The Science of Cryosleep: How Close Are We to Deep Space Naptime?
But here’s the real question: how close are we to making this sci-fi staple a reality? Let’s be honest—space is huge. Like, “you’ve-gotten-through-three-packs-of-Tang-and-you’re-still-not-at-Mars” huge. So it’s no surprise that one of the most enduring concepts in science fiction is also one of the most appealing: cryosleep. You know the drill—our plucky explorers climb into sleek… Read More

When Time Flies… or Freezes
I found myself thinking about something truly sci-fi: cryo-sleep. Spring is moving fast here—one minute I’m dragging branches off the lawn, the next I’m squinting at the thermometer wondering if it’s too soon to get the grill out. (Spoiler: it’s never too soon.)

Check Out Leif's Books on Amazon While knee-deep in… Read More

How to Keep Science Fiction Fresh: Avoiding the Same Old Tropes
Ah, science fiction—the genre of infinite possibilities! The playground of bold new ideas, mind-bending concepts, and… Wait, is that another dystopian future where society is divided into arbitrary factions? Are we really doing the “evil mega-corporation” thing again? Don’t get me wrong. Tropes exist for a reason. They resonate, they work, and when they first… Read More

Keeping Sci-Fi Fresh: Because Even the Future Needs an Update
As a sci-fi writer, I spend a lot of time building worlds... …some dark and dystopian, some hopeful and advanced, and at least one where the biggest crisis involves sentient coffee machines staging a rebellion (still working out the details on that one). But whether I’m crafting intergalactic societies, futuristic cities, or alien ecosystems, there’s… Read More
