Fiction Series So Big, They Cross Multimedia Platforms
​

In this article series launched on the Alien Romances Blog called "Fiction Series So Big, They Cross Multimedia Platforms", I explored supernatural fiction series that sometimes had their beginnings as books but branched out into other types of mediums, like videogames, movies/TV series, board/card/role-playing games, and music. In each individual article that introduced entertainment connoisseurs to some incredible fiction or components of similar themed stories they might have otherwise missed, I discussed the origins of the series elements as well as my individual experience with the various types of media, which will be presented as a kind of review of the series.

"Reflections of Life" by Karen S. Wiesner
In looking back over the course of my life as an author who's looking forward to becoming an artist in retirement, I've learned to slow down and reflect on the past, savor the present, and look forward to the future. Interspersed through these ruminations each Friday on the Alien Romances Blog, I included some of my own sketches.

"Pros and Cons of Taking a Break from Writing" by Karen S. Wiesner

“The Practice of Benevolence {A Reflection on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol}” by Karen S. Wiesner
In this article, I reflect on the lesson that the spirit of benevolence and goodwill toward our fellow human beings throughout the year is in the eternal need for compassion, kindness, and mercy to all, as well as the transformative power of change coming from within.

“Daily Thanksgiving” by Karen S. Wiesner
From the moment we wake up until we fall asleep, we're continuously judging everything inside, outside, and all around us not only negatively, but also positively and somewhere in-between. Is it possible to simply accept things as they come and go and view them all as experiences that shape us, hopefully for the better? In honor of Thanksgiving, I talk about practicing gratitude in an article called "Daily Thanksgiving".

“Beware Ignorance and Want” by Karen S. Wiesner
The individual cells that make up a body are like a community…but beware ignorance and want! In a reflective post just in time for Christmas, I present another Dickens’ A Christmas Carol inspired article.
