Then Outworlder got featured by the site, which generated a modest upswell of interest that has been growing ever since. A lot of people have been calling for me to post the next book. Now, it’s time. If you’re on Wattpad, be… Continue reading Star Wanderers: Dreamweaver (Part V) is going up on Wattpad!

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. Those are some big releases, so you can expect to hear a lot in the coming… Continue reading Two new stories!
What’s going on here?
According to The Submission Grinder, I currently have 8 short stories on submission. Right now, ALL of them are overdue for a response. I haven’t submitted a story anywhere in the past 30 days, and that’s highly unusual. Either things are slow because it’s the end of the summer, or… In related news, I have a… Continue reading What’s going on here?
Playing with cover art
So last week, I was dinking around with some images, making a cover mock-up for a Star Wanderers short story that’s currently on submission to Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. This is what I came up with: The model is Devon Jade, photographed by Aaron Tyree on Deviantart (CC BY 2.5). The background image… Continue reading Playing with cover art

It’s done!
Yesterday I finally finished the second draft of Friends in Command (Sons of the Starfarers: Book IV)! I know I’d said I was working on other projects, but those were intermittent—this was the main one I was focusing on. I still need to run it by my first readers, but I’m pretty sure this is… Continue reading It’s done!
The love languages of Star Wanderers
So I’ve been reading this really interesting book recently called The Five Love Languages. Maybe you’ve heard of it. The basic idea is that all expressions of human love and affection fall into five basic categories or languages, and that we’re all better at speaking or understanding one language than we are at the others.… Continue reading The love languages of Star Wanderers
Thoughts on the danger of falling in love with your characters
As a writer, I spend so much time in the heads of my viewpoint characters that I can’t help but like them.
