Richard Dee Sci-fi

A casual relationship. It's just me and a couple of random characters. This time, I'm talking about some of the bit-part players.

On my blog today, I take a look at some of the imaginary people I write about. #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky

Expanding on a theme. A story grows up. This time. Turning a short partwork into a novel.

YouTube video by Richard Dee Scifi The Repository of Unwanted Characters.

There's a new short story on my YouTube Channel. Check out The Repository of Unwanted Characters.

New release. The Mess of Us. By Chantelle Atkins Time for another book review.

On my blog today. I review the new release from Chantelle Atkins.

My novel Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud Café goes into the detail of how this would be achieved. It's also a good whodunnit. Excuse the plug.

This exploration is the driver behind one of my series. We start by mining the rocks in Saturn's rings, go on to livestock farming in space, mine titanium on the moon and end up with a potential mission to Psyche 17. All overlaid with an amateur detective set of Miss Marple-style adventures.

Hi, I'm a scifi writer and worldbuilder, with a published textbook on the subject.

I will investigate. At the moment, I'm working on a tachyon capture reactive setup.

Thanks. It's fun, trying to think like an alien and imagine how they might do things differently.

Today's writing job. Devise a working FTL drive for my alien ship. It needs to be practical, based on real science and alien enough to demonstrate how advanced their technology is over ours. I have ideas, I'm going in. #writingcommunity

Thank you so much,

The return of Kalyn Deere. This time, she's bringing her friends. This time, I'm talking about more adventures for a familiar character..

Last year, I wrote a series of short stories, featuring a reluctant amateur detective. Now I'm getting on with volume 2. Find out more on my blog. #writingcommunity richarddeescifi.co.uk/the-return-o...

Short story or Novel? Knowing when to stop writing. This time, I'm talking about the never ending process of creation.

So true, I write to get the stories out of my head, before it explodes with all the idea buzzing around in it. Readers are a bonus, reviews are the icing on the cake.

Great post, such truth. ❤️

Latest blog post! It takes courage to be a writer, to put pen to paper then to try and share it with the world. It's always been tough for creatives but it's getting tougher. #risk #courage #writing #writingcommunity #blogging #writers chantelleatkins.com/2025/01/17/f...

The voices are back, bringing motivation. This time, I'm talking about resuming the never ending process of creation.

On my blog today, thanks to some good news, I've started writing again. #writingcommunity #writesky

My minor characters scream for more exposure. They all have lives and a tale to tell. In fact, there are several who have graduated to having starring roles in their own stories.

Richard Dee Scifi I'm Richard Dee. I write Science Fiction and Steampunk adventures. I also chronicle the exploits of Andorra Pett, a reluctant amateur detective. Here are some samples from my Worlds.

I'm starting to add more content to my YouTube channel. There are short stories, reviews and some videos about me. #writingcommunity

YouTube video by Richard Dee Scifi The Chapel of St Ignatius

Despite suffering from a sore throat and flu, I've managed to record a Christmas Ghost story. Welcome to the Chapel of St Ignatius. #writingcommunity

It sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be sure to grab a copy.

😂 I'm a pantser, it's all a mash-up. There's cozy crime in space, androids in suburbia, parallel universe fantasy, mad scientists, etc. etc.

That sounds like a fascinating idea. To me, world building is just as much fun as plotting. The act of creating the world gives you the freedom to endow it in any way you like. I hate static worlds that are filled with shiny things that serve no practical purpose
