Author’s Note for THE JEREMIAH CHRONICLES

Here’s the author’s note at the end of Star Wanderers: The Jeremiah Chronicles.  It’s the only content in the omnibus that isn’t available anywhere else, and I don’t want my readers to feel like they have to buy something they’ve already read in order to get it.  And if you do want to buy it,… Continue reading Author’s Note for THE JEREMIAH CHRONICLES

Thoughts on serials and ebook pricing

I’m going to do something potentially dangerous and discuss pricing strategies in a rather candid way.  I may risk turning off some of my potential readers, especially the ones who don’t like shorter works, but I want to be as open and transparent as I can, since I figure it’s only fair, especially to someone… Continue reading Thoughts on serials and ebook pricing

In our own solar system, the only other world that comes anywhere… Continue reading T is for Terraforming
