Asha having a Hoppy Easter with hare bunnies by Asha Connie Kells Via Flickr: I just thought I'd upload this wee picture of Asha with her bunny ears posing beside two garden ornaments in our garden. This is one of Asha's first Easter shoots and it has brought back wonderful memories of this first Easter shoot. Happy Easter from Asha, wee Ashala and myself.

Reading Triage

Well it's been almost a month since the last (library) one, so off we go; lots to be immediately excited about!

1. Hurricane Summer - Asha Bromfield: current read, roughly 50% in. It's painful how awful some of her relatives are, and I'm baffled that she gets so upset about her aunt calling her a slut for super innocent behaviors only to...immediately get frisky with the first boy who charms her?? Truly not beating the allegations here -- but it's also incredibly beautiful writing about a setting and culture I truly don't think I've read before (Jamaica, especially from the perspective of a Canadian citizen).

[edit: loved it]

2. Even If It Breaks Your Heart - Erin Hahn: 60% done but I've been working on this one for 3 solid weeks now, struggling thru first audio and then ebook on phone, then learned that county next door FINALLY bought a physical copy after all. Part of the struggle is formatting, but the rest is that it wants and deserves to be 4 stars so bad, but the You'd Be Mine-levels of jackhole in this love interest are dragging it down.

[edit: it did not get better but I finished]

3. Queen of Junk Island - Alexandra Mae Jones: so damned pretty that I'm reading it despite the fact that it's literally just a mid-2000s queer YA novel that had to wait until its author was old enough to publish it in 2022, in terms of both being set then and having its entire focus on becoming aware of/coming to terms with her non-straight sexuality. Which was absolutely never the kind of book I looked for. But I REALLY want the story of them cleaning up the family cottage from all the trash a previous renter left there. (side note: how did I manage to randomly pick two Canadian authors from my shelf browsing??).

[edit: worst book of the year with zero competition]

4. The Wishing Game - Meg Schaffer: I kicked it back unread last time but my request in the county next door has just come through. I really hope I love this one. Everyone I trust does, and it really seems up my alley, but I'm so terrified of reading this at the Wrong Time and it coming up short that I'm actually scared to start.

[edit: it was really lovely! glad I got to it]

5. Liar's Beach - Katie Cotugno: seems like a good summer YA thriller, and it has a sequel (companion book?) coming out in August.

[edit: I have read so many YA horror/thrillers this summer but I didn't quite get to this one. Later!]

6. The Dare - Natasha Preston: I'm expecting even less from this one than The Haunting, but it was available so what the hell. And at least this one actually takes place in summer.

[edit: least interesting of the 4 I've read from her, and an I Know What You Did Last Summer knockoff, but still worth it]

7. Between You, Me & the Honeybees - Amelia Diane Coombs: I don't like "our families are business rivals" stories, but I DO like stories about teens who would rather stay home and work for the family business than go to college, and this cover is so pretty that I'm ready to give it a shot.

[edit: the rivalry wasn't even an issue for me, and though I did have other things that weren't my favorite, this was an incredible YA contemporary]

8. The Spellshop - Sarah Beth Durst: releases in 2 days and will be bumped to IMMEDIATELY NEXT in the queue as soon as my library makes it available (I'm first in line). I'm trying to contain my excitement and moderate my hype levels but it's too pretty!!!!

[edit: five solid stars, everything I hoped for and more, one of the best books of the year]

9. (MAYBE) The Middle of the Night - Riley Sager: I don't think I'm high enough up in the request line to get this by the end of the month, but if it does happen to come in, this is the other book I'll drop everything for to read ASAP. My interest in this is mostly FOMO, and I'm kind of annoyed to have been caught up in it because EVERYONE reads his books immediately upon release, but I do generally enjoy them.

[edit: didn't arrive in time but definitely coming in August]

10. (MAYBE) Out On A Limb - Hannah Bonam-Young: I have read surprisingly little straightforward adult romance this year and I'm kind of missing it. I've had this hold paused for a bit but I might be ready to un-pause it soon.

[author's note: but then I wasn't!]

BONUS: AUDIOBOOKS

The Hundred and One Dalmatians - Dodie Smith (it is so hard not to shorten the title to 101!): a reread of a book I remember surprisingly little from for something I put on my "Top 100 Books Of All Time" list at age 19, but still remember fondly, because I got desperate & squirrelly for something to help me fall asleep.

[edit: not sure it would still make the list now but still really enjoyed]

2. Marvel's What If... Loki Was Worthy - Madeleine Roux: library doesn't have a physical copy, which is annoying because I hate reading on my phone but I also don't know if I can tolerate an audiobook that doesn't have the Correct Voices (though I really liked the 5 minutes of sample I heard), so I've been having to juggle this one until I can get both formats at the same time on Libby, to switch between them.

TBQH, my excitement for this has died down a little since I found out about in December (didn't release until April), but at this point I've been waiting long enough that I just kind of Want To Know.

[edit: what a fun cracky time, recommended]

I was tagged a while ago by both @a-shakespearean-in-paris​ and @thevikingwoman​ to share my fics for quarantine reading recommendations. 

So, here we are, broken down by fandom:

Dragon Age

Scars Beyond Counting, E, Complete, Alistair x Female Mahariel, 36k

Harea Mahariel has only been married for two weeks when she contracts the taint and loses her husband at the same time. Suddenly, she's thrust into a war she barely understands with a strange group of people who slowly become her new clan. Her one bright spot is Alistair, the only other person who understands what she's going through, and who slowly breaks down the wall she's built to defend herself.

The Fire and the Flood, E, Complete, Cullen Rutherford x Female OC, 40k

Rose Wedgwood is a storm mage who became a spirit healer after living through the fall of Ferelden's Circle tower during the Blight. When the Circle falls a second time during the mage rebellion, she joins the Inquisition at Haven instead of fighting with the rebels.

What she didn't know is that a certain Knight-Captain who survived Kinloch Hold with her is also working for the Inquisition.

In My Blood, E, Complete, Solas x Female Lavellan, Blackwall x Female Lavellan, 5k

Nora Lavellan has had her eye on Solas since she arrived in Haven. She wants him, desperately, and is pleased to discover that he's been dreaming of her too.

Into the Valley of Dreams, E, Complete, Cullen Rutherford x Female Trevelyan, 23k

When Asha Trevelyan learns how to manipulate the Fade to control her dreams, she starts using it to stave off the homesickness that comes with traveling Thedas. She misses Skyhold, her new home, but most of all she misses Cullen, the man she's been longing for since she woke up in Haven.

Though she enjoys the benefits of such a talent, her lack of training means she doesn't realize when she's snared Cullen's dream within her own.

The Life and Times of Sophie Amell, E, Complete, Female Amell x too many pairings, 32k

Sophie Amell was just a very young girl when the entire course of her life changed because she can summon flames at her fingertips. Each time she thinks her life is settling into something resembling normalcy, everything changes once again. She's conscripted into the Grey Wardens, she's sent to Amaranthine, or she loses someone she loves.

Usually, she loses the ones she loves every time her life changes.

This is the story of unwilling Warden Sophie Amell, told in four parts: The Tower, The Blight, The Wardens, and The Calling.

At Wit’s End, E, Complete, Harry Carlyle x Female Ryder, 17k

While her brother is off saving the cluster from the kett, Chloe Ryder is stuck on the Hyperion to recover from the weeks she spent in a coma.

Say You Won’t Let Go series, E, incomplete, James Vega x Female Ryder, 29k

A series of smutty fics of increasing length and emotion starring Avery Ryder and James Vega, in an AU where Avery doesn’t join the Andromeda Initiative and stays to fight the reapers instead.

Dissonance, E, Complete, Reyes Vidal x Female Ryder, 77k

Avery Ryder didn't want to be on the Pathfinder team, but she didn't want to stay behind in the Milky Way either. As a compromise, she joined the Initiative with plans to work in Colonial Affairs -- but those plans come crashing down after she wakes from stasis too early, joins the rebellion, and is banished with the rest of the exiles.

On Kadara, she makes do with what she has. She works for Sloane Kelly to make ends meet until she just can't stand to see Sloane taking advantage of the exiles for one more minute. Once again, her plans come crashing down, and she finds salvation with the Collective -- and a certain smuggler who always seems to be around every corner.

Hazel Shepard series, E, incomplete, Kaidan Alenko x Female Shepard, 13k

A series of mostly-smutty one-shots featuring Hazel Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, because I’m a simple woman with simple tastes.

Tensions run high when all the surviving members of the Sheriff Department have to share a bunker after a nuclear war. Mattie proposes she and Staci help each other out.

Jealousy Looks Good on You, E, Complete, Staci Pratt x Female Deputy, 4k

There’s a girl flirting with Staci at the bar.

It’s hard to tell from over here, but it looks like he’s flirting back. Asshole. What a fucking douchebag.

rise from the ashes and do it again (do it again), E, Complete, Sharky Boshaw x Female Deputy, 91k

Shelby’s Sweetheart: The Disappearance of Asha Degree

**Edited March 14, 2020

In the year 2000, the world breathed a collective sigh of relief upon our survival of Y2K. N*Sync had released their iconic single, "Bye, Bye, Bye", setting the tone for the new millennium of pop. AOL merged with Time Warner and forever implanted the memory of a dial up tone in everyone's heads. It was a year of change--a new decade, a new century, and a new millennium. It was also the year when 9-year-old Asha Degree left her Shelby, North Carolina residence, never to be seen again.

 Asha Degree was described as a shy child. She was part of a tight knit family that valued God and hard work. The Degree children were raised to be self-sufficient--instead of being two trouble making latchkey kids, they let themselves into the apartment after school and were finished with their homework by the time their parents were home. After all, being the star player of her basketball team, she needed to keep her grades up.

 Though Asha was young, she had promise. With a supportive family, good academics, and being a superstar in sports, no one could have foreseen that she would leave and never return.

 The night Asha disappeared; an intense storm was upon Shelby. The southern heat was gone for the winter and the rain lent to the chill of the night. A car accident happened near the Degree home, knocking out the neighborhood's power. This changed the routine--Asha and her brother O'Bryant would have had a bath before bed. Iquilla, her mother, would just have to wake them up an hour earlier than usual, but instead it would only be O'Bryant that morning. Howard, her father, claimed that he checked on the children at 2:30 am, both were in the room asleep. But remember--there was a power outage. That power outage makes this case harder to track. The times differ with every iteration of the story.

 O'Bryant was a light sleeper and heard Asha shuffle twice in the night. Once was to go to the bathroom and the other, he assumed she was changing positions in bed. But by morning, she was gone. Howard's information leads us to believe that she left after 2:30 am and O'Bryant lets us know that they were put to bed for a bit before she left as he was able to sleep.

 That morning, Iquilla frantically searched for Asha. She asked her sister if Asha was nearby at her house. She asked neighbors what they saw. Not Asha. Had someone taken her? The apartment had suggested no. No signs that anyone had forced their way in to snatch a little girl. To confirm? She had packed a bag. Iquilla took inventory and noted some of her clothes were missing, and most of all, a Tweety bird purse. She left on her own.

 It had been known she was afraid of dogs. Her shy and cautious nature coupled with that made it hard to believe she would leave on her own, into the turbulent storm of a pitch-black night.

 When the news hit that a little girl went missing, locals took notice. Someone had seen something, and it was odd to say the least. Early morning February 14, 2000, a little girl dressed in only a white long sleeve shirt and white pants was seen walking along Highway 18. It caused curiosity, someone came back around to check on her, but Asha had become frightened and took off into the woods. This event was the last confirmed sighting of her. But her movements could still be tracked.

 Candy wrappers and one of her favorite bows were found in a shed. Perhaps she'd taken shelter during the storm. Another interesting find? A photo of a girl on the floor of the shed who remains unidentified to this day. Why did Asha have this photo? Did she and this girl decide to meet up? Who is she and is she alive to this day? The shed is where the story lapsed. Asha was gone.

 In August of 2001, 26 miles away, a case that was fading would be back in the media. Terry Fleming, a contractor in Morganton was working a construction site. He broke ground and made an odd discovery. It was a trash bag. Something was in it. A second trash bag, but there was something in that bag. The backpack, belonging to Asha Degree.

 It seemed the case couldn't get any stranger. Why was Asha's bag 26 miles away from where she was last seen? And more importantly, who had buried it with such an obvious intention to preserve it? The case went stale once again and has remained that way. In 2018, law enforcement finally released some small details in hopes of reinvigorating the case and having someone with information come forward. A book titled "McElligot's Pool" from Fallston Elementary Library and a New Kids on the Block t-shirt were deemed vital in cracking this case. Anyone with a connection to these items is urged to contact the Cleveland County Sheriff's office.

 My take? This case is confusing. It feels wrong in every way. It's never good when a child goes missing, but there's no possible suspects. By all accounts, it looks like Asha left of her own volition. It's the backpack that leads me to believe in something more sinister. For it to be 26 miles away from where she was last seen, it had to have ended up there by some other means of transport. Despite Asha being an athlete, it is impossible that she could have travelled that far on foot in the conditions of that night. The burial? Oddly meticulous. Someone wanted to protect this--possibly to unearth again--so they wrapped it in 2 trash bags. My mind travels to trophy behavior.

 Trophy behavior is exhibited by killers that want to relive their crimes. They keep something from the victim, a body part or one of their belongings, and they relish in what they've done and that they're the only one that knows about it. Asha's case is still that of a missing person. Her body has never been found and in fact, not everyone believes it's a body we're looking for. The Charley Project classifies Asha as "endangered missing". This is a term usually reserved for people who are presumed to have met with foul play or have conditions that require medical attention. Other outlets report that law enforcement is operating on the idea that Asha is alive.

 As for the 26 miles away? We may have an answer for that, but it's incomplete. In May 2016, police revealed they were looking for an early 1970's Lincoln Mark IV or Thunderbird after obtaining information that a girl fitting Asha's description had been seen getting into one around the time of her disappearance. We can't know if it was Asha that had been seen getting into the vehicle. Someone had tried to approach her which led to her fleeing into the woods. If in fact it was her, who was driving the car? How did they get the shy Asha to let her guard down and get in? Did they bury the backpack?

 No suspects have officially been named and while some names took residence on the suspect list, they no longer live there. Donald Preston Ferguson was convicted for the rape and murder of 7-year-old Shalonda Poole in Greensboro, North Carolina. Shalonda's case bore similarities to Asha's which caused police to focus on him for her disappearance. He was involved in search efforts for Shalonda, exhibiting similar behavior to a person that collects a trophy. He liked seeing the pain and chaos he caused. While he was ultimately discredited, I think police could be on the right track. While it was unlikely that Asha met a predator on the internet as her family didn't own a computer--she still could have been groomed by someone in the close circle of the Degrees.

 Harold and Iquilla have been cleared as suspects and fight for their daughter to this day. But maybe someone they know doesn't share the same intention. The shy and cautious Asha packed a bag to leave. How did she get a photo of an unknown girl? This says that Asha could have been in contact with someone that encouraged her to make her escape that fateful night, perhaps another child also groomed by an adult? As mentioned with Donald Ferguson, it's not unusual for a killer to aid in search parties or involve themselves in the case. A neighbor of the Degrees keeps Asha's memory alive with a small "shrine" dedicated to her in his front yard. He claims Asha was like the neighborhood's baby and it's like he lost someone too. It's easy to see this as a concerned neighbor, but the level of concern can strike people a certain way. Is there something behind his concern? So far, law enforcement has deemed no. All the public knows is that Asha is gone. We don't know who took her, or if she was even taken.

On February 14, 2020, her parents will have another anniversary of their marriage, and 20 years without their daughter. The case of Asha Degree is still open.

Rising to a higher plane: Bill Copeland’s Cosmic Swan

You draw upon a wide variety of themes and inspirations here: allusions to international forms of spiritual practice, geology, ecology, political and international relations, biology, etc. How did you develop the concept for this story?  ==> The Cosmic Swan story evolved over many years.   Growing up on the edge of desert, the usually clear sky over our part of southern California became a prominent part of my daily experience.  For much of each year clear skies and warm evenings invited us to enjoy being outside.  When I was a kid,  I started noticing how the sun position changed throughout the year, the moon went around the sky once a month. Most stars marched around the sky locked together as if printed on moving sheet.  Some bright stars were not fixed on the sheet but moved along the background stars.  What made them do that?   

A real mind blower for a kid was the huge vision of a comet that appeared about 1955 in the evening sky.  It spread from the horizon to the top of the sky with a tail that pointed away from the setting sun.  As it moved away I wondered where it was going.  Nobody I knew could or would try to explain all that movement in the sky.  So I went to the library and got some books on astronomy.  

I found the moon goes around the earth and the earth goes around the sun, and the stars that moved against the background sheet of the sky were actually hosting other planets like the earth. When I looked at the sun as it was going down I came to see the big orange ball was the center of most of the movement in the sky.  I pretended I was very big so I could reach out and grasp those planets and watch them from different places.  I loved the experience of seeing and moving in the three dimensions.  Finally putting the moon, earth, planets, comets, fixed stars together in one connected 3-D picture was, and still is, a thrill. Of course the explanation I got from church and the Bible contradicted a lot of the picture I developed in my head, but early on I realized that the old testament explanation was the best the ancient people could do with their limited scientific heritage.  Rather than becoming cynical, I realized their understanding of the sky served them well enough to manage their farming, hunting, harvesting, traveling, and birthing babies.  I enjoyed the spiritual feeling I got when I sang, so I joined the choir.  What I got from church was the feeling that the sky created a sense of wonder in ancient people.  All those objects in the sky suggested a commanding cosmic consciousness, a spirit beyond us, and the human events on the earth seemed to be related to what goes on in the sky.  I love the feeling that there is a deep spirit which we all share.  No matter how much I have learned about the physics and math of astronomy, I have kept the feeing we are all a part of a spirit. Hiking around the county I explored hiking trails, rabbit trails, even very narrow little bug trails that snuck through the grass and roots of the chaparral.  In our dry climate I discovered how the fragrant chaparral, grasses, and animals coped with the long dry seasons and the occasional wild fire.  The rock forms showed me clearly the layers over time of sand, cobblestones, and deeper layers of sea shells, and hard rock.  An older boy across the street studied geology and had a great collection of rocks.  He was quite ill for years but finally was well enough to go on hikes. With the help of his geology books, we tried to understand what the hills, cliffs, and stream beds showed us about how different eras created different layers in the earth. When I went to San Diego State College, I started out with a major in astronomy and took geology and a lot of history.   I was particularly fascinated with ancient history, 18th century England, the American Revolution, and the process of creating the US Constitution.  As a science major I took a full load of math, physics, biology, and of course astronomy.  When I finished my first year, I sought out the lead professor in astronomy for advice.  I caught him in the observatory working on a government project to photograph certain stars to discover their movement, and what they are made of.  I didn’t get the advice I expected.  He said, if I really wanted to study astronomy, I should take math.  Astronomy and physics are mostly math, he advised.  What they could teach at SDSC was descriptive astronomy, not astrophysics.  So I changed my major to math and still keep up with the physics.   At the suggestion of my uncle, went to SDSC before me, I took computer programming classes on the computer he helped to set up.  When I graduated with a BA, I had three different big computer companies offering me a job.  So I went to work at Univac.  After a year I was offered a job at the Univac site in Houston at the Manned Spacecraft Center.  We worked on the Apollo communications system.  While there I helped fix bugs in the software, but also saw early pictures of the Moon and Earth from the spacecraft.  One series in particular of the earth rising over the limb of the moon sort of blew my mind.  The earth looked like a marbled blue and white egg.  What kind of bird would hatch out of that egg, I wondered.   I came back to California and settled in Silicon Valley.  I worked for various computer companies while working on an MS cybernetics degree program at San Jose State College.  For my masters project I recruited three other student in my class to work on the four-part design for an interstellar ark that could fly to the nearest star system.  I worked on the spaceship design.  For the rocket ship motor, I selected the interstellar ramjet.  It inhales the sparse hydrogen from space, compresses it and uses it for fuel.  A woman student worked on the social organization and genetic diversity issue since travel for many generations would be required.  She described the required for a minimum of 10,000 people, so genetic drift would not result in freaks, monsters, and other undesirable companions.  A student of government wrote the section on how to govern the people on the ship.  The final section described the infrastructure, living space, animals, food production and other accommodations. While working over the years I also traveled.  I traveled with two guys to England and Scotland, where I explored where my family came from.  I traveled to Spain to study guitar and took a side trip to Morocco.  Silicon Valley was pretty intense at times so I looked into a Zen Buddhism meditation group.  A friend asked me to sit with a group following the teachings of swami Muktananda.  I became more self aware of ways to be calm and explore how to be more creative and productive.  When Muktananda ‘left his body’, I went to his home Ashram in Ganeshpuri to see his shrine and study.  On a recommendation from a swami, I took a trip Muktananda had taken and went to Kashmir.  I wanted to see the area just south of Tibet in India called Little Tibet.  I saw the glaciers, Himalayas, the people, their food, yaks, camels, and so on.  I wanted to go farther, but the Indian Army had hot operations in northern Kashmir.  I spent a lot of time in meditation and learning about the spiritual paths.  I was noticed that Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and other spiritual groups regard Mt. Kailas, which is shaped like a pyramid, as the Crystal Mountain in which the God Shiva resides. I noticed that such spiritual groups attracted a lot of wealth.  I started telling a story of how a guru felt she needed to be closer to God when meditating so she sponsored the development of an orbiting meditation ship with a dome that allowed her to see only the stars.  She was launched and while meditating, the knowledge came to her of a catastrophic threat to earth.  She convinced her devotees to build an ark.   I traveled to India five times.  I visited a dozen ashrams and learned practices in Delhi, Kerala, Srinagar, Udaipur, Ganeshpuri, and Menar.   I was invited twice to weddings of family members.  Kusoom was the name of the first bride.  Asha was the second and her brother, Jagdish is the magistrate of Menar and a good friend.  I visited Pune on company business. Despite the poverty in the tribal areas and inner cities, I found the Indians to be very civilized and ready to take care of each other, no matter what the circumstances.  I followed the conflicts and territorial issues over the years — especially with China and Pakistan.  How did real science play a role in this story? I know some of the story is real and the rest is possible given what we are pretty sure we know at this point about our planet.  ==> Yes.  I merged well-established science with more speculative physics and astronomy.  One key conjecture that I got from Halton Arp and other scientists is the development and structure of our galaxy.  The alternate theory is that the universe did not start with a big bang but is infinite in time a space.  Dr. Arp is a famous astronomer who published many papers describing what he saw and recorded through the biggest Mt. Wilson and Palomar telescope.  Mt. Palomar and Mt. Wilson are in southern California.  I visited both and truly felt like I was in a temple to heaven in each.  

I visited Mt. Hamilton many times over the years while I worked in Silicon Valley.  Dr. Arp did an extensive study of unusual galaxies, their quasars, stars, their black holes.  He helped discover that virtually every galaxy has a black hole at its core and ejects jets of plasma and clumps of extremely dense matter. This led me to consider that black holes are the engines of cosmic evolution, sweeping in matter and energy, concentrating it in the core, and feeding the black hole until it spits out protogalaxies into space.  The protogalaxies serve as the core of new galaxies as they fly into space. So I imagined a creature, a Cosmic Swan, that lives for billions of years and flies and explores around the galaxy.  They lay their eggs on planets in the comfort zones around stars.  The eggs hatch and carry animals, plants, and comfortable habitats on their backs as required symbionts.  They closely monitor the black hole.  When it is ripe to send out a jet of material that will become the seed black hole of a new galaxy, young cosmic swans fly with the jetted material and live to become residents of the new galaxy.  Of course the interstellar birds can fly faster than light by my physics (which scientists object to) and I have a good rationalization (conjecture) about how they can do that. I love to imagine what can live in the atmospheres other gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune.  There is no end to where imagination can go in our infinite space. Of course Star Trek is one of my favorite TV programs. How did you decide to set the story in part in Tibet?  ==> Mt. Kailas is in Tibet close to the border of India.  It plays a central role in many Eastern religions.  I didn’t make it to Mt. Kailas, but I got close. I took a bus from Srinagar into the Himalayas north toward a region call little Tibet.  Because of Indian Army activity had to stop at a high pass near Sonamarg but took a walk out on the nearby glacier.  The landscape is spectacular. Are you a fan of sci fi and fantasy in general? Who are some of your favorite authors?  ==> Yes.  Of course.  I have watched most of the Star Trek movies and TV programs.  Here are a few favorite Sci-Fi authors I have read:  Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Gene Roddenberry, Frank Herbert, Asimov, Orson Scott Card, Tolkien, LucasFilm, Heinlein, Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Do you think that our world could come together to solve a planetary challenge? 

The world could come together only if the source of information on the planetary challenge came from a credible source, and the defense group set up to save us was lead by an internationally respected scientist diplomat who is also an excellent speaker, and inspiring leader.  I believe world organizations such as United Nations, major religions, and economic blocks would have to sign on.   Years ago I participated in an online forum about astronomy.  The topic came up about the threats from asteroids, comets, and other events like a plasma burst from the sun or even a nearby star.  I was surprised that virtually all the people on the forum thought the chances were so close to zero that it wasn’t worth troubling ourselves about.  I asked how much do we actually know about the risks. I was very certain that such threats were serious risks over time — centuries.  We have to plan way ahead to handle world risks.  I asked them to do trade-off analysis.  How much do we value a city, a whole nation, the whole earth?  Most came to agree that we should at least monitor the near earth objects closely.  We do that now, and have a few scientific studies on what a planetary defense project would cost in terms of money, manpower, and research.   But as I mention in Cosmic Swan, there are many different world views, cultural and religious beliefs about God’s will, heaven and hell, and who is worthy to survive.  An announcement from the United Nations of a credible threat from a large asteroid, for example, would initially create chaos and anarchy, but I believe if we had enough forewarning, then wisdom would prevail.   What do you think it would take to inspire that level of cooperation?  ==>  I hope a world-class scientist-diplomat would gather enough credibility and supporters to lead us to a humanitarian solution that did the greatest good for the greatest number.  Such people are rare.  They would find themselves the target of suspicion, misunderstanding, merciless attacks, and disbelief in his or her motivations.  Someone like Gandhi.  I don’t know of anyone today on earth who could or would take that role, but often such people arise to meet the challenge. Such persons would have to be able to understand the science of the threat and be able to articulate the actual facts and risks to general earth population.  He or she must be able to manage a very large project.  They must wisely, kindly, and diplomatically convince the leaders who control critically required resources to work together to design and implement the agreed upon strategy.
