Ken Rand

1946 – 2009

Ken’s work with over 100 books and short story from sci-fi to the weird to the politics from the mind of a great friend we lost in 2009 to cancer. Even in death Ken was a teacher as he donated his body to science. Our sit down is a comedy of errors for sure but Ken is such a great guy I wanted to share this with our fans as well. Ken works live on even with the passing of his mortal body. You can find his published works here and many short stories. We hope you enjoy a truly down to earth man and fellow sci-fi geek as well.

June 14, 2010 adminLeave a comment

Will the real Klingon lunch lady please stand up, please stand up please stand up?…. Ok enough of that Jaleta Clegg, you have heard of

Utah Space Camp

her in a previous episode on iscifi.tv Well Jaleta is not only a book author, a mother and a geek, she works with Space Camp Utah.

She told me that she is called the Klingon lunch lady, for some of the weird names that come up with for lunch. Mystery meat anyone? how about Warrigul with Bahgol (ya I looked that up on wikipedia, like I speak kling on). . Just EEEW. Jaleta brings a sense of humor in this segment, and is also a fan of homestar runner yet the staff at Utah space camp tell her to stop playing the music too loud!

Enjoy this latest episode:

Compare the sinister Jaleta photo with my findings of a Klingon female, notice anything similar with the pictures above?

Conduit XX: Jaleta Clegg Nexus Point and more.

June 14, 2010 adminLeave a comment

Jaleta Clegg is a local author from Utah. Her most recent work Nexus point contains ship, explosion and the feudal age (in laymen terms, the dark ages).

excerpt from her book:

When Captain Dace crash lands on a primitive planet, she finds herself on the run from villagers who are sure she’s a demon and the Patrol, who’s sure she’s a smuggler. Accused of piracy, facing death or worse at the hands of those who should be rescuing her, she must find not only some way to survive but also escape. Unfortunately, the world has other plans….

Jaleta (jay let ah) is not only candid and a geek, she is a great asset to the written word.
