Another one done!

It’s done! Draft 2.0 of The Sword Keeper is finished. Still need to run it by some test readers, but it’s looking very good for a release this year. In other news, the power cable for my laptop decided to die. I’ll replace it eventually, but in the meantime, I’m going to try turning my phone… Continue reading Another one done!

My answer to Worldcon 2016, Sad Puppies, and the Hugo Awards

So Worldcon 2016 and the Hugo Awards happened over the weekend. It went down about how I expected it would: the award for Best Novel went to an outspoken racist, one of the most prominent female editors in the field lost (again) to No Award, and the TruFans and SJWs made the convention Safe for Diversity… Continue reading My answer to Worldcon 2016, Sad Puppies, and the Hugo Awards

Two new stories!

Now that I’m back from Cape Cod, I’ve got two major projects that I’m focused on: finish the first draft of Captives in Obscurity (Sons of the Starfarers: Book V), and get Heart of the Nebula ready for publication in November.

Brothers in Exile — excerpt 11

“What do you think?” said Aaron, breaking the silence that had inadvertently fallen between them. “The design for the cryotank is crude. I don’t think we can thaw her with any of the equipment here.” “We’ve got to take her with us, then, and find someone who can.” Isaac frowned. Something about that idea made… Continue reading Brothers in Exile — excerpt 11

Brothers in Exile — excerpt 10

A mostly decayed body lay curled up beside a small cylindrical storage tank in the middle of the floor. The body itself wasn’t much different from any of the others, but the tank was something else entirely. It was built like a coffin, with the upward-facing part made almost entirely of glass. And inside of… Continue reading Brothers in Exile — excerpt 10

Brothers in Exile — excerpt 9

“I’m turning a corner,” said Aaron, his voice as clear as if he were standing just a few feet away. “If this is like Megiddo, then—yep, the corridor continues on the other side of this maintenance room. Following the blue arrows. Passing one door, two doors …” The display screen flickered, then showed a new… Continue reading Brothers in Exile — excerpt 9

Brothers in Exile — Excerpt 8

They set off down the windowless corridor, their helmet lights illuminating the way. Little flecks of dust lit up like tiny stars as they walked by, suspended peacefully in the air until the wind from the brothers’ passing wrenched them back into the darkness. With the closeness of the walls, though, Isaac felt a little… Continue reading Brothers in Exile — Excerpt 8

Brothers in Exile — excerpt 7

Isaac sighed heavily and shook his head. “Haven’t we seen enough already? Everyone is dead—that much is abundantly clear. We can refuel the ship from the external tanks, so there’s no need to investigate any further.” “Yeah, but don’t you want to find out what happened to these people? Maybe if we go up, we’ll… Continue reading Brothers in Exile — excerpt 7
