet Proxima Centauri b has in my science fiction worldbuilding project become Thalassa, an aurora-lit ocean planet drenched in an oxygen atmosphere, home to floating reefs, giant sapient birds, and even dragons.| Adamas Nemesis
I’ve already done some worldbuilding for my planet “Cerberus” and the surrounding system (Sirius B), but what about the Dog Star itself, Sirius A? We wouldn’t want it to be boring, but we also want to keep it scientifically plausible, yet not duplicative of the … Continue readingWorlds of White The post Worlds of White appeared first on Adamas Nemesis.| | Adamas Nemesis | Adamas Nemesis

Well. I was planning to go live in France, but plans change, and as the French would say, "c'est la vie"| Adamas Nemesis
No, I'm not being pretentious enough to compare my own books to "2001: A Space Odyssey" (though my stories are good; you should check them out! hehehe)...| Adamas Nemesis
I know it’s a direct follow-up from my last post, but why not? After all, Sirius B’s companion world is a fascinating place in my science-fiction-cum-space-opera setting. I now have hard numbers, which dictate tidal locking, the question of it being a moon, the orbital … Continue readingMore Thoughts on my Planet “Cerberus” The post More Thoughts on my Planet “Cerberus” appeared first on Adamas Nemesis.| | Adamas Nemesis | Adamas Nemesis
