I’m proud to have been included in the wonderful reference manual collated and edited by Dan Koboldt, Putting the Science in Fiction.
Science and technology have starring roles in a wide range of genres—science fiction, fantasy, thriller, mystery, and more. Unfortunately, many depictions of technical subjects in literature, film and television are pure fiction.
Collecting articles from editor Dan Koboldt’s popular blog series for writers and fans of speculative fiction—plus a foreword by Chuck Wendig (author of Damn Fine Story, Star Wars: Aftermath and more) and a collection of never-before-published articles—Putting the Science in Fiction connects you to experts in a broad range of fields. Scientists, engineers, medical professionals, tech experts and others share their insights in order to debunk the myths, correct the misconceptions, offer advice on getting the details right, and help writers create more realistic yet engaging stories to satisfy discerning readers.
The book is full of great articles and detailed information across a broad range of subjects. It’s available in all good bookstores now.
Why Planes Crash Case Files: 2001 is free for a limited time as a special promotion of the series.
Why Planes Crash focuses on 21st century aviation investigations and breaks them down into key factors.
In this, the first of the series, Wrigley has deconstructed eleven of the most interesting incidents that the world saw in the year 2001. These include a detailed analysis of the disastrous runway incursion at Linate, the passenger interference leading to the Avjet Aspen Crash and why an Airbus A300 disintegrated over Queens.
From bad weather to the engineering faults in the aircraft, the author critically looks into every factor that could have led to the crash.
It is available from all major e-book sellers.

Armas Greg,
Palun vaata kirja lisas olevaid, Observatorio del Teide värskelt kogutud andmetel põhinevaid hinnanguid läheneva asteroidi kohta. Tulemused on õigeks tunnistatud ka siin, Cambridge’i Astrofüüsikaosakonnas.
Nagu sa näed, pole tegemist heade uudistega. Sa pole viimasel ajal kirjutanud, kuidas su töö edeneb, ja ma loodan, et tõrjemissiooni ettevalmistamisel pole tekkinud viivitusi, sest kokkupõrkeni on jäänud ainult loetud kuud.
Palun võta ühendust ja anna mulle asjade seisust teada.
-Samantha

One of my favourite stories (that I’ve written) is in the current edition of Nature. Project Daffodil is a short piece about the colonisation of Mars.
“For obvious reasons, the entire project is very hush-hush.”
You can read the full story on Nature’s website along with a short article about my inspiration for the story. I hope you enjoy them both!
