The Timeglass stories are works of fiction, including characters, events, and locations.

The main genre is Science Fiction.

For contrast, there is some adult material involving sexual activities of liberal-minded characters, compared to religious activities of conservative-minded characters, as well as similar differences in politics. Minimal foul language and violence.
Read the article “Political ideas in science fiction” at Wikipedia. I might mix some of my editorial articles with some science fiction to make them more interesting. Also read the article “List of religious ideas in science fiction” at Wikipedia. I’m interested in history, alternate history, time paradoxes, and time travel, as well as political and religious ideas in science fiction.
Favorite quote: “All we can imagine is probably not half as crazy as the truth.” ~ Arthur C. Clarke, in the novel 2010: Odyssey Two.
