Cover for All the Nothing We've DOne

Christina McMullen, sci-fi and fantasy author, robot apologist
Welcome to the World of Vampires and Robots

Your next adventure awaits. Christina McMullen's science fiction and fantasy tales promise action, thrills, and the occasional romance, all with a sharp sense of humor peppered throughout. Find a new favorite today!

Similar works by the author:

  • Going Green (a satirical zombie novella)
  • Rise of the Discordant (a humorous cozy urban fantasy series)
  • Maxima City Talent Series (Multi-authored superhero satire)

A brief summary in the author's own words:

From The Twilight Zone to the works of Ray Bradbury, my earliest exposure to speculative fiction led me to see genres as gentle guidelines, not rigid rules. Science can exist in a fantasy world. Magic can happen in space.

And sometimes, the mundane is anything but.

All the Nothing We've Done imagines a world where the Christian afterlife is real, but it is not our actions that determine our destination. Instead, it is the consequences of our actions that ultimately decide our fate.

Christina McMullen is a science fiction and fantasy author who just can't seem to keep humor from sneaking into everything she writes. When she's not writing (which is most of the time these days), she's either getting her butt kicked in Mario Kart or catering to the whims of a very small and very grouchy dog.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017

    *Warning: may be spoilers* "All the Nothing We've Done" is a very thought provoking and even, at times, humorous read. Do not read this expecting a message of salvation by grace as it emphasizes salvation through proving your worth through good deeds. This fact does not affect my rating as I do not believe a salvation message was the author's intent. Rather this story follows the main character as she is forced to look back on her life and realize there are good and bad sides to every action she has completed. Eventually, the story concludes with the question of which is greater, doing everything or is it sometimes greater to do nothing? This was a very interesting and quick read. I felt the plot and scenes were well described and loved that the author was able to incorporate humor into an otherwise dark subject. I give "All the Nothing We've Done" five stars.

    If you died suddenly and were confronted with the reality of having to justify your deeds to get into heaven, what would you say?

    ‘All The Nothing We’ve Done’ revolves around this very question in a light-hearted and often humorous way, yet it is an interesting and thought-provoking read.

    The reader is reminded that what one person considers sinful might be seen as virtuous by another - perspective and interpretation are key factors in how we view and evaluate others actions, or our own.

    This is a great short read. Perfect for passing the time while stuck in a waiting room, in line at the DMV, or waiting for your Ambien to kick in after tucking yourself in bed. I laughed out loud several times and appreciated the unique outlook on the importance of what we do with our time here on earth. Sometimes it's just about catching the sunrise.

    5.0 out of 5 stars More good stuff from Christina McMullen
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    This is a bit of a departure from the norm for Christina McMullen insofar as it's a short story and not quite filled with the LOL-inducing humor that I've come to know and love from her. That does not, however, mean that it was not as good as anything she's ever written. There's subtle humor in the irony of the situation and it's a good look at how do nothing is just as bad as doing something wrong. Excellent, short read!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017

    Rather than present God as a heavy-handed overbearing judge, Ms. McMullen shows him as one who can appreciate the good that comes about as a result of our actions here on earth, regardless of how misguided our approach might be. Thia was entertaining and well written, and leaves the reader eith a lot to consider. Great job!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A story to confound your expectations - in a good way
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    By golly, this story confounds expectations.
    We start with the death of the implausibly named lead character, Chevelle Falsetto.
    Chevelle is perenially late, not terribly interested in her job and, well, was she really making hte most out of life? Before, well, you know, death.
    But then those confounded expectations come along, bringing with them a bunch of questions. Such as who gets to decide a person's fate, and who can really judge a person's life from the outside?
    It's a wryly told tale, that maybe serves as a reminder to not judge those around us without knowing their perspective.

    I really enjoyed this short story. Humor, sassiness, and smarls? What more could you ask for in a short story. One of the better parts was McMullen's take on the afterlife. Definitely a fresh take if I've ever seen one.

    Reviewed in Germany on June 11, 2017

    An excellent exercise in re-framing, I loved the different perspectives it offered on the main character's life and choices. The balance of the seriousness of final judgment and humour in the same situation was perfect. It was short and sweet, with a sprinkling of sass. It's also one that I know I'll be reading again because I enjoyed it so much.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unterhaltsame Kurzgeschichte mit Augenzwinkern
    Reviewed in Germany on February 3, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Chevelle wurde von dem Bus überfahren, mit dem sie fahren wollte und ist vorzeitig gestorben. Sie kommt an einen Ort, wo alles ist weiß mit ein wenig Gold ist und trifft auf St. Petrus. Die beiden diskutieren, was sie in ihrem Leben getan oder nicht getan hat.

    Diese Kurzgeschichte ist unterhaltsam und lustig. Ich empfehle sie! Auch alles andere, das ich bisher von Christina McMullen gelesen habe, fand ich sehr ansprechend.
