Travel, Culture, Life. Road Trip Oman: Peaks and Valleys Near Jebel Shams. April 9, 2015. May 26, 2015. After two blissful nights on top of Jabal Akhdar we depart the hotel feeling completely relaxed, with the distinct scent of Frankincense wafting from our backpacks. We load into the Pajero, reluctantly wave goodbye and pick up a carpooler. Into the Al Hajar Mountains. Our welcome at Al Khateem. The view ahead of us is split into a barren brown landscape and a clear blue sky punctuated with the geologic...

On Pen Names | Ariel Bolton
https://arielbolton.com/2015/05/02/on-pen-names
May 2, 2015. May 2, 2015. Welcome to my brand new blog and my brand new identity. I’m Ariel Bolton, a soon-to-be-published writer of SF short stories, and a maybe-someday novelist. This week, I sold my first short story. When I received the contract, I had to make the first important decision about my writing career: to choose a pen name or not? In the end, I decided to go with the pen name. I like my real name, and I’m not ashamed of my fiction, but several factors pushed me to choose a nom de plume.

More stories from the mountains. July 9, 2016. July 10, 2016. Writers usually dread questions about where they get their ideas.

The Goblin King: A Review. July 7, 2015. July 8, 2015. I just finished reading Katherine Addison’s. One of the novels shortlisted for this year’s Hugo awards. It’s a book that answers a question I’ve asked many times at the end of other fantasies: What happened after the protagonist unseated the Bad King and took the throne for himself? How did he turn the ship of state around? The detachment is exacerbated by a complex system of naming and honorifics. Characters are often referred to by their title ...

Deciphering Medieval Manuscripts | Ariel Bolton
https://arielbolton.com/2015/05/24/deciphering-medieval-manuscripts
May 24, 2015. July 8, 2015. My university degrees were in Medieval Studies. In recent years I haven’t had much cause to crack open a manuscript, but the recent visit of a scholar friend from overseas got me thinking of an old puzzle I hadn’t solved yet. Here’s a hint: by medieval Florentine reckoning, numbered years begin in March. I’ll post an answer at a later date, when people have had a chance to grapple with the puzzle.
