TV’s UFO Revolution is Nothing But Revolting

By Lauryne Wright | February 8, 2025

There’s a bit of snark recently making its way across social media from Bizarro Comics that depicts one-eyed, four-armed, green aliens with bulbous heads engaging with a woman walking her dog after disembarking from a flying saucer in the background. One extraterrestrial being says, “Take us to your leader.”  The human responds, “Only if you […]

Groundhog Day: Political Hogwash All Over Again

By Lauryne Wright | February 2, 2025

First, let me just say on this Groundhog Day that I chose the accompanying photo because the critter looked as if they might be inquiring, “What the hell is wrong with you people?” I haven’t covered Groundhog Day in my Other Worldly novels or in this Luna Moth Woman blog, but I did once write […]

Anyone Else Ready to Be Abducted By Aliens?

By Lauryne Wright | January 26, 2025

This post is for alien afficionados and for those avoiding the news agony avalanche by binge-watching retro shows this past week. The best part of the week for me was memes on social media about alien abductions. My favs were: At this point, if I get picked up by aliens, I’m just going to go […]

Misogynists Make Movies (and Military) Sickeningly Sexist

By Lauryne Wright | January 16, 2025

Sexism is in the news (congressional confirmation hearings for incoming administration cabinet pics, so no surprise there); sexism remains rampant in real life (moronic MAGA Congressmen mansplaining what sexism is and isn’t to women); and sexism is all too prevalent in American movies no matter what the era (said members of Congress apparently also don’t […]

Aliens Watch: Travel To Saturn In The New Year

By Lauryne Wright | January 7, 2025

Aliens Watch, seventh in the Other Worldly series, has launched! Here’s your opportunity to travel to Saturn, aka Cultura and the agricultural planet if you’re an alien, and perhaps avoid what’s happening this month in the new year 🙂 You might even meet Bigfoot or a few other supposedly mythological creatures. As always, the paperback […]

Jules: Marvelous Movie on Aliens and Aging

By Lauryne Wright | January 3, 2025

For the majority of the holiday season, I tediously searched streaming sites for something to watch that would not render me agitated and distressed (like gratuitous violence and/or football), but also would not be vapid, boring, and ridiculously bland (like typical Hallmark Christmas fare). Often I will rewatch beloved movies or coveted TV series in […]

Thanks For Believing In Me Who Believes in Aliens

By Lauryne Wright | December 27, 2024

Now that the designated seasons of giving thanks and believing in Santa Claus and the spirit of Christmas have passed, it’s almost time for new year’s resolutions. But given it’s also what many don’t realize is only the third day of Christmas—of “Twelve Days of Christmas” carol fame—I’m still going to espouse on gifts, and […]

A Passion For Planets: Pursuing Childhood Whimsy  

By Lauryne Wright | December 20, 2024

I’ve long had a fascination for the planets of our solar system, which is likely why I now write my Other Worldly novel series focused on the possibilities surrounding extraterrestrial life on Earth and beyond. But when it came to the actual study of astronomy? Not so much. As my Other Worldly  protagonist Rowan Layne […]

Judging a Book Publisher By Its Cover Designer

By Lauryne Wright | December 13, 2024

I’m getting ready to work with the cover designer employed by my publisher for the seventh time. There are myriad financial aspects to why I decided to continue self-publishing my Other Worldly series with BookLocker, but the best reason is working with their designer, Todd Engel, to keep a bit of consistency in the look […]

First Other Worldly Novel No Longer Obsolete, Unfortunately

By Lauryne Wright | December 6, 2024

For the past four years of having a decent human being serve as our US president in real life and subsequently in my Other Worldly novels, I’ve worried that as time goes by, the first book, Alienable Rights, would become somewhat difficult to relate to because it features a maniacal moron in the White House […]
