I can’t find a website for Mark, but if you wish to contact him just email me and i’ll pass it on.

Mike’s band Sunspot can be found at Sunspot Music. You can buy all their music from there and I think they are great. You can find their music videos on YouTube as well. Check them out, it is well worth it. For your enjoyment I include the video of my favourite Sunspot song Scott Bakula.

Questions

  1. Is it the right thing to do ?
  2. Would you want to live like this ?
  3. Is it kind or cruel to let his father linger like this ?

12 – Colonel Spitfire and the 7th Brigade Part 1

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

This weeks installment of Sci Phi Journal is the first two part story and is written by Dr Chris Drohan. It is quite a weird story, but I also quite like it. I’d be interested to see what others think. Warning, there is a bit of reasonably graphic violence in this weeks story.
