You can find earlier snippets here, here, and here, in descending order of chronology. Happy Reading! In all other e-formats, click here. ************** To hide…

Space Opera Snip the third
Third snip of the space opera novella. I think one more, next week sometime, and then I will publish. Which means I have to get moving on the cover! This morning, however, math. I keep thinking I’m going to get a handle on it and it will stop taking like umpteen hours of homework for…

Space Opera Novella Snip the Second
Still looking for title suggestions, this is the part where things start to go wrong for our heroes… This has, you may note, strong ‘romance tropes’ which was deliberate back then, although now I’m looking at it and scratching my head. I really have changed, as a writer. Snippet One can be found here. *******************…

Review: Muses of Roma
So sometime last week or maybe the week before? *mumbles under breath* time keeps dilating on me… Anyway, this is your sleep-deprived book review. I got an email saying “I see you review books on the blog, would you mind terribly taking a look at mine?” Or words to that effect, and my first reaction…

Titling, Snippets, and Other Pains
I mentioned before, I think, that I never intended to write fantasy. I wanted to be a science fiction author. Space opera, Mil SF, maybe some Hard SF (although I’m too much in love with characters and story to do much of that). I began, a long time ago, to write my first novel in…

Review: Last Flight From Queensland
I wanted to talk to you all, those of you who care to reply, anyway, about what you’d like to see here for reviews? Do you want me to find good stuff, and post happy reviews of things you might enjoy reading: in other words, only the good? Or do you want the randomness that…

Voyageur’s Cap
I have a new story out! Naked Reader Press published my tale of space, if the Hudson’s Bay Company came back into the business of exploring, trading, and saving humanity… Well, that last might be a new thing for them. I’m including a snippet to get you interested, and you can buy the story for…

Review: Finally!
So, last week I read two space opera novels and had planned to review them on my usual Friday, but time ran out. I work most weekends, and this last week, that meant Friday most of the day, too. Nice, for making-a-living, but meant I was pretty much away from computer for three days. I…

Review: Postponed
I am supposed to put a review here for you, and I have two, actually, but they aren’t happening until likely tomorrow. Just too much to do. I did finish a short story last night, set in feudal Japan, with a tattoo artist and a woman who isn’t what she seems. I’m pleased with it,…

Review: Take the Star Road
I picked Take the Star Road, by Peter Grant, to read for this review because I love science fiction that harks back to the age of exploration, that celebrates humanity’s hunger for the stars, and most of all, tells a good story. I was rewarded with everything I had hoped for in this book. The…

This is going to be a short post. I really ought to be writing – well, ok, writing fiction, not blog posts. My day so far has been filled with writing, but for school, and work. I did a little reading, too, in breaks from the writing. One thing I read was Sarah Hoyt’s blog…
