One year and eighteen days ago, the Omnibus of all five Episodes of the original Starship's Mage went up. Since then, I've been wondering at what point to take the individual episodes down. Someone buying all five of them actually paid me less than someone buying the cheaper Omnibus. We went through a number of hoops trying to make clear the ... Read more »

Looking Forward – 2016
As I mentioned previously in my post Looking Backwards, 2015 was a mind-boggling year for me. I released four novels (City in the Sky, Space Carrier Avalon, Hand of Mars and Stellar Fox), made a deal with Tantor Media to release audiobooks of my main-line books (Space Carrier Avalon, Starship's Mage, and Hand of Mars have all been released as of this blog post), and in general have watched my mostly forsaken dream of being an author explode into reality.

Stellar Fox is complete
At 91,436 words, the first draft of Stellar Fox, book two of what I think will be called the 'Castle Federation' series, is now complete. Still a lot of work to be done on this one (I don't even have a cover yet) and I'm heading out to England tomorrow for my grandmother's funeral. I'm not going to commit to a specific date yet, but I think I can safely say that Stellar Fox will be out in December of 2015. ... Read more »
