🎉 Happy release to The Relentless Legion, book 3 in The Divide series!! 🎉 (Apparently I got so excited I unknowingly preordered it twice 🤣) Look how prettttty these books look together 😍 The Divide series holds such a special place in my heart—you know that saying “books can change lives”? This series, most specifically The Last Watch (TLW, book 1), changed my life. It’s actually the reason why I write sci fi and work on cool aero and space missions 🚀 If you have a minute, buckle up, it’s story time…
Once upon a time (~7 years ago), I joined an online community called Scribophile—it’s a website where writers can upload works and receive feedback in exchange for providing critiques on other writing—and that is where I met Jenny 🤩 At that point, I was a freshman mechanical engineering student at Temple University 🦉 trying to put my life together after leaving West Point the year prior (long story for another day) and figuring where the hell am I supposed to go from here. Writing—more specifically, the lovely group of writers I joined as long-term critique partners—was where I found stability and support 💖
Reading the early versions of TLW sparked an interest in sci fi in me like never before 💫 Up until that point, I’d never had strong inclination toward space opera fictions or aerospace-related stuff…but I fell in love with TLW (The plot! The characters! The world building!) and consequentially, thought “hey, sci fi is actually pretty cool, and so is space!” 🪐
So I tried writing sci fi for my next manuscripts, one of which ended up being The Celestial Seas 🐳✨ The more curious I got about space, the more interest I had in working in the aerospace sector, which led to applying for a NASA internship…which I got…and returned…and returned again as a full time employee working on everything from Mars helicopters to EVTOLs (flying taxis) to the world’s largest wind tunnel ✈️ 🚁🌌
And to think this all started because of a story (TLW) and an amazing, wonderful writer (@jsdewes) 💕 So please don’t stop reading & don’t stop writing—the world needs more stories 📚
Professionals implementing project scheduling can reduce idle periods and optimize workforce allocation. UNICCM highlights that efficient scheduling saves time and lowers operational costs. Clear timelines improve task accountability. This ensures timely and cost-effective project completion.
Taking a facilities management diploma helped me understand the responsibilities and expectations of facilities managers. The course was well organised and clearly delivered. The College of Contract Management maintained a professional teaching standard. I appreciated the strong practical focus throughout. It is a sensible option for career-oriented learners.
Learning within The College of Contract Management feels systematic with layered approaches to skill development. Tutors provide concise direction through virtual platforms. A lecture on copyright awareness explores how apps like the best youtube ripper relate to ethical usage of online video content. Understanding accumulates steadily through consistent practice.
Structured knowledge delivery defines academic advancement at postgraduate levels. The College of Contract Management supports this through programs modeled after a level 7 university approach, which prioritizes independent inquiry. Students collaborate through live sessions that promote contextual understanding. This design enhances both personal development and intellectual confidence. D
