LANCE ROBINSON Author & Writers of the Future Winner – Biography Lance Robinson has had a strong interest in Science Fiction since elementary school reading The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Dune being a fan of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke as well as writing his first novel before finishing high school. Lance lives in the city of Thunder Bay, in northwestern Ontario, Canada, in the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg peoples and Fort William First Nation. When he's at his day job, he's a social scientist whose work revolves around the human dimensions of managing natural resources. He generally doesn't put an “environmental science fiction” label on his work, but environmental themes and musings about human beings' economic, cultural and spiritual relationships with nature are often woven into his fiction.

An award-winning storyteller with almost 35 novels and over 150 short stories, she blends vivid prose, elemental world-building, and character-driven intensity into tales that are sometimes irreverent, sometimes heartbreaking, but always mythic. Her stories also blend intimate slow burn with apocalyptic stakes, creating emotionally resonant worlds where love endures even in ruin. She is drawn to characters who break, endure, and find their way back to themselves—and to each other—against impossible odds. Her worlds are rich with magic, danger, and heart‑deep connection, always anchored by the belief that even in darkness, love remains a transformative force. She lives in Las Vegas with a skittish tabby Maine Coon, a brash grey ragdoll, and a feisty tortie Persian kitten.

"I, the Teacher, was king of Israel, and I lived in Jerusalem. I devoted myself to search for understanding and to explore by wisdom everything being done under heaven.

Ford Motor filed a major lawsuit last week alleging rampant lawsuit abuse and fraud from Quill & Arrow, a law firm that files thousands of Lemon Law cases every year against Ford and other automakers. The lawsuit accuses Quill & Arrow of "fabricated attorney billing records, unauthorized practice of law, and deliberate obstruction of Ford's ability to fulfill its warranty obligations." According to the automaker, these actions have damaged Ford's relationship with its customers and erode future sales.In the complaint, Quill & Arrow is described as “a fraudulent and illegal billing factory, conceived and constructed to exploit the Lemon Law's fee-shifting provisions.” The lawsuit alleges a number of violations under California law, including artificially-inflated attorney fees. The firm is allegedly using unregistered foreign attorneys to practice law in California while billing at California attorney rates for work performed entirely by non-lawyers. The non-lawyers are making as little as $13 per hour, Quill is billing rates of $350 to $950 per hour. #Ford #AutomotiveNews #LemonLaw #ManufacturingNews #AutoIndustry #BusinessNews #IndustrialNews #FordMotorCompany #LegalNews #IndustryNews

The Quill and the Covenant #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT #USA250 #AMERICA250 #NATION250“"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”— Romans 13:1THE STORYJefferson agonized over every word.The Declaration of Independence went through multiple drafts, multiple committees, and multiple rounds of debate. Jefferson was frustrated by many of the changes, most famously the removal of his condemnation of the slave trade, which the Southern delegates refused to allow.But there was one phrase that survived every draft unchanged. One phrase that Jefferson never reconsidered, never revised, and never removed.Endowed by their Creator." The rights of man, in Jefferson's Declaration, do not come from Parliament or from the goodwill of kings. They come from God. They are not granted by governments and therefore cannot be permanently taken by governments. They are inalienable because they are divine. Every government that has ever tried to permanently crush human freedom has had to reckon with those three words. Rights that come from God cannot be finally extinguished by men.THE REFLECTIONRomans 13 has always been a difficult passage for readers who want an easy relationship between faith and politics. Paul's instruction that governing authorities are ordained of God was written under the Roman Empire.Power comes from God. All of it. Even the power of kings and tyrants is derivative, borrowed, contingent, accountable. The Declaration of Independence, read through this lens, is not a rejection of Romans 13. It is an application of it. When a government acts in direct contradiction to the source of its authority, the covenant is broken from above, not below.The Founders understood this. Their quarrel was not with the idea of government. It was with a government that had forgotten its accountability to God.Two hundred and fifty years later, the words still stand. "Endowed by their Creator." Three words that have outlasted every empire, every ideology, every philosopher who tried to replace them. They will outlast ours as well.THE PATRIOT'S PRAYERCreator God, we acknowledge that every right we possess is a gift from You, not a political achievement, not an accident of history, but a divine endowment. Forgive us when we have acted as though our freedom is self-generated or self-sustaining. We hold these truths because You are the Truth-giver. Guard them in our generation and in the generation that follows. In Jesus' name, Amen.PRAY IT FORWARD: Thank God today specifically for one freedom you possess, religious, political, or personal, that you most often take for granted. Ask Him to help you steward it faithfully.

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave.Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned." (Song of Solomon 8:6-7 NLT).--00:00 Intro00:19 Chapter 102:47 Chapter 205:05 Chapter 306:50 Chapter 409:19 Chapter 511:57 Chapter 614:01 Chapter 715:52 Chapter 818:25 Outro--contact@parableministries.comhttps://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Josie Moore grew up in the valley town of Westfield, Massachusetts with a voice that wouldn't work and a brain filled to bursting. Paranoid by the world and abandoned by those around her, she turned to art in her time of hiding. When she was scared, she wrote about it. When she cried, she drew comforting pictures. With the inability to pinpoint and process her own emotions, she used art and storytelling as her communication, turning her fear into something beautiful. Nowadays, she can finally leave her bedroom, but never without a sketchbook by her side. She attends the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in hopes of getting her BFA in Illustration. She spends her days doodling elves, bears, and silly little faeries and nights writing, planning, and…hopefully writing some more. Finally having an outlet to put all her obsessive, creative energy, she dreams of one day showing even the deepest crevices of her mind with her odd love stories and twisted mysteries. The Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests are the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world with the Writers of the Future being in its 43rd year, the Illustrators of the Future in its 38th year and they are judged by the premier names in speculative fiction. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 9 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book). Joseph Sidari lives in the Boston suburbs with his wife and a delightfully spoiled labradoodle named Chloe, who takes him for walks twice a day. As a practicing physician, he works hard caring for his patients while trying to kill off his protagonists. He is a current member of the Grub Street Writers Group of Boston and a former member of the Spacecraft Writers' Group. He's been a lifelong fan of reading speculative fiction, but only started writing it after flipping his bicycle during triathlon training. Typing at his computer felt like a less risky hobby, so that summer, with his wrist on the mend, he wrote a novel. Then another. On his third attempt, he found an agent who suggested that writing short stories could help build his reputation while the book was being shopped around. The manuscript never sold, but he realized short stories were fun, too. Since then, he has earned multiple honorable mentions in the Writers of the Future contest and two Silvers, while publishing several short stories—though not enough to “pro out." This story was one of those honorable mentions. You know the email Joni Labaqui [contest director] sends? The one that suggests to “revise and resubmit an old story if you don't have anything new.” It resonated. “I liked the idea of the epistolary tale I'd entered to the Contest about a woman trying to free the last dragon in America. But I needed to double down on the premise. Write more than just blog posts. So, I rewrote it from top to bottom.” And here is the new and improved story. United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey (Wool), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few.

Peter's father Ego visited Earth and fell in love with Peter's mother and they wanna get married!  Fast forward to the present and the gang's all here. Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and literal toddler Baby Groot. The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!  They take a job from gold lady Ayesha to protect some batteries from a space squid monster, which they do, in exchange for Gamora's sister. But then Rocket immediately steals those same batteries because of course he does. CLASSIC Rocket. This leads to an all-out attack, a crash landing into a ship planet thing that just kind of appears, and the arrival of a mysterious shirtless dad: Ego. Surprise! He's Quill's father.  Ego invites Quill, Gamora, and Drax to his planet, while Rocket and Groot stay behind with Nebula to keep an eye on her. Peter and Ego hash things out. He explains why he wasn't around but says he wants to be the father he always hoped to be now.  Meanwhile, blue whistle boy Yondu is hired to track them down. Things go sideways FAST when Yondu refuses not to give up Quill location. He ends up being imprisoned with Rocket and Groot, but they escape with some wild arrow work.

Cool cool cool. Quill snaps, the team reunites, and it becomes a full-on “let's destroy dad” situation. They head to Ego's literal brain at the planet's core, plant a bomb. The bomb goes off, Ego is toast, and Quill loses his powers in the process. But the emotional gut punch? Yondu sacrifices himself to save Quill, proving he was his real dad all along. we cry. You cry. Everyone cries.  the Ravagers show up to give Yondu the send-off he deserved all along. And we get a thousand mid credit scenes and none of them matter.
