Trope Tuesday: Schrödinger’s Gun

The world of a fictional universe isn’t fixed beyond what the author has revealed to the reader. This is what happens when Schrödinger’s cat gets hold of Chekhov’s gun.  There are a whole lot of interesting and potentially useful plot points lying around, but the writers are pantsing it as they go, playing a game… Continue reading Trope Tuesday: Schrödinger’s Gun

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

I commissioned Ina Wong from Deviant… Continue reading Update on STAR WANDERERS and a sneak peek at some cover art

Unstuck again

For the past few weeks, I’ve been kind of stuck on chapter 3 in Star Wanderers: Benefactor.  This one is a parallel novella to Fidelity, from Jakob’s point of view.  It’s been a lot of fun to write so far–Jakob struggles with a lot of the same issues I do, like self-reliance and independence vs.… Continue reading Unstuck again

Star Wanderers: four novelettes or a novel in four parts?

So my plans to publish Star Wanderers have run into a little snag…Part II was rejected for distribution to iTunes, Sony, and other retailers, with an order to unpublish both parts and republish them as one work.  The order probably came because of this clause in the Smashwords Terms of Service: 9d. You further warrant… Continue reading Star Wanderers: four novelettes or a novel in four parts?
