Getting Down to the Business of Interstellar War
In the opening years of the next century, interplanetary war rages between the powers that rule Earth, the Universal Trade Zone (UTZ) with the New catholic Church (NcC), and those exiled to outdated holdings on Mars, the Universal Islamic Nation (UIN). Bernard Campion – BC – is the Vatican Abdicator. He left the papacy of the NcC to try to unite and lead humanity in a two-front war against the alien race known as the Eldred and against Dolomay, a fresh from suspended animation survivor of those now called the Ancient Enemy. BC gets down to the business of interstellar war in Chapter Three of Vatican Abdicator on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio – free audio science fiction adventure each week, written and read by host Mike Luoma.

Abdicating for The Greater Good?
Bernard Campion – BC – just escaped from Mars, where his peace overtures to the UIN backfired. He's been an assassin, ambassador, a CEO, head of the UTZ Council, and he's now pope of the New catholic Church. But that may be about to change. The human race faces dual alien threats from the Eldred and Dolomay, a recently revived survivor of the race known as the Ancient Enemy – it may not be the best time to be a man of Peace...

My Balticon 2019 Schedule
This Thursday, I'll be trekking down to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for my annual visit to BALTICON!
If you're joining us, look for my Reading Sunday at 1pm - I'll be doing my very first public reading from Alibi Jones: Christmas Present. Plus, I'm on panels on writing, podcasting and audio books.
That's Balticon 53 - the latest incarnation of this long-running Science Fiction convention with a strong New Media track. Date: May 24-27, 2019. Location: The Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland.

Authors John French, Mike Luoma, and Ted Weber read from their works.
Why the Storyteller Needs a Narrator - Pride of Baltimore II New Media Panel Sun 2:00 PM

Panelists will discuss the history of podcasting and how it's changed over the past 15 years.
Improving Your Readings - Room 8029 Literary Workshop Sun 5:00 PM

The Future of Podcasting - Pride of Baltimore II New Media Panel Mon 10:00 AM
Over the past 15 years, podcasting has changed from a niche production style to one taken up by media conglomerates in order to compete on the internet. How will things continue to change and what would people like to see?

A Special Treat this Week on Glow-in-the-Dark Radio!
Mixing it up! A special treat this week, as Mike Luoma, your host and reader, for the first time brings you his narration of another new writer's work! The Adventures of Alibi Jones will return next week, with Chapter Twenty-Nine of Alibi Jones and the Hornet's Nest.
This week, with the kind permission of author R.L. Dean, you'll hear a sample from his new audiobook THE RHINE (Harmony Part 1) – just out this week at Audible featuring Mike's narration!
The chapters of The Rhine are each told from a different character's point of view. In this chapter, we follow Mat, captain of the Sadie, a mining ship that has just managed to fend off a pirate attack from a modified tug, out near Saturn. The tug appears disabled, the pirates likely dead. Mat and his ship's engineer, Haydon, an old soldier, ready to board the tug to look for salvage - and maybe survivors...

Hear Mike Narrate THE RHINE by R.L. Dean
Just released! A new audiobook narrated by Mike Luoma - THE RHINE (Harmony: Book 1) - Science Fiction in the not-too-distant future written by R.L. Dean! This is good stuff, folks - a lot of fun to read! And hopefully fun for you to listen to as well.
Gerhard Shultz, the first elected governor of Mars, wants what’s best for his people....
The colony depends on Earth businesses for goods, but Earth is run by an imperialistic United Nations whose regulations and sanctions are overbearing. Increasing tensions are only exacerbated by suspicious pirate attacks in the Belt. It is rumored the attacks are the work of the Free Mars Now grassroots movement or privateers paid by the Martian government in defiance of the UN.
Recent victims of a pirate attack, Mat and his crew aboard the Sadie, discover evidence that could prove the rumors true. With the UN squeezing the colony for every dime they can get and Schultz looking to better the Martian situation, there are deals to be made. No one knows that better than Apex Mining’s CEO, Alexandria Reinhardt, whose Board of Directors has ordered her to sell their ore to the Martians despite a UN embargo. Her plans are more ambitious than simply ignoring government decrees, however...

The Mysterious Mr. Parsons — Life at the Intersection of Crowley and Hubbard
[My New Article is up at Medium: https://medium.com/@glowinthedarkradio/the-mysterious-mr-parsons-life-at-the-intersection-of-crowley-and-hubbard-746a219d34fd - This is an excerpt]
“So Jack became a loyal follower of Mr. Aleister Crowley/He took an oath to be a Magister Templi/His pretty house in Pasadena was notorious for the orgies…” — “Blood & Rockets: Movement I — Saga of Jack Parsons…” — The Claypool Lennon Delirium, South of Reality
[Read More at Medium: https://medium.com/@glowinthedarkradio/the-mysterious-mr-parsons-life-at-the-intersection-of-crowley-and-hubbard-746a219d34fd]
He was a disciple of “the wickedest man alive” Aleister Crowley. Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard performed magick rituals with him, stole his girlfriend and conned him out of his life’s savings. And the rockets he helped develop eventually put us on the Moon.
As he’s also now the subject of a new song from Les Claypool and Sean Lennon, “Blood & Rockets” from The Claypool Lennon Delirium, the time seems ripe for a fresh look at the fascinating and enigmatic Jack Parsons. His life was as colorful as the glare of his rockets; his death in 1952 in an accidental explosion, still mysterious.
Parsons’ life path intersected with those of two Modern Holy Men, Crowley and Hubbard. He was a personal link incarnate between the two men, and, in some ways, between Crowley’s Thelema and Hubbard’s Scientology. The two men were instrumental in what Parsons viewed as his life’s major Magickal undertaking, The Babalon (sic) Working.
Parsons was already a high priest in Crowley’s religion of Thelema prior to meeting Hubbard. He corresponded with Crowley, addressing him as “Most Beloved Father” and signing his letters “Thy Beloved Son, Jack”.[i] He’s described as “Aleister Crowley’s hand-picked leader of the U.S. branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis, the Southern California-based Agape Lodge.” Lodge member Jane Wolfe said she saw Parsons “as the real successor to Therion (Crowley).”[ii]
Parsons was six foot two and charismatic — “The James Dean of the Occult,” according to occult writer Richard Metzger. As a rocket scientist and an occultist, he was also a friend to many of California’s science fiction writers. Some lived with him; Parsons’ home — later dubbed the “Parsonage” — was a sprawling old manse in Pasadena that he ran as a kind of cooperative, bohemian rooming house that advertised for artists, musicians, atheists, anarchists and other exotic types. In addition to the apartments, Parsons reserved two rooms for the conduct of the Gnostic Mass and other O.T.O. rituals.[iii]
Science Fiction fan and occasional Parsonage guest Alva Rogers said “Jack was the antithesis of the common image of the Black Magician… He bore little resemblance to his revered Master, Aleister Crowley, either in looks or in his personal conduct. He was a good looking man… urbane and sophisticated, and possessed a fine sense of humor. He never, as far as I saw, indulged in any of the public scatological crudities which characterized Crowley… I always found Jack’s insistence that he believed in and practiced magic hard to reconcile with his educational and cultural background.”[iv]
Through mutual friends — some reports say Robert A. Heinlein — he met L. Ron Hubbard. He was impressed. Parsons wrote Crowley:
“About 3 months ago I met Captain L Ron Hubbard, a writer and explorer of whom I had known for some time… He is a gentleman, red hair, green eyes, honest and intelligent and we have become great friends. He moved in with me about two months ago, and although Betty and I are still friendly, she has transferred her sexual affections to him. Although he has no formal training in Magick, he has an extraordinary amount of experience and understanding in the field. From some of his experiences I deduce he is in direct touch with some higher intelligence, possibly his Guardian Angel. He is the most Thelemic person I have ever met and is in complete accord with our own principles. He is also interested in establishing the New Aeon, but for cogent reasons I have not introduced him to the Lodge. We are pooling our resources in a partnership which will act as a parent company to control our business ventures. I think I have made a great gain, and as Betty and I are the best of friends, there is little loss… I need a magical partner. I have many experiments in mind. I hope my elemental gets off the dime [gets moving] — the next time I tie up with a woman it will be on [my] own terms.”[v]
“Betty” was Sara Northrup, both Jack’s mistress and sister-in-law, his estranged wife Helen’s sister. Hubbard won her affections; he would later claim he “rescued” her from the cult. Parsons acted blasé in his letter, but by most reports he was seething. Parsons and Betty “had been practicing an open marriage at Parsons’s insistence, as a matter of Thelemic liberty.” According to author Lawrence Sutin, “In fact, while Parsons was wracked with jealousy by this affair, he stood up rather nobly to the strain…”[vi]
Parsons seems to have seen it as a test of his Will, as he believed Hubbard to be essential for a ritual he was performing. According to most accounts, soon after meeting Parsons, Hubbard became a willing participant in a masturbatory magickal ritual undertaken by Parsons, the Babalon Working:
“In its initial stages, The Babalon Working was intended to attract an elemental to serve as a partner for Parsons’ elaborate sex magick rituals. The method employed was that of the solo VIII Degree Working of the O.T.O… Parsons used his “magical wand” to whip up a vortex of energy so the elemental would be summoned. Translated into plain English, Parsons jerked off in the name of spiritual advancement whilst Hubbard (referred to as ‘The Scribe’ in the diary of the event) scanned the astral plane for signs and visions.”[vii]
“The ritual took place over twelve consecutive nights in January 1946. To the strains of a Prokofiev violin concerto, Parsons made a series of eleven invocations, including the ‘Conjuration of Air’, the ‘Consecration of Air Dagger’ and the ‘Invocation of Wand with Material Basis on Talisman’. …Parsons performed rituals which led up to ‘an operation of symbolic birth.’ Then he settled down to wait. For four days he experienced ‘tension and unease… Then, on January 18, at sunset, while The Scribe [Hubbard] and I were on the Mojave Desert, the feeling of tension suddenly snapped… I returned home and found a young woman answering the requirements waiting for me.’ The woman was Marjorie Cameron. Parsons wrote to Crowley: ‘I seem to have my elemental… she has red hair and slant green eyes as specified’.”[viii]
Crowley wrote back with a caution to his young apprentice:
“I am particularly interested in what you have written to me about the Elemental, because for some little while past I have been endeavouring to intervene personally in this matter on your behalf. I would, however, have you recall (Eliphas) Levi’s aphorism, ‘the love of the Magus for such beings is insensate and may destroy him.’ It seems to me that there is a danger of your sensitiveness upsetting your balance. Any experience that comes your way you have a tendency to over-estimate… At the same time, your being as sensitive as you are, it behooves you to be more on your guard than would be the case with the majority of people.”[ix]
Despite his Master’s cautions, Parsons, Cameron and Hubbard continued The Babylon Working...

Arisia 2019 Schedule and Balticon!
Spent some of this weekend getting my act together for Arisia 2019. It comes up fast once you flip the calendar! Two weeks away, now. January 18-21st - now at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, as the original location had a labor strike going on. Not cool.
Arisia is "New England's Largest, Most Diverse Sci-Fi & Fantasy Convention" - (Arisia.org) and this year, proud to say, I'm on four panels, throughout the weekend. Here are the day, time, name and descriptions provided by the convention:
Friday at 7pm in CABOT it's FADE IN: Speculating in Other Media - Stories and novels get most of the attention in workshops and panels like these. What are some other outlets for writing? What should an aspiring speculative screen writer know about the art? How hard is it to become a comic book writer anyway?
###
Saturday at 4pm in FRANKLIN – Writing for Comics - Writing for a comic book is very different from writing poetry, novels, or short stories. Our panelists discuss their tactics for writing comics and also offer up their advice on "making it" in the industry.
Saturday at 5:30pm in NEWBURY - Indie Comic Revolution - Image is no longer a small, specialty publisher. Kid-focused companies like BOOM! and Action Lab are making lucrative deals with big-name cartoons. Creators are finally getting credit for their creative energies. Independent webcomics are some of the highest grossing Kickstarters. This panel explores the rise of modern “indie” comics, the move away from superhero comics, and how creator-owned content is the future of the industry.
###
Sunday at 10am in WINTHROP – Make It Yourself - "If you don't like it, make it yourself" is the blow-off line delivered to fans who complain about the low quality, poor handling of characters, or lack of diversity in comics. But how exactly do you start "making it" yourself? This panel will explore the steps it takes for you to start making your own comics--from scripting, to drawing, to publishing. Our panelists can help you with tips, tricks, and advice on making comics for yourself. By the way? I'm Moderating this one! First time I'm moderating at Arisia, we'll see how it goes.
###
So that's my Arisia 2019 Schedule.
Same day I got my confirmed schedule, I received my email inviting me to Balticon 53 (Balticon.org)! So yes, I'm planning to return to Baltimore's inner harbor once again this coming Memorial Day Weekend - Back to Balticon!
Arisia is "New England's Largest, Most Diverse Sci-Fi & Fantasy Convention" - (Arisia.org) and this year, proud to say, I'm on four panels, throughout the weekend. Here are the day, time, name and descriptions provided by the convention:
Friday at 7pm in CABOT it's FADE IN: Speculating in Other Media - Stories and novels get most of the attention in workshops and panels like these. What are some other outlets for writing? What should an aspiring speculative screen writer know about the art? How hard is it to become a comic book writer anyway?
###
Saturday at 4pm in FRANKLIN – Writing for Comics - Writing for a comic book is very different from writing poetry, novels, or short stories. Our panelists discuss their tactics for writing comics and also offer up their advice on "making it" in the industry.
Saturday at 5:30pm in NEWBURY - Indie Comic Revolution - Image is no longer a small, specialty publisher. Kid-focused companies like BOOM! and Action Lab are making lucrative deals with big-name cartoons. Creators are finally getting credit for their creative energies. Independent webcomics are some of the highest grossing Kickstarters. This panel explores the rise of modern “indie” comics, the move away from superhero comics, and how creator-owned content is the future of the industry.
###
Sunday at 10am in WINTHROP – Make It Yourself - "If you don't like it, make it yourself" is the blow-off line delivered to fans who complain about the low quality, poor handling of characters, or lack of diversity in comics. But how exactly do you start "making it" yourself? This panel will explore the steps it takes for you to start making your own comics--from scripting, to drawing, to publishing. Our panelists can help you with tips, tricks, and advice on making comics for yourself. By the way? I'm Moderating this one! First time I'm moderating at Arisia, we'll see how it goes.

Twisted Branches...
Twisted Branches... one in a very occasional series of short musings on weird band connections and "DNA"...
It still kind of blows my mind that Foreigner was started by a founder of King Crimson.
Did you know that? There's shared "DNA" between "I Want to Know What Love Is" and "The Court of The Crimson King" - between "Hot Blooded" and "Larks Tongues in Aspic" - thanks to one of Foreigner's founders, Ian MacDonald -- who was also an original member of King Crimson.
Now, it's not like he stayed with either band for very long. When Foreigner's Mick Jones declared he was trimming the "fat" from the band as Foreigner released "4" there was poor Ian getting lumped in with the lard. And King Crimson turned out to be Robert Fripp's baby. One "served" at the pleasure and whim of the King of the Crim. Ian was gone soon after the first album; according to the 1995 Edition of the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll, "On the band's debut U.S. tour, (drummer Mike) Giles and MacDonald left, the latter in a band-control squabble."
In his recent - and quite awesome - book on Prog Rock, The Show That Never Ends, author Dave Weigel spends a few pages covering MacDonald's - and others' - early departure from King Crimson, and offers more insight:
According to Wikipedia, Ian is still with us - had to look him up after he came to mind:
There is ONE song which, to me, actually demonstrates the shared DNA of the bands, and the fact that the same guy - MacDonald - co-wrote songs on Crimson's first album and Foreigner's first three. If I have a favorite Foreigner song (more on that in a sec), it's this one - "Star Rider":
I swear there's a little King Crimson in that Foreigner...
Afternote: A scary little glimpse into the way my mind works -- thought of all of this because I awoke and saw a fresh coat of light snow had fallen outside, and the world looked blue. My mental jukebox kicked on "Blue Morning, Blue Day" and part of my mind declared it to be my "favorite" Foreigner song. Another part disagreed and put forth "Star Rider" - and so I recalled Ian MacDonald, and the strange "DNA" connecting Foreigner and King Crimson.

Giles and MacDonald were fraying, pining for their girlfriends. For the first and not the last time, the US was rending King Crimson apart. "We were blowing audience's minds," said MacDonald, "and the thing was turning into this monster that was growing and maybe at the time I wasn't equipped to deal with it." Fripp said, "...King Crimson was everything to me. To keep the band together, I offered to leave instead but Ian said that the band was more me than them."
Ah, the classic "he said, he and he said" scenario. Or, given that lead singer Greg Lake soon followed MacDonald and Giles out the door, perhaps even a "he said, he and he and he said" situation. Though it sounds like a bitter and acrimonious split, Ian did play with Crimson a little a bit later, just before Crimson broke up in the mid-seventies. Freeing Ian up to form Foreigner, evidently.
According to Wikipedia, Ian is still with us - had to look him up after he came to mind:
Ian McDonald (born 25 June 1946 from Osterley, Middlesex) is an English multi-instrumental musician, best known as a founder member of progressive rock band King Crimson, formed in 1969, and of the hard rock band Foreigner in 1976. He is well known as a rock session musician, predominantly as a saxophonist. He also plays keyboards, flute, vibraphone and guitar.Wikipedia says he's still active as well, most recently with "US/UK Indie Rock Country Fusion Invasion" band Honey West.
