“Reminiscent of the best space opera mixed with the gritty, violent dystopia of cyberpunk. Recommended for fans of Alastair Reynolds and William Gibson.”
– Booklist

“Dynamic prose, cutting-edge science, and thoughtful ruminations on the future of our species – Tim Jordan’s Glow is a terrific read from a major new voice. A first-rate novel; I was enthralled.”
– Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative

We were amazingly pleased to receive notification that our play, VIZHON, which was world premiered October 2018 at the John McCabe Theatre in Valrico, Florida, was nominated BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE AND BEST DIRECTOR for that year. The play was substantially revised, performed by The Village Players, and directed by Nancy Fueyo.

All monies were donated — 1/2 to The Village Players, 1/2 to a young female pancreatic patient in the area who was so thankful upon receiving the gift. We were blessed and honored.
