THE FEELS!! #amwriting #scifi — Joe Vasicek (@onelowerlight) December 10, 2015 Yesterday I finished the second draft of Captives in Obscurity (Sons of the Starfarers: Book V).

Why SSF-V: Captives in Obscurity won’t be coming out in January
Okay, so here’s the deal. Back in May, I made what might possibly be the worst mistake of my entire publishing career: I severely underpriced all of my Star Wanderers books. For the year and a half leading up to that decision, sales had been declining rather steadily, and I was getting rather desperate for some way to reverse… Continue reading Why SSF-V: Captives in Obscurity won’t be coming out in January
Sick sick sick!
I have been sick for about a week now and it sucks—literally. Got a sore throat right now, and I’m sucking on garlic to try to make it go away. Strangely enough, it seems to be working. It all started with my cute little niece, who apparently is an incubator for the plague. Came down… Continue reading Sick sick sick!
To publish or submit?
Man, I am so sick right now. Caught a stomach flu from my neice, and it has been going through me like a chainsaw through butter. In any case, things are going fairly well aside from that. Heart of the Nebula is now up for pre-order through November 21st, so you can expect to hear a lot more… Continue reading To publish or submit?

For those of you reading the Sons of the Starfarers series, I’m only about a chapter away from finishing the first draft of Captives in Obscurity. If… Continue reading Cover reveal for my next big novel!
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!
Update from Cape Cod
Wow, it has been forever since the last time I blogged. So I’m at Cape Cod right now, vacationing with family for the next full week. Since my parents are moving from Massachusetts from Iowa, this will probably be the last time that we come up here, at least for a very long while. I’m… Continue reading Update from Cape Cod
Streamlining
About a month ago, I decided to make some changes to my writing process. I’d noticed that a lot of time was passing between book releases, and that even though I was writing almost every day, there wasn’t much to show for it. My old process tended to go in one of two ways: ONE… Continue reading Streamlining
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
Upcoming plans for 2015
I think my favorite time of the year is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. It’s a time for reflection, of looking at what you accomplished in the previous year and setting resolutions for the next one. In that spirit, here are some of the writing and publishing things I’d like to accomplish in… Continue reading Upcoming plans for 2015
