Friends in Command — excerpt 3
Breakfast wasn’t anything special. Mara sat at the same table as the others, but a little ways off. The others would fill in around her—those who dressed fast enough to make it to the mess hall in time, that was. She couldn’t understand why so many of them waited until after their run to dress… Continue reading Friends in Command — excerpt 3
Friends in Command — excerpt 2
Aaron slept through his morning alarm, but not through the banging on his sleepcube door. He groaned and lashed out with a kick, landing it squarely on the tiny hatch that was the only way in or out of the private sleepcube. The banging stopped, but the alarm was impossible to ignore. He slapped at… Continue reading Friends in Command — excerpt 2
Friends in Command — excerpt 1
Mara Soladze never expected her greatest moment of triumph to feel so empty. The SMG bucked in her hand as she sprayed bullets across the starship bunkroom. Her hand was steady, her grip firm. The three Gaian Imperial officers cried out in terror as she cut them to the floor. They fell with bright red… Continue reading Friends in Command — excerpt 1

Where’s SONS OF THE STARFARERS: BOOK IV?
So it’s been several months since I released Strangers in Flight (Sons of the Starfarers: Book III), and I’ve already gotten some flak from people waiting impatiently for Book IV: Friends in Command.

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
Things I learned in 2014 (Part 1)
Last week, Kris Rusch wrote an interesting blog post reflecting on 2014 and things she observed that indie writers learned, so I thought I’d do something similar and reflect on some of the things that I learned last year about the business and the craft.
