Here is an excerpt from my forthcoming novel, Children of the Starry Sea. It’s a direct sequel to Star Wanderers and the second book in what is going to be a trilogy.

Rethinking some things
So I had an extremely vivid dream last Friday night where I got cancer and learned that I had only a month to live. Among other things, I found myself asking: “What am I going to do about my writing career? Who is going to finish all these books? Are they going to fade into… Continue reading Rethinking some things
WIP excerpt: Edenfall

If I hadn’t experienced firsthand the events of my own life, I would be skeptical as well. But I assure you, my story is true. The legends of humanity’s lost… Continue reading WIP excerpt: Gunslinger to Earth
Good things are happening!
It’s been a while since I posted a general update here on the blog, and while I’ve been sharing regular updates to my mailing list, enough has been happening that I suppose I should let all the rest of you know what’s going on.

Finishing up Gunslinger to Earth
I’m finishing up right now with the third and final book in the Gunslingers Trilogy, Gunslinger to Earth. Just one more chapter to wrap everything up, then all the final revisions for the last few chapters. So far, so good. At 40k words, this is turning out to be one of my shorter novels. I’m… Continue reading Finishing up Gunslinger to Earth
