Looking Ahead

Winter still has its grip on many parts of the country. However, spring may not be too far off. Again, for the third year in a row, I have been invited to participate in Author Fest, March 28th. Sponsored by the Dalton-Whitfield County Public Library, it is a gathering of local authors in Dalton, Georgia. The event has a little something for everyone's taste. Fiction and non-fiction authors attend, along with those who create illustrated children's books. It is an opportunity for attendees to meet authors. There are also areas for poetry readings, and storytime sessions for children's books.

Exiles of Theia

The manuscript for Exiles of Theia is now a complete story! Re-write is complete!. I think readers who enjoyed Requiem for Theia will find the return to the doomed planet just as interesting. Spring is not far away so the pace of progress may be slow as I have to prepare for the Author Fest in Dalton, Georgia in March. If you haven't been before, it is an interesting event that offers the opportunity to personally connect with over thirty authors.

Look for it in the summer of 2026! Find novels by Steve Croy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

New Sci-Fi Project Exiles of Theia

“Exile is a dream of a glorious return. Exile is a vision of revolution: Elba, not St Helena. It is an endless paradox: looking forward by always looking back. The exile is a ball hurled high into the air. ” – Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses.

The cataclysm that shook Theia changed all that we know. Many still struggle to comprehend what fate has in store for our world. There are those, the Mohrg’ilestra accept the inevitable and see no point in continuing in a civilized fashion. They have discarded the rule of law and rejected the technology that brought doom upon the planet. I have often pondered what Arn Ad-Emn would make of the current state of the world he failed to save. His writings made public seem to express a pragmatic view.

I doubt he would be shocked. From some of his pithy comments, he might not have expected anything different from our people. He and Ninh’ Ar-Rill have been dead for almost 200 solarii at this point. All I know of my ancestors is from historic texts. And of course, the journal Arn kept of the Post-Impact era, which has been passed down through generations in our family. – Exiles of Theia.

New Sci-Fi Project, Exodus from Theia

“If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not recognize it when it arrives. ” – Heraclitus.

The cataclysm that shook Theia changed all that we know. Few are left to appreciate the magnitude of the destruction. Many historians blame technology for the impending doom. It is by no means universal, of course. Our kind’s folly is myriad. The blame must be spread across numerous fault lines. Fractures appeared in the fabric of civilization long before the Impact Era.

Technology did not appear by parthenogenesis. It was a product of that civilization. During the 3nd Century CCE, the Mohrg’ilestra led a revolt against technology. Regions of Theia saw a regression of social structures and a reemergence of tribalism akin to the prehistoric existence of the Ahsia’aa, our distant ancestors. – Exodus from Theia.

Track of the Wolf

“Are wolves dangerous?” the boy asked his father scanning the woods on either side of the stream.

“Any animal can be dangerous,” his father replied. “A horse can kill a man, with just one kick. A buffalo won’t eat you, but if one were to trample you, you’d be dead, just the same. Wolves generally leave you alone, if you leave them alone. They are hunters, just like we are. And much of the time they are hunting the same game we are. They are just trying to survive. A lone wolf probably wants to stay away from a man. A pack of wolves might attack a body. But, a pack is more interested in a bigger meal, such a deer, or buffalo. We’re too skinny to feed a whole pack. Just remember any animal can be dangerous, given the right conditions.” Philippe scanned the woods.

“What conditions?” the boy asked, genuinely interested.

“Fear,” his father replied without hesitation. “Fear of being hurt. Fear of being killed. Fear of starving to death. When winter comes and food is scarce, when the snow makes it hard just to walk, let alone hunt. That’s when you need to be most careful. When it’s so cold it’s almost painful to take a breath and the pack hasn’t made a kill in a week. That’s when wolves are most dangerous. Remember the track of the wolf.”
